Abortion: Pro-choice view
History of Abortion • There are two types: • Induced abortion • Spontaneous abortion • Induced is referred to as just plain abortion and spontaneous is usually called a miscarriage. • Can be induced by medications or surgically.
The Controversy of Abortion • One of the most controversial topics not only nationwide, but worldwide as well. • In the controversy of abortion you are either pro-life or pro choice. • Pro-life people believe abortion is murder, whereas people who are pro-choice believe a woman should be able to choose if she wants to carry a baby to term or not.
Thesis Statement • Keeping abortion legal is the right thing to do because a woman will be able to choose what happens to her body, unplanned or unwanted pregnancies can be ended, and the number of teen moms can be reduced.
The Woman’s Body • Abortion is an exceptionally personal choice that should be made by the pregnant woman herself. • Abortion is a woman’s health issue, implying that women should be able have control over their own bodies; it should not be a legal issue. • A mother has the right to do what is best for her born and unborn children.
Unplanned/Unwanted Pregnancies • Unwanted pregnancies lead to unwanted children who sometimes become subjects of child abuse. • In the year 2000, there were at least six million unwanted pregnancies. • Planned babies turn out better because they are wanted and a woman is not overwhelmed with more children than she can handle.
Teen Moms • Abortion gives teenagers the choice to decide if they want to be a mom instead of finishing high school or college. • Abortion can help teenagers get rid of an untimely pregnancy and stop them from ruining their lives. • Abortion makes it so teenage girls can finish school and earn a trade instead of sitting home and raising a baby.
Keep in mind…. • Being pro-choice does not mean you are pro-abortion, it means you think that a woman should be able to do what she wants.
