Paper Abstract: This is a persuasive and argumentative paper that argues against legalized abortion. It addresses the major arguments of abortionists and explains the fallacies inherent in them and then provides an analysis and conclusion explaining why abortion is murder and how it destroys the fabric of society. Paper Introduction: AbortionIntroduction Ever since Roe v Wade legalized abortion in the American publichas grown increasingly polarized on the issue of abortion This has beendue in part to the fact that the political left and right wings have takenopposing sides on the issue thus making what is really an ethical issue apolitical football Once an issue becomes political distortion isinevitable and this has certainly been the case with abortion The pro-abortion rhetoric attempts to use unrelated issues as smokescreens to hidethe real issue of Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below. However, the text is somewhat scrambled. We want to give you as much information as we possibly can about our papers and essays, but we cannot give them away for free. In the text below you will find that while disordered, many of the phrases are essentially intact. From this text you will be able to get a solid sense of the writing style, the concepts addressed, and the sources used in the research paper. Abortion is an act of violence, and women have no more right toperpetrate such violence on a defenseless unborn baby than men do on women. Abortion affects the fetus's rights, not thewoman's. "Abortion Is a Selfish Choice." Opposing Viewpoints: Abortion. When another life became involved-that ofthe fetus-the issue stopped being just about her body and became about thefetus's life. Dr. Bernard Nathanson admits that the figure usually givenfor the number of back-alley abortion deaths per year ranged from 5, to1 , , but confesses, "I knew the figures were totally false, and Isuppose that others did too if they stopped to think of it. Although abortionists argue that abortion is different from murder byvirtue of the fact that the fetus would be unable to sustain life outsidethe womb at its early stage, most Americans are likely aware that abortionis murder and that it is morally and ethically reprehensible.Nevertheless, efforts to combat abortion have fallen upon a small minority,largely Christians, while the rest of the country sits back and doesnothing. The "fetus is not a baby" argument actually convinced many pro-abortion advocates that infanticide within the right timeframe was morallyacceptable and was not murder, and this was undoubtedly the impetus thatled abortionists to accept a new type of abortion that did cross the fetus-baby timeline-partial birth abortion. This has beendue in part to the fact that the political left and right wings have takenopposing sides on the issue, thus making what is really an ethical issue apolitical football. The argument wasmerely an attempt to evade the "infanticide" label by contending that it isokay to kill a baby in the womb as long as it is done early enough. Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center. Moreover, "Abortion policy contains embedded culturalassumptions, values and attitudes that have wide repercussions for the waywe collectively treat all human life" ("Abortion Violates the UnbornChild's Right to Life"). That father is likely to put other women into thesame trouble" (Mother Teresa). Attempting to segregate the unconscionable violence against an unbornchild from its repercussions throughout our society is what has enabledabortion advocates to reason in abstract terms that fail to address themultiplied harms sustained by society, the family, and individuals becauseof abortion. Mathewes-Green, Frederica. Centers for Disease Control, 1972statistics show only 39 deaths from illegal abortion (Forsythe).Interestingly, there were 27 deaths from legal abortion (Forsythe). News of botched back-alley abortions that cost young women theirlives were probably the most salient reason that legalization of abortioncame about; people believed that women would get illegal abortions if theycould not abort legally, and that this would result in tens of thousands oftragic deaths. Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center. Abortion should not be legal, justas murder should not be legal, and the sooner the American public isapprised of the real cost of abortion in human lives and societalstability, the sooner we can get to the business of repairing the profounddamage to individuals and the fabric of our society that has already beendone by legalized abortion. Apollo Library. In the same waythat the human rights issues of rape, slavery, genital mutilation and thelike pertain to women, the human rights issue of abortion pertains tobabies. Gale. >States, The Society of Jesus in the United. Moreover, the woman's engaging in sex, choosing not to usecontraception and/or using contraception that happened to fail, are allchoices that she made while in control of her body. Once an issue becomes political, distortion isinevitable, and this has certainly been the case with abortion. Gale. Detroit: Greenhaven Press, 2 7. AbortionIntroduction Ever since Roe v. Under the banner of such puzzling arguments as "A womanhas the right to control her own body" and "A fetus is not a baby," pro-abortion advocates have increasingly sought to obscure the fact thatwillful abortion of a baby is infanticide. Legalizing abortion does not protect women from abortion-related deaths. Christine Watkins. Mother Teresa. Ed. But in the'morality' of our revolution, it was a useful figure, widely accepted, sowhy go out of our way to correct it with honest statistics?" (Forsythe).In actuality, according to the U.S. It is murder. The significant dangers inherent in even legalized abortion forcedabortion advocates to shift their rhetoric from protection of the mother'shealth to arguments that would prompt people to jump on the pro-abortionbandwagon without examining the arguments too closely. Moreover, the effects of abortion uponsociety are decidedly deleterious. Mathewes-Green states, "if I hadseen someone doing this to a kitten I would have been horrified," yetsomehow the American public has accepted the idea that what is unacceptablebehavior toward animals is perfectly acceptable toward humans. Apollo Library. Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center. Unless a culture in which murderingothers for the sake of convenience or solving personal problems is what weall want-a culture in which women never learn to love and men develop alifestyle of promiscuous sex-we need to take a fresh look at abortion andwhat it really means and accomplishes. The effort to separate a fetus's life into "baby"and "non-baby" was mystifying, since obviously the moment the fetus isconceived it is a baby at an early stage of growth. Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center. Christina Fisanick. Abortion's issue is not the right of awoman to control her body; it is the right of the woman to control whathappens to the fetus.
