Abortion: Right to Life vs. Right to Choose

Paper Summary:

This is a brief paper which introduces both sides of the abortion spectrum and then provides facts and arguments to back up these sides. It discusses whether a woman's right to choose freedom for her body justifies the right of the fetus to be killed.

From the Paper:

"Abortion is defined as the termination of pregnancy before birth, resulting in, or accompanied by the death of the fetus. The issue of abortion is one of the most intensely debated and polarizing issues in the world, and specifically in the United States. There have been bitter legal battles over abortion, violent confrontations at abortion clinics, and an overall sense of conflict over this extremely personal issue. The vast majority of abortions in the United States are for social reasons rather than medical ones. These reasons include a woman not feeling ready for a baby, her partner wanting it, etc. Approximately 93% of all abortions are committed for reasons such as these (Medical par.10). Abortion is wrong, and it is murder. A woman's right to choose is superseded by her unborn child's inalienable right to life."
