¶ … abortion being an option to end a pregnancy. The most sterling example of this being true are cases of rape and incest or when the life of the mother is in clear danger. However, abortion on demand for no other reason than delayed birth control is happening entirely too often and either needs to be banned outright or at least limited in some major way. The author of this report will explain the reasons for believing that to be the case and why any reader of this essay should do the same.
Reasons for Making Abortion Illegal
As intimated in the introduction, abortions in the case of the mother's health being in danger as well as pregnancies resulting from rape and incest should be left to the option of the pregnant person or their guardian, as applicable. However, abortions as a delayed form of birth control are completely unnecessarily and are happening entirely too often. To prove that point, one need look no further than New York City where four out of ten of ALL pregnancies end in abortion. With some racial groups, that figure is even higher (Matarese).
The overarching reason why abortion should generally be illegal is because it is treated pervasively as a proverbial "mulligan" for people that apparently cannot be bothered to use protection. While condoms do break and birth control pills do sometimes fail, that is exceedingly uncommon in the vast majority...
WIC, etc.) and adoption programs not to mention the foster child system in general would be much less burdened and would be able to function a lot better and more efficiently. Sexually active people must be made to understand that little forethought is necessary to prevent pregnancy the vast, vast majority of the time but failing to use that forethought can have dire consequences.
One need not get into the "baby killer" line of speech to make the point above. However, the author of this essay would make one point. If a fetus is a life when it's viable outside the womb, then it begs the question why the fetus is not a life just before that not to mention the fact that viability is about probability. It is not a firm line. If the "viability" line is x, there is not much saying that the child will definitely not live outside the womb. They likely will not…but they could. The author of this report will not get into the day after pill or even contraception that can be taken even several days after an…

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: Ethical and Political Issues of RU 486 Abortion is a totally unacceptable, cruel and unethical practice and should be considered illegal except under some special cases and medical circumstances that indicate a danger to the mother. Our judicial system must consider the ethical and moral aspects of abortion as an intrinsic part of the problem when approaching this social issue. Even from the practical prospective the abortion pill RU486 has
Abortion is a polarizing issue. The debate divides families as well as politicians. However, I am all too well aware of the fact that there are many individual stories that are far more complex than the black-and-white shades in which the issue is presented by the media. Take the example of the aunt of one of my best friends from high school. My friend's aunt became pregnant: this was joyous news
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
They argue that the fetus only has the potential of developing into a full-fledged human being; in the same way as an acorn has the potential of developing into an oak tree. In their view it is as ludicrous to call an embryo an independent human being as it would be to call an acorn an oak tree. (Lewis, 2000) Right of Woman Over Her Body The main "pro-choice" argument is
