¶ … Legality of Abortion
Abortion It is also the responsibility of parents of young women and teenagers who become pregnant to make them aware of legal abortion, but include advice to avoid the use of abortion as a primary means of contraception.
In a number of modern societies, irresponsible women choose abortion as a form of birth control instead of practices such as abstinence or the use of prophylactics, even with spouses. There are a number of publicly available forms of birth control that do not compare with abortion. The opinions on abortion vary widely and it is an issue that is often vigorously debated. Often the reasoning behind a person's opinion about abortion comes from his/her moral compass. Some people's morality guides them to believe that abortion is wrong and some people's morality guides them to believe that applying laws to women's bodies (and not men's) is the morally upsetting aspect the issue. Abortion is a topic that might begin as a moral issues, then turns into a political issue, and then turns into a legal issue. Morals influence politics, and politics (and political views) influence laws. Abortion has returned to the forefront of critical issues of the 21st century. From state to state, and country to country, people are talking about and making laws about abortion. The paper engages the abortion debate as part of the project proposal, so as to question or determine the legality of abortion, ultimately advocating in favor for it.
Though the project will argue to make abortion legal, it will not ignore that there are other legal options besides abortion. Some changes can be made at the personal and cultural levels to render abortion moot, or at least less appealing. If practices such as reckless promiscuity and responsible family planning were increased, abortion would seem a less and less savory option for women. If more women and men were educated regarding rape and rape culture in environments such as work and

The rationale of the project state that abortion is a reality and there are women who want the have the choice for this service. The audience of the project consists of opponents of abortion, male and female. The audience also consists of those women who would or do abuse abortion instead of using condoms, birth control, and proactive thinking. For responsible women who want abortions, it would be safer for those women to get abortions if they were legal. On the other hand, abortion is not the only option for unwanted pregnancies. Making abortion legal or illegal does not engage greater issues that make women want to seek abortions, such as rape culture, reckless promiscuity/sexuality, and lack of education or access to other options.
There are many women who are not ready to be mothers, yet they do not choose abortion. They carry the babies to full term and put them into the custody of reputable adoption agencies. There is also the reality that some women sell their children on the black market. There are countless couples in the country and in the world that are not able to…

Abortion Debate With the growing awareness regarding gender roles and their due rights, the number of misunderstandings and misapprehensions has also considerably augmented. Abortion, by some is considered the right of a woman or of the parents of the unborn child, by some a crime and by many others a debatable and a highly controversial issue. However, it has been observed that the underlying aspects of the issue under consideration are
Abortion Aborting a living human fetus is morally wrong because taking one's life away from them is "one of the greatest losses one can suffer" (Marquis, 1989, p. 4) and causing that person to suffer that great a loss is a morally wrong thing to do. There is a plethora of material on abortion -- both pro-choice and anti-abortion -- that focuses on how to best determine what is a human,
Abortion means the early removal of a human fetus, whether impulsively as in a miscarriage or unnaturally caused by surgical or chemical abortion. As of today, the most general usage of this term abortion stands for the artificially caused abortion. A decision by Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton that authorizes abortion was passed over by the Supreme Court in 1973 that allowed abortion for any basis like medical,
Women who are otherwise responsible can become pregnant but out of no fault of their own. Keeping abortion legal ensures that all women have the right to determine their own destiny; no woman should be forced to carry a child who was actively trying to prevent pregnancy in the first place. Even if a woman was trying to become pregnant she might need to get an abortion in cases

The pro-choice group really does not have an argument other than the right to choose. It is, unfortunately, not much of a choice when it involves killing a living thing without reason. The political ramifications have reached such a point that the abortion is the only medical procedure that has no age restrictions (or require parental consent). Abortion also goes against the scientific laws of nature. In the creative scheme
