Exploring the Ethics of Abortion: An Argumentative Essay

This argumentative essay delves into the complex philosophical issue of abortion, arguing for its moral permissibility under certain conditions. It presents the perspective that a woman has the right to control her body, even if the fetus is considered a person. The essay further explores situations where unwanted pregnancies and socioeconomic factors justify abortion. Counterarguments, such as the moral implications of terminating a potential life and the potential for careless sexual behavior, are addressed. The essay also considers the potential health risks and psychological effects of abortion on women. Ultimately, it concludes that abortion should be a last resort option, permissible only under serious circumstances when other alternatives are unavailable, emphasizing the importance of women's autonomy in making such difficult decisions.

Introduction.
Abortion is described as removal of the foetus which has no ability to surive.The
entire issue of abortion is not easy to discuss. There are innumerable debates regarding
abortion but it’s yet to prove whether the activity is right or wrong. Generally the whole issue
of abortion depends on the level of interpretation (Ananat & Hungerman,2012). Different
expert argues that it’s right of a woman in society to decide whether the activity is right or
wrong to her. In most cases the activity depends whether it depends on whether the woman
has done it and thus showing it’s her mandate to decide whether it’s right to her. On contrary
to this there is another section in society which tags abortion as purely murder of a baby who
is yet to develop as a complete human being. There are a lot of questions which rises as a
result of abortion in society.
Exegesis
 First and foremost it’s the mandate of woman to decide abortion. This
suggests that productive organs are hers and she knows what to do. Sometime
abortion will be safe but not all cases. Abortion should not be dictated as safe
action at all cost. It must be left entity to the woman to decide whether it’s bad
or good. My stand is that abortion is immoral. Some critics always opine that
abortion is a right and woman should have right to solely proceed as she
desires (Hooper, 2014). This sheds light on rights of women in society. There
are critics which proves that abortion is risky in health and also causes a sense
of guilty when one does it. There are so many hazards pinned to abortion such
as breast cancer.Keeeping into consideration this hazards abortion has been a
debate to discuss. However there are other societies which shows that abortion
is a sin thus a need to abolish it.In fact abortion has become so contravasal.

Premise 1.
 The first premise shows how the issue of abortion a right to a woman. It shows
that women have right to abort. They own the reproductive organs and they
have maximum control over it.
Premise 2.
 On this premise it explains how abortion is affected by situations. Sometimes
abortion may done depending on the situations. Some women lacks basics for
caring the baby or mother may be in danger to death. This may demand action
abortion to safe life of either the baby or mother.
Objection.
 In most of the time we are in position to say that abortion has become a
solution for the careless sex to most of the people. The solution not to kill
innocent foetus as this is immorally and no way should be entertained unless
other ways. This is immorally wrong since every human being must be
accountable for all situations experienced when one indulges herself to
carelessness sex (Norris,Bessett,Steinberg,Kavanaugh, De,Becker, 2011).
Evaluation.
 First of all we have some fatal effects after one succeeds from abortion. Abortion
leads to haemorrhaging, increased cases of sexual disorders, risk of double breast and
even one may end up getting cancer which may lead to death at the end (Ashcraft,
Fernández‐Val, Lang, 2013). Those individuals who have done abortion have the
increased risk of having additional abortion. Infertility will result since the normal
function of reproduction system will be affected and thus the woman may lack the

fertile organs for reproduction. Legal measures have to be done to prevent careless
abortion.
Conclusion.
It therefore can be concluded that abortion can be allowed under serious conditions
when other alternatives are unavailable. It all upon the whims of women in society to care for
the baby but not seeking ways of eliminating an innocent life unless there are serious
situations which are the last option. It should be used as last option but not to as aspect of
necessity.
