Abortion Vs Pro Life

Improved Essays
Grab the nearest dictionary that you can find and search for the word life. You’ll most likely see it defined as ‘the period between the birth and death of a living thing’. This makes sense but when can something be defined as “birthed” or “alive”. This bring about the issue of abortion. Over the years, many people debate over whether or not abortion should be allowed or not. Based on their points of views they are categorized as either “pro-life” or “pro-choice”. These two groups’ main points of arguments are when a life is actually a life, religion against a secular government, and the safety of abortion. Many people who are pro-life believe that “an immortal soul is implanted at the moment of conception” and that defines a personhood (Head

    Pro-Life Vs Pro Life

    The social commentary on women’s reproductive health is full of contradictions. As our readings point out, even using pro-life vs. pro-choice rhetoric doesn’t really allow women their inherent rights to their bodies (RWL 53). Contradictions are present when pro-life advocates are in favor of the death penalty and not in favor abortion even when the mother’s life is at risk, implying one life more valuable than the other. Though many feel pro-life advocates are determining whose life is more valuable, it’s important to remember that they believe they are protecting the most innocent form of life. Pro-life advocates often feel like they are giving a voice to human beings that will never have the chance to defend themselves, never did anything…

    On the opposing side, Pro Life, many believe that life begins at conception and terminating a pregnancy, no matter what stage, is murder. Those who believe in Pro Life believe that all human life, born or unborn, are due the same consideration and protection. Those in favor of Pro Life subscribe to the theory that abortions cause psychological damage to the mother. This can lead to long term mental health issues for the would-be mother.…

    One side is known as “Pro-Life”, the other is known as “Pro-Choice”. “Pro-Life” supporters are typically conservatives who believe that abortion is wrong and should be illegal, some within the group even go as far as calling abortion the “murder of an innocent unborn child”. “Pro-Choice” supporters are typically liberals who argue that a pregnant individual has the right to choose abortion. They believe that it is the body, believe that abortion is not murder and cannot be illegal because they believe that a fetus is “not yet a fully developed living human being therefore it has no…

    ‘’It is just a blob of tissue, not a baby” (“Pro Life Vs Pro Choice: An Introduction to the Debate’’). Because most abortions are done with in the first trimester or slightly after, it is hard to consider it as killing a living, breathing human being. ‘’Personhood begins after a fetus is able to survive outside of the womb or after birth, not at conception’’ (“Should Abortion Be Legal?”). Out of the seven characteristics of life, five cannot be demonstrated by a fetus within the first trimester if it was to be removed from the womb of the mother. These characterizes of life are as follows: all living things grow, all living things reproduce, all living things have the ability to adapt to their environments, all living things use energy, and all living things have the ability to respond to different stimuli introduced into their environment (“The seven characteristics of life”).…

    A theory about religion is that life starts at conception. People with other beliefs should not be forced to abide by this certain theory. Legal abortion today states that human life starts at birth, but when a baby is born, it grows and develops into a teenager, then a mature adult, until it finally becomes old and dies. Humans are made to develop and change, so a human becomes a human during conception.…

    They believe that "life begins at conception, so unborn babies are human beings with a right to life" (procon.org). Pro life activists suggest other options if you are incapable of raising a child on your own. "Adoption is clearly a viable alternative that does not punish the child for existing" (kialo.com). They fight for all abortions to be illegal in the United States in hopes to protect the innocent. "States may regulate abortions so as to protect the health of the mother and the life of the fetus, and may outlaw abortions of "viable" fetuses."…

    Abortion has been a great topic of debate for many years, both in terms of law/rights and in morality/religion. The constant debate has split people into two sides: Pro-Choice and Pro-Life. Those who are Pro-Choice believe that women have a right to decide the fate of their body, health, and life. They personally may not get an abortion, but they feel that it is still the right of the mother to choose. Abortion prevents unsafe pregnancies, protects women 's right to choose, liberates women from patriarchal control over women 's sexual and reproductive lives, and allows the mother to choose whether, when, and how often to have a child.…

    First off, let’s define the word murder. Murder is defined as the unlawful premeditated killing of one person by another person. So already we run into two issues, first off, murder is unlawful and abortion is not. Second, is the assumption that a fetus or an embryo is legally a person, and when you make that assumption, things begin to get really dicey.…

    There has been a long existing debate of “Pro-Life” versus “Pro-Choice” about whether or not women should be able to abort a child. Many people being Pro-Choice will use the argument that the fetus isn 't a living person, and rather that it is the woman’s body; therefore the woman’s choice. There are other options women have such as adoption: waiting until the baby is born and providing the child a well-suited family to properly care for them. I believe any way you can avoid aborting a child is better than abortion because you give the child a chance for life. An unborn child in the womb contains all of the characteristics for it to be considered living, proving abortion is morally and scientifically wrong.…
