Abortion

Abortion When a woman becomes pregnant, the woman has a couple of options. One is to do nothing, like people have the thousands of years before us, and raise it herself. She could also have the baby, and give it up for adoption. The third option is now available after the infamous Rowe vs. Wade decision, and that is to have an abortion. Abortion is a tough subject to tackle and this paper is going to focus on both sides of the issue. In the United States, women choose to end around 25 % of their pregnancies through abortion. This number has gradually been in decline since 1979. Our friendly neighbors to the North, Canada, has comparable numbers in that woman end pregnancies through abortion 21% of the time. The former Soviet Union (60%) and Romania (78%) are quite high, but there is a short supply of contraceptives in those countries. A social consensus exists among pro-lifers and pro-choicers that when human personhood begins, that person should be protected. The problem in the United States is that people hold conflicting views as to when human personhood begins. This leads to conflictual beliefs and policy abortion, life, pregnancy, human, should, people, woman, begins, pro-life, death, abortions, one, time, states, dead, birth, believe, until, personhood, fetus, during, been, argue, activity, very, someone, reasons, pro-lifers, pro-choice, point, person, might, going, control
