Abortion Pros and Cons
Abortion pros and cons
When the topic of abortion comes up there is almost always a heated argument between both sides. There are pros and cons to abortion s some see it. In general, here are the pros and cons most often mentioned day those on both sides of the fence.
Abortion Pros
It is a woman’s right to choose to do what she wants to with her own body. Those who hold to this argument say no one should be able to make a decision on what a woman can do with her own body. Those on the abortion pro side look at it as an inalienable human right. Of course, those on the abortion con side would retort, “The life of the baby is an inalienable human right that cannot be discarded.”
Those on the abortion con side might also argue that abortion takes care of the problem. Many on the abortion pro camp have been quoted as saying, “Once it is done it is done.” Again, on the other side of the argument, they would say that nothing can be further from the truth. Research does in fact bear out what has even been formally diagnosed as Post Abortion Stress Syndrome (PASS). It is hard to deny that a woman is bound to go through tremendous emotional and physical stress after having undergone an abortion.
Abortion Cons
Those that are in the abortion con camp would say first and foremost that this is human life and it begins at conception. It is not an organism or unfeeling “fetus,” but a living, breathing life. If in fact this is the case then abortion is murdering a human being. That is the primary assertion for those in this camp. The abortion pros would argue that life begins at different generally accepted but arbitrary periods. In truth, this argument cannot hold up to real science.
Abortion cons would also say that organizations that perform abortions do so for the money and disguise this as a commitment to the welfare of the mother but a look behind the scenes does tell the real story. That is why pro life organizations encourage a woman to at least get an ultra sound before making the choice to have an abortion.
