Why has abortion become such a political issue? Who should have the final say?

This matter is might be simply The first Amendment, but as usually, in life things are not so easy. It is a playing god issue. Anyway whatever the decision one make it will never know if he was right or wrong.

Great paper, and yeah I agree that the government and politicians shouldn't really have a say in such a personal decision. However, they should provide guidlines and promote the thought of not getting into such a situation.


Obviously not everyone follows the same beliefs... someone in such a situation may have different beliefs to that of the countries government - so that would also have to be taken into consideration, but NOT by politicians - but by those who are closely involved - "mother" and "father" so to say.


However, I also think that each woman should not be able to have more than a set number of abortions... i mean if she can have unlimited then it becomes silly. Teenage girls would not care about it so much and would have the mentality in thinking "oh... hell... f*ck protection, if I get preggers then I can get rid of it anyway" - and we certainly don't that - do we. - Well that's my opinion anyway.

i agree entirely. The issue of killing a baby doesnt really exsist- it is a ball of cells in your body over which you should have control. if you choose to remove that ball of cells, it will not survive, and that is natures choice. In blunt terms, the sentimentalitly attached to early abortion (before the fetus is sentient) is misplaced- you have the right to remove a cancer from inside you, that, when outside the body, will not survive.If the argument against abortion is that its gods will that the fetus will become a baby, then it is surely gods will to allow the cancer to kill you. food for thought.

you have backed up your arguments v. well, it is a very contraversial issue and you write the essay very well. well done

A baby is a humnan being. I'm sorry, but no person has the right to take the life of another. Once that baby is conceived it is alive.


As to the content of your paper, I have no arguments as to your writing. It was very well written, I just do not agree.

I definitely agree that the government should have absolutely nothing to do with abortion descisions! Good point

Couldn't have said it better myself. This is a strong paper, would make a good editorial.

Great paper! I believe that the women should have every right to decide for herself. No women should have anyone to tell them what to do. Well written! With great facts to backup the argument.

I highly hold your paper in favor. I agree with tackling the root of the problem. There are too many teenagers who deal with sex too lightly. However, I think it's the mass media that has the highest affect on the teens and the problem of unwanted pregnancy. No offense, but movies like American Pie has negative effects that lead into these kinds of problems (although i enjoyed watching the movie ^^).

But there are other types of people and other reasons why mothers get abortions. One tragic reason is being a victim of rape. Although many people of different interest groups and religions and politic parties argue the morality of abortion, it is ultimately the mothers choice to undergo or not.

I really liked your saying, "offer help, guidance, and emotional support." That is as far as third party should be involved. The last call should be done by the mother.

Is this a paper defining issues with abortion or one persons opinion. The paper aviods the issue and states personal opinon supports the writers idea. The writer states what he/she believes and implies that the reader should agree with that belief. Well written paper but missed clearly defined issues with abortion.

If the government outlawed abortion and named the crime "murder" and a woman bearing a child had the nerve to abort this child, disregarding the law, then she should be able, also, to deal with the punishment of the death penalty. Also, how often is the death penalty even assigned to criminals today? Not as often as life in prison (with or without paroll). The man in the relationship should have part of the choice, too (if I was a person who agreed with abortion), because the fetus was partly made by him and therefore it is half his child. What if the man got to choose instead of the woman to get rid of her child. This wouldn't be fair. So, why is it fair that a woman has the choice to get rid of the man's child? My whole basic point is that people should deal with the obstacles and consequences in their life with responsibility and not throw away our future because they will be uncomfortable for a while with their consequence.
