This article opens up with the history of contraception. The Egyptians were the first to practice contraception with certain herbs, and sometimes the removal of an ovary. As time went on some people, like people of Jewish decent, believe that a child is a part of a woman till birth, and should not have its own rights until after birth. Then the United States is introduced, and Lopez offers Roe vs. Wade ruling as the official legalization of abortion. After abortion became legal, in most states, women’s excuses for having an abortion were mainly comprised of three explanations. First, they stated that the child would interfere with their obligations; second, it was an issue of affordability; and third, women stated having problems with their partner or not having a partner. …show more content…

Pro-life proponents argue that a mentally handicapped person lacks the same abilities, but they are still given rights. Lopez states, “It is reasonable to agree that if an unborn is a human, the unborn is entitled to rights; and if a human is entitled to rights, it must have moral values. This statement appears to make abortion unethical from the standpoint that the unborn entity is being deprived from the right of choosing to live, considering someone else is making that choice; and, therefore, society should ban the practice of abortion.” Also in the pro-life realm, churches view all life as sacred, and abortion is a termination of a life, therefore abortion should be done away with. According to Lopez, Pro-choice proponents try to focus on the future welfare of the child. If a mother is unable to provide resources for the child, then the child might develop many negative psychological effects (e.g. anger problem, or lack of

If someone were to ask your opinion on abortion, what would you say? Would you say that you are pro-life, meaning that you support the legal ability to abort their developing baby in the mother’s womb. Would you say that you are pro-choice, meaning that you support the legal ability to have the option to abort if you were to have an unwanted, accidental, or health related pregnancy. Many religions have their own ideals on when it is considered that a fetus is alive, when it is morally okay to have an abortion, and if it is a female’s choice. No matter what anyone decides for an embryo to be considered alive and immoral to have an abortion for the entire country, everyone still has their own ideals and morals that cannot be eradicated for everyone to follow one mindset.

On January 22 of 1973, the Supreme Court ruled abortion as a fundamental right. Forty-five years later, many people still take a stance as Pro-Life and don’t believe that abortion is a right. Though the reason for why people have different standpoints on this topic could seemingly be endless, the main roots of this argument are based on differences in morality, legality, and religious viewpoints. Despite the mass protests that have occurred, nothing has changed regarding the laws on abortion.

“How can we talk about the rights of a fertilized egg when we don't care enough to see that every child is born into a stable, safe, and nurturing environment?” - Rebecca Warner It is not up to the government to tell a woman to give birth or not, and this is denying the access to a pro-choice decision. It doesn't matter if the government is acting out of its own convictions or because of public demand, a woman still has the right to control her own reproductive capacity. This act is not "killing babies¨. Most abortions take place in the first trimester of pregnancy, when the fetus is incapable of living nor has it developed a nervous system or a functioning brain. Although abortion is often viewed by many as a sin, and an act of murder, it should be the woman’s choice.

Actually owning up to a responsibility knowing that you are in no position of financially supporting that child, creates controversy, and also an ongoing stereotype of women and of color. And of course, all of society will carry on to look down upon and follow up on their lack of respect on women in shame. This feeling of hopelessness and disrespect makes it hard to

Maybe this is what needs to happen, or maybe it would lead to a cold war of sorts between the groups, with both sides just passive-aggressively snubbing one another, in the same fashion that the popular girls do when someone ironically wears the same top as them. *Pause for dramatic eyerolling* Abortion alternatives are already in place, but they typically leave something to be desired and can be inaccessible to many people. Additionally, making the choice to have an abortion is not easy for a woman, or for a couple, and the failure to provide adequate information about all the choices present doesn’t make that choice any easier. Pro-lifers shaming women as they walk into clinics, that could potentially provide them with the information to

Why is Abortion Such a Sensitive Issue? When the topic of abortion gets brought up many people are quick to through their opinions at one another. The reason why this subject catches my attention is because of the extremity that some protestor goes through to speak out against the other side, and how controversial the topic is.

34-36). If a mother does not have enough time to take care of her children, then then it is possible for the child to be neglected and not get the care or love they need. Another reasons why a woman wouldn’t want an abortion is “'I can't afford a baby now (e.g, unmarried, student, can't afford childcare or basic needs) (73% in 2004 and 69% in 1987)” (Knapp, 2007, pg. 34-36).
