Title
Many women today are facing a crisis that threatens their right to have control over their own bodies. In the light of the Roe v. Wade case being overturned, 50 years worth of protection for women's rights were lost and this lead to many states putting heavy restrictions or even outright banning abortion. People should not ban abortions because it’s a womans right to choose whether or not to keep the pregnancy. A woman should not have to carry for nine months just to give it up for adoption right after birth. Mostly because, everything in the United States healthcare system is extremely expensive. So, to be forced to carry an unwanted child for nine months just to get to labor and …show more content…

In fact, millions of women die due to unsafe abortions. This goes against a woman’s right to life, causing many states to review laws that criminalize abortions and increase access to family planning and sexual reproductive health information to reduce the number of deaths due to unsafe abortions (Safe and Legal). Some people may argue that abortions go against a child's right to life; however, I disagree. It’s scientifically proven that a fetus doesn’t have a heartbeat until a certain age, and in that time a fetus is not technically alive. More specifically, a fetus doesn’t have any amount of recognizable traces of heart development until around 6 weeks of gestation (Sullivan). I do agree with this information to a certain extent. It is my belief that after this point, you should not be able to get an abortion because the fetus is …show more content…

A child should be born when both parents are ready, whether it be financially, mentally, or physically, to give that child the best possible future. Not to mention, that men will never know what its like to go though the pain of child birth just to give that child up for adoption and have to pay for the hospital expenses after. If the bans on abortions go through, the mortality rate from unsafe abortions will increase. If this continues, more women will die because of the laws that discriminate against them, pushing them to get unsafe abortions. Women have the right to their own bodies and that is a right the government should not have the power to take away; thus, we need to stop these laws that discriminate against

This baby that is growing in the mother's body will become a child and then an adult and could have the most amazing life. That child could end up being super successful and loving their life, and that will never happen to those 1.2 million babies aborted each year. Also, just because it is the mother's body and she has the right to do what she wants, doesn’t mean that the baby growing inside of her doesn’t have the right to live, because everyone has the right to live, including those unborn children. (Why Abortion Is Bad for America - ProQuest). In addition to this argument, pro-choice activists that say that the unborn child is not living, nor is the fetus a personareis incorrect.

This is where the controversy within myself starts. Because this idea sets in with women rights as well. I do not believe the government has the right to tell you what you should and shouldn’t do with your child. I do not believe they should help you, and I don’t believe that they should hurt you either. This also means no government funding for planned parenthood.

Caitlynn Thomas Mrs. Simmons English 3 H 14 December 2015 Rough Draft Late-Term Abortion is Not Wrong or Unethical (too informal?) Late-term abortion has been a topic debated over generations and is still seen as a vital issue today. A majority of the population views late-term abortion as morally and legally wrong, which is mostly due to the manipulation of the government and media. The Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act signed by George Bush places the lives and health of women and fetuses in danger, as well as puts doctors at risk for providing safe care (Feldt). As this ban still stands, people listen to the majority of society rather than their personal thoughts on the topic.

Before Roe v. wade the number of deaths from illegal abortions was around 5000 and in the 50s and 60s the number of illegal abortions ranged from 200,000 to 1.2 million per year. These illegal abortions pose major health risks to the life of the woman including damage to the bladder, intestines as well as rupturing of the uterus. The choice to become a mother must be given to the woman most importantly because it’s her body, her health, and she will be taking on a great responsibility. A woman’s choice to choose abortion should not be restricted by anyone; there are multiple reasons why abortion will be the more sensible decision for the female.

A baby's life is valuable and should be protected. In today's society there are fines for killing eagle eggs but we have no problem killing a human baby. These are just some of the mixed standards when it comes to abortion. We should be celebrating life and he miracle of babies not taking it away. We have no right to play God and choose if a baby gets to live or not.

Upon conception an individual is created, this individual has the right to life and should be protected. Dr. Maureen Condic tells us that the most primitive responses to pain in the spinal cord are developed by eight weeks gestation and that it is a universal agreement that pain is detected by the fetus in the first trimester. Dr. Bernard Nathanson stated that when an abortion is performed on a 12 week old fetus, “we see (on an ultrasound machine) the child’s mouth open in a silent scream.” It is immoral to kill a child for convenience. People are having sex and should know that even with using a form of contraceptive there will be a risk of pregnancy.

Although many people are not happy with this decision, this is what the courts decided, so it is the reality of the situation. Due to factors such as cost, emotional consequences, and physical consequences, abortion should be the last case scenario. Following research, it can be concluded that adoption should be more readily available in America than abortion. “Adoption allows a birthparent to continue with her life, finish school and achieve other goals while knowing that her baby is being cared for. Adoptive children can grow up knowing they are in a stable home with a permanent family” (Brannagan n.p.).

Women have the right over their body's, why should anyone else decide if they should have a baby or not! They should have the right to say, “yes I want this baby” or “no, I do not want it” and that both options are available. Being able to keep their baby is simple, but if one woman does not want to have their baby, it gets a little bit more complicated. The reason for this is that the solution is abortion, however abortion is not legal in many places, so they do it illegally.

The increasingly touchy subject of abortion, and whether it is right or wrong isn’t merely the debate of whether a woman can make her own choices about her body, but whether or not it is ok to stop life before it even has a chance to happen. The fetus has just as much a right to live as much as you and I, as from conception it is by scientific terms, alive. Even if it doesn’t have the brain capacity to understand that it is alive, it is still alive. And it should be allowed a chance at life.

These new laws enrage pro-choice activists and have sparked many protests, lawsuits and heated debates arguing that restricting abortion rights is unconstitutional and goes against Roe v. Wade, used to protect abortion across America. The intended outcomes of these two sides is to either provide legal and safe abortions across America or fully ban abortions nationwide to “protect new life”. I believe that abortions should be legal and easily accessible in America, as well as the rest of the world. Women should have the complete right to make decisions about their own bodies no matter what the decision is, just like men have the same right. Why should a woman not be able to make the decision to get an abortion when a man could make the decision to have a vasectomy?

Abortion has always been a controversial topic, and with debates from the recent presidential election bringing abortion back into the spotlight, it is clear that people have varying views as well as a great misunderstanding of abortion. Often, the morality of such action is widely discussed, and stones are quickly thrown. I believe that abortion should be legally and safely obtainable in all cases for women who feel it is the best path to take in their pregnancy.     While abortion is currently legal in all 50 states, some lawmakers are working to make abortions virtually unobtainable. For example, in Ohio, a heartbeat bill sat on the desk of Governor Kasich.

If we force women to carry the child, it would cause physical and possibly emotional pain. We should allow women to choose what they can do with their bodies. When women can choose when to have their children, their children grow up in a more optimal environment meaning less crime rates and possibly less child abuse rates. Abortion does not only benefit the women, letting her have another option besides caring the child. It benefits the child from possible child abuse as well as society from less criminals and having to spend less money on future welfare

Sadly, this right is violated when performing abortion. People who support abortion say that the fetus in the womb is not considered a human being yet, so it does not kill or harm anyone. “In fact, unborn babies probably feel pain more intensely than adults. This is a uniquely vulnerable time since the pain system is fully established, yet the higher level pain-modifying system has barely begun to develop.” (Ranalli) The babies inside the womb feel pain, they are no different than an already born baby or an adult.
