Argument Assignment Part2: Abortion
The aim of this paper is to build an argument against the fact that abortion should be
legalized. According to several other studies abortion is ethically correct in case of rape as well
as for unwanted pregnancy. Although considering all of these aspects I am building an argument
against the legalizing abortion as abortion is such practice by which a fetus could be killed. In
other words it can be stated that abortion is a process of killing human being as fetus develops a
human.
Followed by this consideration it is identified that as the fetuses does not belongs to any
other species thus, the fetuses can be considered as human who has their own rights to live.
Hence, it can be argued that fetuses are comes under the human rights and it is entirely unethical
to kill a life as it has its own right to live (Hanschmidt et al., 2016).
Whereas according to the argument that supports abortion rape’s result is pregnancy and
transmission of the sexually transmitted diseases. In case of STI, one should look for medication,
however if this is pregnancy, then one should be compelled for carrying it when not ready for it.
Such people who are yet not prepared for pregnancy are to experience difficulty during the time
of pregnancy and delivery that puts line in danger (Cornell, 2016). Trauma and pain to carry
pregnancy as rape’s result, giving birth to child as well as taking care of child is way too much.
Victim suffers when she is not responsible for such results. In such case abortion could be an
option for recovering for such torture. However, abortion would not be best alternative for such
cases. The child could be aborted through medication or surgery, however the pain and trauma of
the incident would be stuck inside her forever. There are few times when few complications
might arise while pregnancy putting life of both mother as well as child in danger. On few
occasions when these incidents take place, both the mother as well as her child did not survive
(Jones & Jerman, 2017). Attempt should be made in saving mother if there is no possibility of
saving both mother as well as her child. Only way that remains of other medication techniques is
abortion.
However, apart from the above mentioned reasons women could have abortions for
several reasons that are related to achieve life goals also (Jatlaoui, et al., 2018). Another reason
for abortion to be found is mitigating unintended pregnancy’s effect on course plans of life.
Women felt carrying unintended pregnancy could interfere with the plans abs abortion could
help them in achieving personal goals. For such reason, doctors should not be allowed for
abortion unless it is an emergency case. Keen look into cases of abortion from several countries
all over the globe indicates there is steady increase in abortion irrespective of the law. Cook
(2019) has argued that Doctors should only be given permission for performing abortion unless it
is an emergency case. It has been costing people lives, especially for the mother who fears that
they would be reprimanded by parents or peers for getting pregnant or not ready in taking
responsibility to be mother.
Jones & Jerman (2017) has also argued against abortion by stating that abortion is
completely wrong as no matter what the purpose of the action is but it is basically killing humans
