In the history of modern societies dilemma over defense of life and the legalization of abortion is a topic that has generated extensive controversy. In many parts of the world for several decades, there have been significant advances. The legalization of abortion is a nonviable process because bring big consequences on the health of the mother, not would respect the right to life and finally still no scientific evidence to prove the existence of life in the embryo.
According to the World Health Organization induced abortion is “the termination of pregnancy before the fetus is capable of extrauterine life, due to an intervention made expressly for this purpose” (WHO). The main causes of this practice are caused by little or no information about induced abortion, its effects and consequences, lack of support, pressure from the family, peer pressure, lack of access to contraceptive methods, the ineffective use of contraceptive methods, sexual violation, lack of funds to keep the newborn, etc.

Abortion is the termination of a human pregnancy that does not end in birth of a child. There are two types of abortion-medical abortion and surgical abortion. Medical abortion can be done before 49 days of pregnancy by using pharmaceutical drugs. Surgical abortion takes place by using surgical instruments between 6-14 weeks of pregnancy. Both methods are safe. It depends on the size of fetus and week of pregnancy. An abortion, which is the removal of a fetus from a woman’s body, should be allowed because of women’ s freedom, life opportunities and victim protection.
Due to the conflict of opinions from both sides, it is virtually impossible to solve the issue of abortion. On one hand, advocates believe that all humans should have the right to live regardless of the mother’s choice. On the other hand, the mothers’ rights are put into consideration because her body will forever be changed. All anyone can do is try to comprehend all aspects of this issue so that if put in such situation they can make an educated and thoughtful decision for themselves.
The controversy over abortion has been going on for years. This movie portrays how the debate has changed over the decades in a befitting manner. It is about three different women who come upon having to make the choice of terminating their pregnancies. The setting takes place in the same house during the course of 40 years where a different women deals with the option of aborting her fetus.

In Closing, abortion needs to be reversed and made illegal with the upmost urgency. Approximately 55,772,015 young and promising lives were unjustly ended between now and 1973. These young lives were on the path to flourishing into beautiful people and now because of America’s abortion laws, never got to even see the light of day. If you think you are responsible enough to have sex then you better realize and comprehend the responsibility that comes with it. Simply understand that you are engaging in the act of creating new life. So if by “accident” you get pregnant, don’t just go and kill a helpless and innocent human being, get over your selfish self and own up to your new responsibilities as a parent.
The 1973 Supreme Court decision in the case of Roe vs. Wade is the foundation for our current abortion policy as well as the cause of so much controversy today. Though always an issue, nothing prior can compare to the momentum that it has now. In the span of 30 years since the ruling, the combination of science, morals and religion have spun off numerous sub-issues to the effect that people have been left either aligned to one side of the argument, or caught in the middle, unable to choose. The key issue at hand is whether the 1973 ruling of Roe vs. Wade should be upheld or should all abortions be illegal. The issue is so divisive because abortion brings up closely related but unresolved moral issues, and tries to bring a legal answer to them. The consequences would be monumental for those who have a stake in a resulting decision. Women’s rights, first and foremost, would be affected because many women in the pro-choice movement believe this decision is a reflection of the amount of power the government should have over the individual, women in particular. They would take the results as a major setback in the women’s rights movement should abortion become illegal. Pro-life groups see this as a moral debate over life, with the elimination of abortion meaning that the fetus has been recognized as a living human being with rights like any other. Religious advocates, particularly those siding with the pro-life movement see the attitude towards abortion as a reflection of sexual permissiveness in the American people. As for the American people themselves, while having strong feelings about abortion, are not ready or willing to get rid of it. Though both sides push for common things like better sex education for th...
Abortion can be said to be an induced process or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, result in, or caused by, its death. Sometimes this can occur spontaneously as a miscarriage. It can also be artificially induced through chemical, surgical or other means. This is induced termination or miscarriage occurs before the twenty weeks of gestation. The induced termination has been a source of debate as well as controversy throughout the history of mankind. This means the position on abortion depends on two factors which include ones personal belief on the morality of induced abortion. The other factor is the government’s limit of authority.
