pros life:


 * 1) Since life begins at conception, abortion is akin to murder as it is the act of taking human life. Abortion is in direct defiance of the commonly accepted idea of the sanctity of human life.
 * 2) Those who choose abortions are often minors or young women with insufficient life experience to understand fully what they are doing. Many have lifelong regrets afterwards
 * 3) Abortion should not be used as another form of contraception.
 * 4) For women who demand complete control of their body, control should include preventing the risk of unwanted pregnancy through the responsible use of contraception or, if that is not possible, through [|abstinence].
 * 5) In the instance of rape and incest, proper medical care can ensure that a woman will not get pregnant. Abortion punishes the unborn child who committed no crime; instead, it is the perpetrator who should be punished.

pro choice:


 * 1) In the case of rape or incest, forcing a woman made pregnant by this violent act would cause further psychological harm to the victim. Often a woman is too afraid to speak up or is unaware she is pregnant, thus the morning after pill is ineffective in these situations.
 * 2) Teenagers who become mothers have grim prospects for the future. They are much more likely to leave of school; receive inadequate prenatal care; rely on public assistance to raise a child; develop health problems; or end up divorced.
 * 3) Adoption is not an alternative to abortion, because it remains the woman's choice whether or not to give her child up for adoption. Statistics show that very few women who give birth choose to give up their babies - less than 3% of white unmarried women and less than 2% of black unmarried women.
 * 4) The ability of a woman to have control of her body is critical to civil rights. Take away her reproductive choice and you step onto a slippery slope. If the government can force a woman to continue a pregnancy, what about forcing a woman to use contraception or undergo sterilization?
 * 5) In the case of rape or incest, forcing a woman made pregnant by this violent act would cause further psychological harm to the victim. Often a woman is too afraid to speak up or is unaware she is pregnant, thus the morning after pill is ineffective in these situations.

Abortion By: Samantha Moore Abortion, many people have their own feeling, theory’s and many more thoughts about abortion that causes lot of anger to build up in society. In society people think you should agree to whatever is popular at that point in time, which can make things a lot worse in cretin situatuations. But, not me. I believe that abortion is wrong. I believe that it is morally wrong, it has horrible side effects that can cause future health effects which can alter you future ability to have kids, also there are many other options beside abortion. Abortion is legalized in all fifty states in the United States, since 1973 during the Roe vs. Wade case.

Morals are a big deal when it comes to abortion. It really is one of the big key points in every argument known to man about abortion. Even though the baby hasn’t been born yet it is still a baby. Before, you can even find out if you’re pregnant of not the baby’s heart is already beating. Know you may have a counterclaim which most people do of somewhere along the lines of “the baby is not actually considered a baby until after birth.” But in reality it is still a baby, it’s just a forming baby. The baby will soon have hands, feet, nose, mouth, hail, lungs, etc, which when all formed is a tiny human being known as a baby.

Another, point would be the health side effects of abortion. When you go to get an abortion weeks later you still bleed heavily and have lots of pains that are kind of like cramps, depending on how far along you are. Surgical abortion removes most of the underline lining manually, which can cause horrible infections. It weakens the cervix which will leave scar tissue that can make it hard as much as to impossible to have kids In the future due to getting an abortion. Also, some pregnancy’s’ can be life dangerous or threatening and some may consider abortions for that reason. But, there are ways that you don’t have to get an abortion because of that effect. For example, there are some medication that you can be prescribed, or you can go far enough along in the pregnancy that it won’t hurt the child. Another example is my little cousin named skyler his mom had preeclampsia and she couldn’t go all through the nine months into the pregnancy but if you have faith anything is possible.

My last and final point is there are ALWAYS other options besides abortion. If you don’t want to have the stress of caring for a kids or even have anything to do with the child there are always people who are good hearted and kind who would want children but unable to have any of their own, this could be a form of adoption. Adoption is a very good option, you could have open adoption, which you can give the baby up but still have contacts with the child, picture, etc. Or you could have closed adoption, which is where you give the baby up for adoption and never contact the child or have anything to do with it. The good thing about adoption is you can choose who the Childs parents would be and try to give them the life that you would like them to have or the life that you couldn’t give them.

Abortion is wrong in so many ways. It’s not only a selfish act, but it could also hurt you in with your health or you ability to have kids in the future. But there are other options beside abortion like adoption which doesn’t have any bad health effects or your ability to have kids in the future. If you think about it everyone is really worried about how people will react because you find out you are pregnant, don’t have your life together, or you don’t have the money, etc. so in reality if people would quite worrying about what society will think there wouldn’t be the rate of abortion would go down more than half of what it is now.
