Abstract
This paper covers the different issues in the abortion debate. It covers both sides- pro-choice and pro-life. Although a conclusion is not made, the closing statement reads similar to the beginning. The issues surrounding abortion seem to be questions that must be answered by each individual searching his or her own heart and soul.
From the Paper
"Abortion has been, and probably always will be, a very controversial subject among people of all ages. There are many aspects of the controversy: morality, legality, and safety. Many people ask whether abortion is moral; they question whether it is right or wrong. Others ask whether a woman should be permitted by law to have an abortion and, if so, under what circumstances. There are two sides that directly oppose each other. People who are against abortion label themselves as being "pro-life." Those who are for women's choice concerning abortion are described as being "pro-choice." Safety is another area of controversy. Many question the hazards involved with abortion- emotional and physical. With these three issues, the abortion controversy continues."

From the Paper
"In the near future, we will have to face the fact that the course of science will always win and inevitability cloning of human or at least the cloning of organs will be performed. The question is "is cloning human beings acceptable and where do we draw the line?" Cloning has sparked controversies over the past few years. With the race to map the DNA and its completion, it has steered up the imagination of our society of what to come. In this paper, we will discus how the mass media has influenced our views and values associated with a human life and the possibility of it being cloned. We will also look at the religious point of view as well as the science on this issue. We will take a quick look on how cloning has and will affect society along with what it is to be human. This technology is still new and a lot the following will be opinions, ideas and reflections on this issue. One must take them into consideration. If one simply jumps to a conclusion, then one is fool hearted and naive since it is still too early to make such a decision whether it is permissible to clone to clone human beings. There is simply no right or wrong answer, just a matter of moral, ethics and what you believe in. For decades, cloning has been a novelty of science fiction movies but with the resent development in biotechnology and the arrival of Dolly the cloned sheep, the possibility of cloning a human being came ever so close to reality."

Abstract
This paper argues that abortion is unacceptable not only because it is murder but also because it degrades life and leads to a society that is not at all sensitive to life. The arguments of pro abortionists are presented and then countered by the author. If pro-abortionists want to scream for the rights of the mother, the writer concludes, then they must also respect the life of the unborn baby.
From the Paper
"Another argument that pro-abortion advocates will use is that we do not know when life actually begins. Those in favor of abortion will maintain that the fetus is nothing more than a mass of cells that cannot live on its own. What pro-abortion proponents fail to recognize is that there are many other human beings that fall into the same category and we do not kill them."

Abstract
The writer addresses the major arguments of abortionists and explains the fallacies inherent in them and then provides an analysis and conclusion explaining why abortion is murder and how it destroys the fabric of society.
From the Paper
"Ever since "Roe v. Wade" legalized abortion in ..., the American public has grown increasingly polarized on the issue of abortion. This has been due, in part, to the fact that the political left and right wings have taken opposing sides on the issue, thus making what is really an ethical issue a political football. Once an issue becomes political, distortion is inevitable and this has certainly been the case with abortion. The pro-abortion rhetoric attempts to use unrelated issues as smokescreens to hide the real issue of..."

Abstract
This paper examines the individual arguments put forth by those opposed to abortion and counters each of these arguments by pointing out the lack of rationale in the moral arguments of the anti-abortionists, as well as the erroneous nature of their constitutional arguments.
From the Paper
"The debate over abortion has continued since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision of 30 years ago that made abortion legal in the U.S. Each side, pro-life and pro-choice, believes it has the definitive argument regarding the issue. Whether one side or the other has the moral high ground, however, one thing is certain; women had been having abortions for centuries before Roe v. Wade. Before Roe v. Wade, the human toll was immense: "It is estimated that before 1973, 1.2 million women resorted to illegal abortion yearly and that botched illegal abortions caused as many as 5,000 deaths a year" according to National Abortion Rights Action League statistics (Quoted by Feminist.org Web site)."

Abstract
"This paper explains that the story of Mary Rogers, as told in Amy Gilman Srebnick's "The Mysterious Death of Mary Rogers", which occurred in the summer of 1841, still lies tangled in mystery because the true cause of her death was never officially discovered. The author points out that her death aided anti-abortionists in making abortion legal in New York State. The paper concludes that her death helped lead eventually to police and criminal court reforms and raised many social issues, which changed the face of New York during this period."
From the Paper
"The last but certainly not the least issue raised by Mary Roger's death was that of the police force. At that time, the police was geared more towards the prevention of crime and not so much solving murders. The fact that no one was ever prosecuted for the death of Mary Rogers led the public to realize the problems with the police force. People criticized the police for only solving crimes for which rewards were offered, and not caring for anything else. This added to the raging political controversy over police reform and the reformation of urban policies and practices. Despite controversy and belief of imminent social decay, violent murders were relatively uncommon in New York during that period."

Abstract
This paper looks at how, as years go by, the debate over the ethics and morality of abortion rages on. There are those against it and those for it if certain circumstances apply. It attempts to answer the question of when abortion is morally acceptable or whether it should be considered immoral all the time. It puts forward the author's view that abortion is morally acceptable only in circumstances where the woman was raped or her health is at risk, whether it be her life or her fertility.
From the Paper
"In the case of rape, anti-abortionists argue that it is wrong to have an abortion as well. They use the right to life argument again and state that a fetus has just as much right to life as the woman does and it would be unfair to consider the woman more of a person than the fetus, considering a person's right to life is protected by the constitution. I will grant them the fact that a fetus is a person and I will still prove their argument to be weak. Regarding rape, a woman didn't ask to be violated and raped. Abortion is not wrong here because she did not give the fetus consent to use her body. This abortion should not be considered unjust because it initially violated the woman's rights and should not have happened in the first place."
