Amber was asked why she affiliates with the Democratic party and she said because she believes each person’s rights, whether black, white, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight, transgender, would be respected.

No one being tell me what I can and cannot do with my body. If a girl is pregnant and has no way of taking care of the baby then is should be allowed to abort the baby. Or if they’re raped and get pregnant. having that child would remind the mother of being raped. Also the Economist Theory, the guy talks about how ever since Roe vs. Wade and legalization of abortion in the 90’s crime significantly dropped. The book accounted the drop of crimes with legalized abortion because most of the people who get abortions cannot support the child or take care of the child because they are so poor: which would lead to neglect, no positive influence, no one to help to do the right thing. This would lead to those kids turning to the street. And as a result of abortion those kids weren’t born and couldn’t commit the crimes,” was Amber’s …show more content…

Despite opposition to the movement, feminism battles constant stereotypes not only imposed upon women, but men as well. Simply, it’s a movement for human betterment, for human equality, and for human advancement. By ridding society of deeply ingrained, bigoted labels, feminism will succeed in the progression of more open-minded and accepting peoples. Purging gender expectations allows humans to avoid succumbing to discrimination driven by chauvinistic reasoning. A deep-seated superiority complex that those of the least oppressive gender/race maintain often blinds them of their own contribution to the struggle of equality for all. Abuse, sexual harassment, the pay gap between genders, the opportunities not offered, the underestimation, the belittling - these are situations in which feminists must feud against, situations in which feminism becomes important, becomes

The author’s purpose was to challenge the fact that there really wasn’t a human side to abortion, just feminist lawyers pushing their agenda. Norma McCorvey, author, filed a case known in court documents as Jane ROE against Henry WADE, the district attorney of Dallas County who enforced a Texas law that prohibited abortion, except to save a woman 's life. The ruling allowed for legal abortions during the entire pregnancy, but set up conditions to allow states to regulate abortion during the second and third trimesters. The Court held that a woman 's right to an abortion fell within the right to privacy protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. This information will be effective in my debate since, because of this case, the decision gave a

Reconstruction Since abortion is the epitome of a controversy topic, it often instigates passionate debates. In Judith Jarvis Thomson's "Defense of Abortion", she provides a pro-choice perspective. Her standpoint centralizes on evaluating the situation independently as opposed to gaging the cases in a black and white manner. Through rather outlandish depictions such as the violinist, she delineates a thought-provoking scenario for her arguments.

For example, she addresses the assumption that a fetus has a right to life by arguing that this right cannot be absolute, since it would lead to ridiculous consequences. She writes: "If the right to life is absolute, then no woman has the right to remove a fetus from her body, even if it is threatening her life. Clearly, this is an unreasonable conclusion" (Willis, 2007) . By employing logical reasoning, Willis is able to highlight the weaknesses in the anti-abortion arguments, as well as expand the reasoning he utilizes when addressing abortion, as well as persuade his audience that a more nuanced and empathic approach to abortion is needed.

Judith Thomson’s A Defense of Abortion is an article defending abortion on the grounds of rights, duties, and justice. Thomson uses various thought experiments to represent different circumstances surrounding a pregnancy and the permissibility of abortion in these circumstances. One such thought experiment that she uses in her argument is the burglar example. If you open a window and a burglar climbs into your house, anti-abortionists would argue that the burglar has a right to stay in your house and you have a duty to shelter him because you are partially responsible for his presence there. Even if you install bars specifically to keep out burglars and the burglar still manages to break in then you are still partially responsible and he still

In “A Defense of Abortion,” Judith Thomson argues with a unique approach regarding the topic of abortion. For the purpose of the argument, Thomas agrees to go against her belief and constructs an argument based on the idea that the fetus is a person at conception. She then formulates her arguments concerning that the right to life is not an absolute right. There are certain situations where abortion is morally permissible. She believes that the fetus’s right to life does not outweigh the right for the woman to control what happens to her own body.

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.

Women are also discriminated in this world; because they are simply women living in a man’s world, where they are considered to be inferior with their low wages as well as their disadvantages at their work place.

Most abortion arguments discussed today revolve around the premise that a fetus is a human being at conception.

It uses the words stated in the Declaration of Independence that “all citizen’s have unalienable rights,” even though the topic abortion was not discussed during the time of the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. The article then brings up how new science can show a child with an ultra-sound in the womb and the image of the baby on the screen confirms the life of the child who has a right to live. Later, it then argues the decision between Roe v. Wade should be reversed and rejected due to the fact it legalizes the murdering of unborn babies. Finally, at the end of the article it states that a generation could pass and the opinion on abortion will still matter and everyone will always have a different opinion on that controversial topic. “It is a moral issue because it confronts fundamental issues of right and wrong, of life and death,”(RNCforlife.com.)

Since abortions were legalized in 1973, after the Roe v. Wade trial, there has been an estimated fifty-six million legalized abortions in the U.S. alone (“19 Statistics About Abortion”). That is equal to roughly one-point-one million abortions being performed annually in the U.S. (“19 Statistics About Abortion”). The Roe v. Wade trial was a trial in 1973 that was won by the people for abortion. They argued that since it’s the woman's body, they should get to decide, but once a women gets pregnant, it’s not just her body anymore. She’s sharing her body with that unborn child.

Abortion has been one of the most controversial political topics worldwide throughout history. One of the biggest, if not the most significant argument in the longing debate of abortion versus morality. Deep diving into Judith Jarvis Thomson's A Defense of Abortion, I will be breaking down and evaluating her analogies regarding abortion of why I agree she succeeds in showing what she intended for the defense of pro-choice abortion. First and foremost Thomson states right off the bat for the sake of argument despite her disagreement with the premise, she is going to agree that yes a fetus is a person from the moment of conception (Thomson 48). I feel it is essential to acknowledge this because in most instances this would make arguing a pro-choice

Abortion has always been one of the most controversial topics throughout the world. Michael Tooley wrote an article called “Abortion and Infanticide” which consisted of his arguments on the topic. Premise one states that “rights secure for individuals things that we desire.” In this premise, Tooley is arguing that if you desire to have something, then others cannot step in and remove that something from you.

They talked about seven lies pro-choicers believe but are morally incorrect. For example, pro-abortionist believe abortions are needed to prevent overpopulation. When in reality, America and many other countries are below the replacement rate needed to have a steady population. They provided evidence of doctors that confirm their argument that human life begins at the beginning of conception.

Feminism, Misandry, Sexism and Patriarchy The word ‘feminist ‘ to me means a person, not generally a woman, who fights for women and their rights, it means that a person wants equality for both men and women Feminism started out as a movement which helped women gain rights. It was a social, political movement and it helped women win the right to vote, and so it helped decrease the wage gap at work, it helped women take maternity leave from work. Feminism helped women gain rights to work as judges, it inspired popular figures to speak about it, it helped women fight against the crimes and abuse etc. It was empowering and liberating when it made women realize that only they could control their lives, what they chose to work as, what they chose to wear.
