Persuasive Essay On Abortion Pro Life

Today is the future that many have dreamt of. Despite all the advancements that have been made, this world still lacks key progression that is necessary to keep the human race moving forward. Choosing between the Iphone and the Galaxy becomes a must have opinion, while supporting the idea that abortion is sometimes necessary becomes too modern. Abortion is a very controversial topic, but will indirectly impact society as a whole. To increase women’s rights to her body, to decrease the emotional distress that rape puts on female victims, and to protect the health of not only the baby but also the mother, abortion should remain legal in California considering that children should not be brought up in a world where their needs are not provided for.

Women have absolute control over their own bodies and outside input from bystanders should not determine the life she has to live. Too many times are females expected to act a certain way or have certain expectations in their future, such as raising a family. The Children’s Defense Fund, from Washington, estimates that

due to pregnancy at least 40,000 teenage females drop out of school every year (Clark, 1991). It takes more than just the female to reproduce; therefore, girls should not have to be the ones sacrificing their education. With the option of abortion, young females can chose to wait to have a child when they are ready. Nancy Keenan makes a crucial point when she advocates that politicians should not have the right to decide on a matter that is private to each human (Jost, 2006). The values that a politician follows will not be the same in every house hold in America; thus, politicians should not have the right to force their ideas onto others. Without freedom to choose on personal matters, such as abortion, America fails in democracy and mirrors a form of dictatorship. The choice to abort lies with the female who is pregnant, especially in cases such as rape.
Female rape victims have enough emotional and physical distress and should not have to be obligated to distort their bodies any further for a pregnancy that they did not intend. Rape is one of the most barbaric injustice that one human can commit. A pregnancy arising from rape can be a constant reminder of the crime. Todd Akin lost his senate race stating that legitimate rape is difficult to find due to the fact that women have the ability to shut down their bodies to stop rape (Koons, 2013). It is outdated thinking such as this that tries to oppress women. Rape is not the victims fault and thus she should not have to carry the burden of this felony. Women are important and their opinions and emotions matter; society needs to respect the decisions that females have on abortion because it pertains to her personal health.
A pregnancy that puts the life of a mother or a child in danger should not have to be prolonged to the final stages of pregnancy.

After the passing of Roe v. Wade, the amount of deaths from abortions, mostly illegal, have almost disappeared (Grazer, 1997). Legal abortion reduces deaths of females and protects the health of the mother. Every female matters and should have the right to terminate dangerous pregnancies. An obstetrician-gynecologist, Richard Hausknecht, states that abortions have become safer than penicillin shots (Grazer, 1997). With the access to safe abortions, women no longer have to risk their life or their baby’s life. Abortions make it possible for parents to prevent cases where mothers have the fetus die inside the womb, further preventing infections that could occur from the dead fetus. Abortion provides the choice to stop pregnancies that result in a fetus that has extreme

deformities.
Parents need the right to determine if they want to continue a pregnancy in which the fetus has severe abnormalities. Parents should not have to give birth to a child knowing the child will only have a few weeks or even hours to survive outside of the womb. The Wall Street Journal poll shows that seventy percent of Americans support Roe v. Wade, while fifty-eight percent would like limits on the process (Koons, 2013). If fifty-eight percent had their way then many families would be emotionally torn in cases that abortion may be the better choice for the fetus. Nancy Keenan argues that previous court cases such as Planned Parenthood v. Casey kept the Roe v. Wade decision for reasons such as to respect intimate choices parents make on personal matters protected via the fourteenth amendment (Jost, 2006). Keenan has a very valid point; the citizens of America deserve the freedom to choose how and when they want to raise their family.
Parents should not be forced into bringing a child into a world that they cannot provide for, emotionally or financially. Financial stability is a major factor that insures the best life for a child to progress and grow; emotion stability is another important factor that ensures the best mental health for a child. Children should be raised with the feeling that they are unloved and unimportant. The option of abortion is a right that Americans should have because it is an important basic right. Roe v. Wade is not simply about abortion, but it is about the freedoms that the civilians in America possess (Jost, 2006). Consider abortion as the right for parents to decide the environment they want to raise their children in. Abortion protects both parents and children of financial hardships that they are not prepared for.
Abortion decreases the birth of children that cannot be provided for, increases the protection of the health of both mother and child, decreases the pain that rape victims face, and increases women’s rights. Even though, ultimately, the decision and the body belong to each woman, the government and society continue trying to control females. Abortion is not a yes or no concept. There are a multiple of different factors that affect each human, such that a simple no on abortion is not satisfactory enough. Each pregnancy is unique just as each female is unique, and it is time that the government started to respect women and their decisions about their body.
