In this paper I will consider the arguments on abortion and investigate how, these debates are affecting people in different cultures. I will concede that some of these arguments do not mirror all of those who have a judgement on abortion but, rather a predisposed person. I will also argue that religious and cultural differences seem to play a role in these disputes and people’s decisions. While doing this I will discuss the difference between “pro-life and “pro-choice” as well as, the people who back each group. I will also set a hypothetical background for legal and illegal abortion. I will try to show other logical alternatives that can be taken to convince “pro-life” and “pro – choice” supporters that their ideas can coexist. As late as two decades ago abortion was not a prominent public issue. It seems that until the Roe v. Wade case that abortion was a less national decision. However, because of this case abortion has become a headliner for many discussions. The leading matter in these conversations boil down to the question “Should abortion be legal or illegal?” and followed by “Why or why not?” Groups have formed made by those who support either abortion or non-abortion. Those who are “pro-life” advocate the legal protection of human embryos or fetuses and those who are “pro-choice” advocate a woman’s to control her own body. If abortion was legal without the aside from laws, women would have to consider the pros and cons of this decision.

They may end up suffering the consequences as “pro – life” advocates say or they may see it as a burden lifted from their shoulders. They may be the national 10% that experience immediate complications of an abortion, such as depression, infection, and vomiting. Except they may die like Savita Halappanavar who asked for an abortion after miscarrying and was refused due to laws in Ireland. If they follow a religion such as Christianity, they may be ostracized and told they will go to Hell. On the other hand, if the women follow Judaism it may be seen as a decision that is not to be undertaken without considerable thought. Legalizing abortion could mean the surge of enraged “pro – life” supporters which could lead to a serious rebellion or people may just accept this law over time. If abortion was illegal with no tolerance towards someone’s case, then women would have to look into the pros and cons of this decision. …show more content…
The women may probably feel as if their option was taken away or they believe that life starts as conception. They could be a part of the 20% who think that under no circumstance that abortion should be legal. Unless they are the 40% that believe that abortion should occur under few circumstances, such as the mother’s health. Among these people could be those who consider legal abortion a botched procedure that’s killed over 300 women in the U.S. However, they may see a more detrimental option in unsafe abortion which causes the death of 220 per 100,000 women worldwide. Anti – abortionist may want physicians who perform abortion to be sentenced for manslaughter or they may discover that women could die if not treated properly by a professional. The topic of abortion appears so significant that religious and political stances have been taken. Organizations such as Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Federation (World), and the National Organization for Women (World) are seen as advocates for abortion rights. Contrasting these groups are the advocates for anti-abortion the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (UK), Pro Life Campaign (Ireland), and "Derecho a vivir" (right to life) (Spain). In politics Republicans (Conservatives) and Democrats (Liberals) are believed to hold opposite views on abortion. Most Democrats are considered “pro-choice” promoters who believe women should have the right to control their bodies and government should protect these rights. Most Republicans are considered “pro-life” promoters who believe that unborn babies, as living beings should have separate rights from those of the mother. In religion groups such as the Roman Catholic Church, Evangelical Christians, and the Jehovah’s Witnesses maybe seen as supporters of “pro-life” since they have no lenience for abortion. Catholics of Choice and Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice may be viewed as “pro-choice” supports because of their belief in safe reproduction. Between these “pro” religions are the Church of England, Islam, Hinduism, and the
