An Understanding of The Pro-choice and Pro-life of Abortion

Abortion the pros and cons, peoples beliefs, pro-choice and pro-life decisions. Pro-choice people argue that women have a fundamental right to terminate their unwanted pregnancies, and most pro-life people believe that the fetus is a human being and to have an abortion is murder.

At the moment there are no laws in Connecticut that ban abortion. There is no age limit and no waiting period. It is legal in Connecticut to have an abortion. In the 1973 the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that having an abortion during the early stages of pregnancy is a constitutional right.

There are two positions on the issue. Pro-choice and Pro-life. The question is not are you for or against it is weather or not a fetus is or is not a human being at the time of conception. Many pro-life advocates say that the answer is conception. The moment when a mans sperm and a womens egg, are joined. "At that moment the fetus is formed as a unique person that is allowed to develop freely, would grow to function independently." So abortion is wrong. Many pro-choice proponents argue that human life begins at viability, the moment when a fetus can survive outside the mothers womb. That is why they believe abortion is an okay decision to make.

Pro-life advocates believe that a babys life begins at conception. They state "That right to be born overrides the mothers right to make decisions about her body since her decisions to abort affect the life of another human being, the unborn baby."To them abortion is "murder." They say that "Its not a choice its a child." Pro-life advocates say "That there are other options other than abortions theres adortion, or family parenting." "To kill an inocent baby is just not right."

Pro-choice advocates believe that every women has a right to terminate her unwanted pregnancies. They believe that "every women has a basic right to make decisions that effect her body without interference from the Government. "They think that the human life begins when the fetus is able to live outside the mothers womb. In that case life begins when the lungs, kidneys, and other critical organs are developed. In Roe v. Wade they argue that the state can prohibit abortion only after fetal viability. Pro-choice strongly support that. This is what I believe that is in the best intrest of the women. I have to add that I am pro-choice but only in certain cases. For a women to use abortion as a form of birth control then I do not agree. For a women who has been raped, is in danger of death if she has the baby , or if insest is involved is the only time that I agree with abortion. I do not think that they should ban abortion I think that they should put a restriction on it. If someone comes in to get an abortion just because they dont want the baby then that is murder, if they have a very resonable reason then I believe it is right.

If I were to have to do something about the issue I would write letters to the state and tell them how I feel. I would put a story in the newspaper letting people know my opinion. I may even go to an abortion clinic and observe the pickiters and here there opinions and be open minded towards them.
