Currently abortion is legal in America and many people believe that it should remain legal. They believe that a woman should be in control of her body and should have the right to choose if she wants a baby or not.

Abortion is choice that should be available to all women. Every woman should have the right to choose. Our government is crossing the line in trying to take away this right from women.Teen pregnancy is a big problem these days in our country. Many teen mothers drop out of high school and can't go back. Their entire lives have been changed. All their hopes and dreams of the future have been cut short. Some are even cut off by their families. They have to get a job to support themselves and their babies. There is also the factor of personal humiliation some of them feel. There are always people out there who are whispering and gossiping about them. Many mothers don't want to go through this

There are three points we wish to make about a human embryo. First, it is from the start distinct from any cell of the mother or of the father. This is clear because it is growing in its own distinct direction. Its growth is internally directed to its own survival and maturation. Second, the embryo is human: it has the genetic makeup characteristic of human beings. Third, and most importantly, the embryo is a complete or whole organism, though immature. The human

AbortionEvery year in America, over 1,000,000 murders never reach the courtroom. They never reach the courtroom because they are completely legal. Abortion continues to grow across the world. America and society in general has deemed this inhumane act to be okay. What people don't seem to realize is that people are killing an innocent human being. No matter what anyone believes, it is a human being, and the mother shouldn't have the right to kill it if she doesn't want it. She can do other things to give up the baby besides killing it.But what if the girl is raped? There are many positions on this section of abortion. Just because the girl is raped does not mean she should kill the child

Abortion Counter-Claim
Mr. Burris
The debate about abortions has began to seem like an unconcluded conflict of rights. The question that always comes into the debate is if women should really be given the right to an abortion. I guess the reason as to why this debate has became a big deal is because of the intentions of our current president. Trump is taking away products that can help prevent pregnancy/abortions.
I believe that women should be given the right to abortion. I take this side in the debate because in my opinion this also plays a part in a women having the right to control their body. When having a debate about on the topic of abortions people focus

Change The Law Of Abortion Each year, one million American teenagers are pregnant and eighty-five percent of these pregnancies are unintended. One and a half million each year are ended by abortion. Now it is time for the government to pass a law to make abortion illegal across the nation because it is a bad influence for the young people, innocent babies are being killed, and it will affect teenagers' lives when they get older.In 1973, the United States Supreme Court made a decision that women have a constitutional right to decide whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. Abortion became legal across the nation. This law has been in the United States for twenty-seven years now. It is

You have heard of the arguments and debates of whether abortion should be legal or not, but have you ever wondered exactly what is abortion? According to the American Heritage College Dictionary, abortion is the induced termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or fetus that is incapable of survival. Although that is the technical definition of abortion, not everyone agrees with this definition.

Statistics show that 46 million babies die from abortion all over the world, which means that approximately one baby is killed every two seconds (Craig). Today, abortion is a growing problem in America and throughout the world. Abortion is the killing of a baby inside the womb within the first 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Abortion laws started to surface in the 1820s in the United States.

Pro-life and Religious Views of AbortionThere have been many different views of abortion over the centuries in the various religious beliefs. As early as 380 AD, Christian leaders have condemned abortion. Abortion was only allowed when performed in the early stages of pregnancy. Abortion was damned however if the fetus had taken on the shape of human form and considered to have a spirit. In 1869 Pope Pius IX created a distinction between what was called fetus animatus and fetus inanimatus. In 1917 to 1983 Can law was changed to refer to the embryo as the fetus. The church to this day has a consequence for abortion during any phase of pregnancy which is

Rethinking Abortion Advocacy
written by Coleman Hugh
Last Tuesday, the Governor of Alabama signed the most restrictive anti-abortion bill in America
into law. The new law bans abortions even in the case of rape and makes performing an abortion
a Class A felony, punishable by up to 99 years in prison. Despite the low probability of this law
going into effect, it has provoked a slew of commentary from both sides of the aisle. To call it
“commentary,” however, suggests that people are engaging in thoughtful attempts to persuade
one another. In reality, the abortion debate has had all the intellectual rigor and emotional
maturity of a pissing contest.

"The loss of one's life is one of the greatest losses one can suffer. The loss of one's life deprives one of all the experiences, activities, projects, and enjoyments that would otherwise have constituted one's future" (Don Marquis). Life is defined as a form of existence that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms or lifeless matter in the ability to carry on metabolism, respond to stimuli, reproduce and grow. In today's society one of the ongoing questions is when is it right to take the life of another being, more specifically an unborn child. Abortion is mentally and physically damaging for a woman and her fetus. It should not be legal for three reasons. The three reasons