Abortion now a days has been increasing over the world. This is caused by economic and social factors. What is abortion? Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy. This is the removal of a fetus before it’s viable. This process is done before the fetus is 25 weeks old. It can be spontaneous or abortion induced. Abortion is legal in developing countries, but in most developing countries do not permit abortion. Further more, abortion causes over 70,000 maternal deaths world wide. Abortion in the past was done with crude tools like sharpened and cause physical trauma. Now since there are new medical advances abortion is now done with medication or surgical procedures. Developing and undeveloped countries haven’t legalized abortion. Both mother and child birth complications has been one of the major causes of deaths over the world. Since the advances of the 21st century maternal death has decreased. This is causes by family planning and also contraceptives.
Abortion is the termination of an unwanted pregnancy by loss of or destruction of an egg, embryo or fetus before birth. The term of abortion is used to define the termination of a pregnancy before the fetus attains capacity for life outside the uterus. In all societies, women have for many reasons, sought to terminate pregnancies. When a woman tries to self-induce an abortion it can cause serious physical risk to a woman. Today, abortions in the early weeks of a pregnancy, by a trained practitioner and under proper conditions, can be safe medical procedure. (Americana, 1)
It is considered by World Health Organization that one fourth of all the progenies in the world terminate in induced abortion. More precisely, the number of induced abortion is nearly 50 million every year（Berer, M., 2000 ）. Induced abortion means “abortion brought on deliberately by drugs or mechanical means” (Stedman, T. L.，2008). It can be defined as an abortion that is preceded initiatively, which is opposite to spontaneous abortion. According to World HeaWHO
With this high count of deaths, you would think people would just let their child live rather then terminating their baby’s life as well as their own. Induced abortions can include herbs, sharpened tools, traditional methods and even physical trauma. If people have to go through pain and a high expense to just erase their mistake, they should simply be safe with their partner and save themselves the trouble.
However after long time, abortion remains question under discussions. There are strong arguments both for and against abortion. Therapeutic abortion that is one of the most disputable topic in modern society is evident capable of generating intense passions, that lead to a great number of other social issues. In recent decades, on a global scale there is increasing pressure for changes in abortion which could lead to a various consequences.
In conclusion, a choice needs to be available to prevent the birth of unwanted children, to avoid damage to the child as well as the well-being of women. Preservation of life seems to be a slogan for anti-abortionists. If we turn our backs on women now, it would bring more deaths and illegal and self-induced abortions. Anti-abortionists do not know what it is like to have to make the decision of having an abortion; they have not experienced the situation that some women had to go through. There are arguments on both sides and judgment against people needs to be stopped. Abortion should remain legal,
These are just some of the many more effects women have. Like in the website “Hope After Abortion” describes us all about what a woman goes through after an abortion. This can scar a women for life and cause psychological damage. Also if a women got pregnant she should accept the responsibility of having the baby and raising it. Proven by procon.org abortion hurts the fetus when doing the procedure. The way the procedure is done is in two ways. The first one would be the suction abortion and the other one would be D&E ( dilation and evacuation). In this two way the fetus is pulled and sucked down removing the fetus from the woman’s
An American poet, Katha Pollitt, once said,“ Abortion is part of being a mother and caring of children, because part of caring for children is knowing when it’s not a good idea to bring them into the world.” Knowing that a child is not going to make out in society today is more harmful then aborting a fetus that is not developed. Abortion is not something women should be ashamed about nor should they be judged by their choices they make. Not only are women being discriminated in America for their choice in having an abortion but also in other countries around the world. The way society, religion, politics, and education all portrays fornication abortion should be universally legal. Society makes females who have an abortion the
Through every choice in life, there is a decision that must follow. Abortion is a woman’s individual choice; therefore, must be a legal part in todays society. Individual rights have an outstanding role in the controversial topic, on whether abortion should become legal in the United States . The individual rights for abortion show rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. As well, women should be able to have the choice to choose to have an abortion for several important reasons. The right to make these decisions should lie in the hands of the “mother” to make decisions concerning their own to make decisions concerning their own bodies. In addition, women should be given the choice to have an abortion if they are too young and unable to take care their child financially or emotionally. Additionally, the right to have an abortion is if the pregnancy negatively affects the woman's or the baby's health. Without abortions as a choice for the “mother” to resort to while she is going through hardship on deciding whether to keep the baby or not, the endless possibilities could negatively influence the mother to put her and the baby in a dangerous positions.
