abortion 2
I have decided to write an essay about abortion. Abortion is an important issue to me. I feel that it is, in fact, murder to kill a baby no matter what trimester he or she is in. I will explain three ways that I feel will cut or even stop this huge problem, deemed abortion. I will explain three alternative solutions, rather than abortion, that would indefinitely help to resolve this twenty-seven year old conflict, such as, abstinence, the adoption option, and having more social awareness of this problem. But, first I will need to give some background information on how this controversy came about.In 1973, the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision divided America over abortion. Most women's groups support the decision, but among the opponents are often conservative Christian groups that feel abortion is a mass genocide. Each side has taken their view of this issue to the streets. They express their views by marching on Washington D.C., making demonstrations at political conventions, blocking the entrances to some women's health-care clinics where the abortions are performed, and even bombing the clinics where these horrible acts take place. Some supporters argue that a woman has the right to choose abortion becaus
Another alternative to abortion is the adoption option. It is not as simple as abstinence, but it is a much more acceptable solution than having an abortion. By putting the newborn up for adoption, the mother will not have the burden of her killing her child for the rest of her life. And, she might even brighten up another family's life by giving them a baby that they themselves cannot make. Also, after a mother gives birth to a child they feel a bond that cannot be felt by any other being on earth. And, maybe the look in the child's eyes will persuade her to rethink her stance on abortions. I feel that if people went to church, and took what they were taught more seriously, then there would be fewer problems in this world, such as abortion. Norma McCorvey, a citizen of Texas, wanted to have an abortion, but Texas State law made abortion illegal. So, suing under the name of Jane Roe, she claimed that the state of Texas violated her right to privacy. The state argued that abortion is murder and there was a state interest in protecting the unborn child's life. So, they took it to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, voting seven to two, ruled that states could not prohibit abortions in the first "trimester", or three months, of a woman's pregnancy. The High Court also limited abortion restrictions in the second trimester. The Supreme Court justices wrote that, in their view, abortion is an issue of privacy protected by the United States Constitution. They ruled that a fetus is not
