Pros And Cons Of Abortion Protests

Are you pro-choice, or are you pro-life? These are the two common groups of abortion protests. Abortion has been a major issue in society for decade, even before the Roe v. Wade Act. Congress and the government have struggled to find a balance between the two. They are not many restrictions, to the protests, because of our natural human rights. I think there should be more restrictions on abortion, and protests. There are two stances to consider, when talking about abortion. You have the pro-life group and then you have the other group, pro-choice. The people who are pro-life feel that having an abortion is just like killing a person. They feel that abortion is the murder of a baby, the murder of a human. Now, if you’re pro-choice, you feel that no matter the situation it’s up to the women to make the decision. In the end, it’s up to what you think, and believe in. About 14,000 women get abortions due to trauma of rape or incest. According to the Department of Justice there are about 300,000 rapes every year, and 54% of the rapes are not reported. This is something to think about when evaluating abortion. You have to think about what you would do if you were in a situation like this. If you were raped would you want to look at the baby and be reminded of that moment in your life, or would you just want to put it all behind you? This is what many pro-choice people think about; this is where I feel that the person who has the trauma to deal with should be the one to choose. Many people who are pro-life will argue that abortions cause women to be more depressed, rather than actually having the baby. However doctors say that even if the woman has the baby, she will still be depressed. They say this happens 9 times out of 10 because the women are influenced by family and friends. The women will go with what others say because she is stressed as it is, she doesn’t know if she wants the baby or doesn’t want the baby. Many people who are pro-life will also argue that most women who have an abortion will experience, complications. This is not a myth; however they do exaggerate with “the most”, and studies show that only 1% of women will undergo complications. Abortion wasn’t always legal; women and doctors would get thrown into jail for having or performing an abortion, but due to the roe v. wade act, abortion became legal. Before the Roe V. Wade Act, the only way to have an abortion was by doctor consent. The only way the doctors could give that consent was if and only if the mother was in danger. In the Constitution it states that all men were created equal, and that all men have a right to privacy. Going along the lines of our right to privacy, by letting the women chose, we follow the rights of every citizen. This is what the Roe V. Wade Act was all about; it was about letting the women have their rights to decide. There are about nine different ways to have an abortion, there are even more risks of having an abortion. You can have an abortion by having a Dilation & Curettage (D&C), Dilation and Evacuation (D&E), Dilation and Extraction (D&X or …show more content…
If you are a republican you are probably leaning more towards the prolife spectrum. This is because of their party platform. In their party platform it brings up four main points about abortion that should be fought for. The republicans are prolife, and oppose the Roe v. Wade Act; they also strictly follow the fourteenth amendment. Most republicans are strictly prolife, however depending on the type of situation some republicans can see different views. The Democratic Party however has completely views on abortion. They are all for the Roe v. Wade Act, and they are prochoice, however like the republicans some can go either way depending on the situation. Even though the parties may have different views, they can have similar ones as well.
