Abortion: Population Control
Abortion

America stands for freedom and that's what the people of the United States of America deserve. Regarding the issue of abortion, there is no other option than Pro-choice. The extremely controversial issue of abortion should not even be an issue. Americans have freedom to make there own decisions regarding there life and the life of there own unborn fetus. The reason this issue is so back and forth is because it wasn't around when the constitution was formed, saying nothing about abortion because it didn't exist. Abortion is legal and should remain legal as long as we live in a free society where we can make our own choices.

It would be wrong to rob Americans of there freedom to make there own decision in regarding abortion. In a recent case, Amanda Miller 17, was raped by a thirty-three year old Hispanic man. Miller was traumatized and later found out that the rape caused her to be pregnant. Should she be forced to have the baby? The answer is defiantly not. She was brutally raped and got pregnant against her will but some of society is still telling her to take on the responsibility of having the baby. Every time Miller would look at her baby she would be reminded of what had happened to her. Abortion should be legal to help kids like Amanda Miller. Thanks to abortion being legal Amanda was able to have the abortion stay in school and not have to quit the swim team, ASB and all of her friends.

Abortion should also be legal on a financial term. Thousands of babies today are born into poverty. Having a baby becomes a large financial burden on any family. Some couples that are not financially stable that have a baby, ruin both their lives and the life of the baby. Its not fair for the child that is born into a torn family or a family that cannot afford to put a healthy diet on the table. If abortion was illegal there would be thousands of more families that would be in financial debt and not be able to support a child. A family

    The United States has prided itself on making “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” stated in its Declaration of Independence as accessible for its citizens as possible. Recently, the country has tried both politically and socially to reduce the exclusion and discrimination of any and all groups of people from society as evidenced by topics such as gay marriage, equal pay for women and the frequently debated topic concerning the constitutionality of abortion. The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution states, “no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States” (US Const. Amend. XIV). Many pro-choice arguments defend that the choice of abortion is a right of women…

    "One in four people in our generation are not living because they were killed before they were born" ("Abortion Arguments").

    Abortion should be legal for one reason only - Making it illegal would cause more harm than good. People would continue having abortions, but it would be yet another massive government police state problem, like the alcohol prohibition, or any other prohibition the government has tried to force on people. Perhaps if there were, as there someday may be, real alternatives to abortion. And I don't mean adoption. That seems reasonable to a lot of people, but there…

    As Lauren Enrquez stated, “Women face hurdles in pregnancy.” Every pregnant woman has a different situation. Not being financially stable, being a rape victim, or the possibility of having a baby with a disorder are all drastically different situations that would lead to an abortion. I believe these women of different backgrounds should have affordable resources. Conversely, one of the resources can be abortion. However, it is important to note that accessible and proper assistance will play a big factor. Women need to be in an environment that supports and empowers them through whatever decision they choose to make. The problem in America today is people are so quick to choose pro-life, but they fail to help those they forced to keep a baby. Consequently, if we close abortion clinics then women will be forced to partaking in an unsafe…

    A couple decades ago, when abortion was illegal, thousands of women died because they did not want to bear an infant and attempted to terminate the child 's life by themselves or with an unprofessional approach. After 1973 's Supreme Court decision, which allowed women to have the choice to abortion, thousands of women were saved.Imagine you have a balance beam. On one side you have the physical life of an infant and on the other you have the mental and emotional life of a mother and her unwanted child. Which side can we, as civil humans, claim as more valuable? Up to this current day, abortion has become an exigent issue that faces everyone nationwide. As a moral and ethical issue, abortion is a dilemma for society. Abortion was illegal before the 1973 Supreme Court decision in the trial of Roe v. Wade, but now that abortion is legitimate, women have the freedom and the choice to live their life the way they want to. Albeit, abortion is criticized by religious sects in America and some of the public, the practice of abortion should remain legal in the U.S. because it allows a woman to choose her destiny and prevents unwanted children. Abortion can save thousands of lives of women and thus, should remain legal in the United States.…

    According to statistics provided by Guttmacher institute, “there were approximately 1.05 million abortions in the United States in 2012 alone” (Abortion Counters 4). To many, that might be just a number and it does not necessarily mean anything, but lets just take some time to think about how tremendously that number actually is. The image of 1.05 million lifeless, innocent premature babies is horrific, and many do not realize how sick and wrong it is. That number is more than just a statistic but it is the amount of lives that were ended way to early. As someone who stands for pro-life, aborting a baby is not something that should be an option so easily for women. Women nor anybody else should have the authority to end a child’s life prematurely.…

    There are hundreds of social problems in the USA today and one of the most complicated is abortion. Abortion is so complicated because it affects a woman’s body, causing it to be a very personal and emotional issue, but at the same time because it is affecting a future American citizen, it becomes a problem that America as a society has to deal with. This causes America to be split into two sides, one side claiming that it should be the woman’s choice since they think it affects the woman alone and the other side claiming that it affects society as a whole and can’t be left to the woman alone to decide. The later position would seem to be the accurate claim considering the fact that over 50 million babies have been aborted in America since…

    Abortion rebuttal

    America is a country of freedom, a country where people can make their own choices. Many people who are pro-choice believe that women should be given the freedom to choose, and by doing so, seem to align themselves with American ideals of freedom. But they are wrong. This is why many have decided to shun pro life advocates. Another reason, is that no one is willing to compromise on vague definitions of terms used in abortion acts. For example, the Medical Merriam-Webster Online dictionary defines viability as "The quality or state of being viable: the ability to live, grow, and develop". A question that has never been able to be answer with certainty is ' when does the fetus become viable?' The U.S. is the only major country who has no standard definition of…

    First and foremost, abortion allows a woman the right to her own body. Some say that abortion should not be used as a form of contraception, but birth control fails daily. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 6% of all birth controls fail each year. Women on birth control tend to disregard the chance of getting pregnant since the percentage is so low, therefore, the only protection they choose to utilize is the birth control. Women should remain to have the option to abort an undesired fetus. Along with contraception issues, there are other factors to reason with to keep abortion legal.…

    In addition, abortion murders babies with amazing potential without giving them the gift of life and sharing their great purpose with the world. If the baby is aborted, one would never knows if they were to kill the baby that was destined to find the cure for Cancer. Abortion needs to be illegalized because it breaks our founding father’s laws, it is a slaughter of peace and innocence, and it induces unprepared people to engage in sexual activity by giving them the option to “redo” their…
