A Women’s Choice

Introduction:

Having a baby is a huge responsibility. There are times when the mother is faced with certain circumstances where she cannot or doesn’t want to keep the baby and believe that having an abortion is the best thing to do. Abortion is a topic that is debatable. The debate concerning abortion being legal has been continuing since it became legal in 1973. On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court, made a judgment to up hold a women’s right to decide whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. This decision has separated the country because it is only based on the fortitude of whether or not one has the need to feel to be alive. For example, some same say a fetus doesn’t feel or have a conscience, therefore a fetus isn’t alive. When it comes to abortion individuals are either pro-life or pro-choice. Pro-life are the individuals who believe that having an abortion is wrong. They are against abortions and want it to be illegal to have one. Pro-choice are the individuals who support the right to have an abortion. Abortions should remain legal because women should have the right to decide best for the baby and them.

.

1. Pro-Choice

The decision to have an abortion should remain the choice of the female who is expecting. It is not an easy decision to make because women have many different reasons for terminating a pregnancy. The most common reason is that they are not ready for the responsibility that comes with having a child. Some women come from an abusive relationship. There are women who have been victims of either raped or incest. There are also women who have a medical reason to terminate their pregnancy, such as the fetus will not growing properly; or when it is life threatening to the mother or fetus. It is medical safe to have an abortion and by keeping it legal might help prevent individuals from killing babies when they are born, which has happen in many country.

Pro-life

Pro-life feel women should have the baby or give up to someone. To them all life should be wanted and if not you must deal with the consequences of your actions. They show you pamphlets of dead fetus to women and make them feel ashamed for the choices they make. They want to take away a women’s choice to choose. If you took away a women’s right to choose, how many more deaths would happen: because things would go back to botch abortions and more women dying from these botch procedures this was the effect when abortions were illegal. If the law was to change to suit pro-life it would become responsible for the ungrounded abortions being performed.

Counter Thesis

The Pro-life group is against abortion for one main reason. They believe that a fetus is alive at the moment of conception. To them it is dangerous to terminate a pregnancy. They believe there are other ways to solve the problem. Adoption is another alternative to abortion, they are couples out there that can’t have a baby and would love to be parents. If you have too many abortions you can mess up your chances of conceiving at a later date. Many pro-life supporters are based on religion and that all gods are against it .These supporters say that a female who is having an abortion is committing a sin and an act of murder.

My Opinion

I believe women should have the right to terminate a pregnancy. There are many different reasons as to why I am pro-choice, for instant if a woman is in a violent relationship she should have a choice on deciding on whether to terminate her pregnancy instead of bring a child that can be harmed into this world. I am against pro-life because they use religion as their stand point; Pro-life would prefer that you give up the baby for adoption, but who is going to adopt the baby. In today society more and more people are adopting from other countries, because to adopt in the United States is so hard compare to other countries. We are beginning to over crowd the adoption agency. I feel pro-choice is correct on giving women a choice on personal decision that affect their life.

Conclusion:

Many individual have argued over the topic of Abortion. Some say that is morally wrong and believe that is something that should be stopped. Then, there are individuals who believe that it should be a women’s choice on whether or not they want to keep the child that they are expecting. These groups are known as Pro-life and Pro-choice. Both group when arguing state vital information as to what they believe in and why they believe in their choice.
