My Body: An Argument For Abortion

Analysis Perhaps the most popular argument made against abortion is that the fetus is a person. Based on this assertion, the fetus has a moral right to life. The problem that Thomson identifies is that most of the anti-abortionist and pro-life supporters rely solely on this aspect for their argument and do not rationalize any other matter.

Your body, your choice. An abortion is an incredibly personal decision that a woman may need to make for herself.   It is not someone anyone else should get to determine. Not giving her that option takes away her right to choose what's best for her and her body. With certain states banning abortion, it is practically controlling and choosing what a woman should do with her body.

Upon conception an individual is created, this individual has the right to life and should be protected. Dr. Maureen Condic tells us that the most primitive responses to pain in the spinal cord are developed by eight weeks gestation and that it is a universal agreement that pain is detected by the fetus in the first trimester. Dr. Bernard Nathanson stated that when an abortion is performed on a 12 week old fetus, “we see (on an ultrasound machine) the child’s mouth open in a silent scream.” It is immoral to kill a child for convenience. People are having sex and should know that even with using a form of contraceptive there will be a risk of pregnancy.

Abortion is full of excuses, going against God’s will, and murder. America should reconsider the laws and regulations of the countries soon to be mothers. Because abortion is a deliberate termination of a human life, women should not legally have the option to choose one. Making excuses for reasons a mother can kill her baby is wrong. For example, a mother having a baby she doesn’t want is no excuse to end a life.

A second reason why abortion is wrong is because it deprives the fetus from his future. When we decide to kill a fetus then we are taking away from him a future like ours. The argument is as follows : (1) it is impermissible to kill humans, who if lived, would have a future like ours, (2) if abortion is not done, the fetus would have future as we do have, (3) so it is wrong to kill the fetus (4) therefore abortion is impermissible. A similar argument was given by Don Marquis in his article “Why Abortion is Immoral”. He stated that what makes killing wrong is neither the effect on the murder, nor the effect on the victim’s relatives or friends, but the effect is on the victim himself.

The termination of pregnancy by removing a fetus or embryo from the womb before it can survive on its own is called abortion.

Abortion should be illegal because it causes harm to society, women and millions of unborn children around the country. Taking the life from the most innocent human beings on earth, before they could even make the decision for themselves, is the most cruel and inhumane action to commit.
