- Women have a right to make decisions about their own bodies, including the decision to terminate a
pregnancy, without interference from the government. - Banning abortion will not stop women from
seeking out unsafe, illegal abortions, which can be dangerous to their health and safety. - Unwanted
children can suffer from poor health and education outcomes, and they may also be neglected or abused
if their parents are not emotionally or financially equipped to care for them. - Abortion cannot be
equated with murder because the fetus does not have the same legal and moral status as a person, and
its right to life must be weighed against the rights and interests of the pregnant person.
Abortion is the voluntary termination of a pregnancy, often performed during the first 28 weeks of
gestation. There are various methods of abortion, including medical abortion and surgical abortion.
Medical abortion involves the use of medication, while surgical abortion involves a minor surgical
procedure to remove the contents of the uterus. The issue of abortion is a complex and highly debated
topic, with ethical, legal, and societal implications. It is a personal decision that many women may face at
some point in their lives, and it is important for individuals to have access to accurate information in
order to make an informed decision.
it is important to acknowledge that abortion is a complex and highly debated issue that touches on a
multitude of ethical, moral, and legal questions. Each individual's beliefs and values may influence their
perspective on the issue. It is important to consider the various factors that may contribute to an
individual's decision to seek an abortion, including their personal circumstances, health, and the
availability of resources and support. While some may argue that abortion is a legitimate option for
those facing unwanted pregnancies, others contend that it is morally wrong and should be prohibited.
Ultimately, the issue of abortion is one that requires careful consideration and reflection, with an
emphasis on empathy and respect for differing viewpoints. It is important to promote open and honest
dialogue on the topic in order to work towards understanding and compassion.
The legal basis of abortion varies by country and jurisdiction. In some countries, including the United
States, abortion is legal and protected under the right to privacy established by the landmark Supreme
Court case Roe v. Wade. This decision held that the Constitution protects a woman's right to choose to
have an abortion without excessive government interference. In other countries, abortion may be legal
but with varying degrees of restrictions such as mandatory counseling, waiting periods, parental
consent, or limitations on where and when the procedure can be performed. On the other hand, in some
countries, abortion is illegal except in cases of danger to the life of the mother or in other limited
circumstances. It is important to note that regardless of the legal status of abortion, it remains a deeply
personal and often controversial issue for many people. Both sides of the debate often hold strong
opinions and beliefs based on cultural, religious, and personal values.
Abortion is a highly debated and sensitive topic that has been around for centuries and continues to be a
controversial issue in today's society. The debate over whether or not abortion should be legalized has
intense feelings on both sides. Supporters of legal abortion argue that a woman has the right to make
decisions about her own body and health, while those who oppose it believe that abortion is morally
wrong and that it should be considered murder. The purpose of this paper is to examine both sides of
the abortion debate and provide a balanced perspective on this complex and divisive issue.
women get abortions, and many resort to unlicensed physicians, use folk medicine, or try to self-induce
themselves. Those pursuing abortions in the Philippines face not only incarceration, but also the
constant possibility of death, as free and affordable facilities are out of reach. According to Tinay Palabay,
the Secretary-general of the rights group alliance Karapatan and a co-convener of the women’s human
rights association Tanggol Bayi “Information and knowledge on availing safe abortions is largely not
available. In the most-slim instance that these are available, facilities for safe abortions are very few.”
Secretly providing safe abortions in hospitals, some qualified doctors in the Philippines risk their careers
out of their conviction that women should have the freedom to ensure their own well-being. (Aspinwall,
Nick, 2019) The only right for abortion to be legalized in the Philippines is that it will free us from
discrimination and self-righteousness, and if it is ever enforced, strict regulation and control mechanisms
should also be implemented. Let it be a right, but it must be connected with it when it becomes a proper
obligation. If we can accomplish a new ground where disagreements can be resolved and consensus
between the parties is a possibility, and the suggested alternatives are taken into account, we can be
confident that maternal deaths will dramatically decrease due to unsafe practices, and that our society,
which has been increasing for years, would eventually be reduced. Finally, we will be aware that every
person counts, that responsible parenthood is not aright but a duty. Once abortion is legalized along
with control mechanisms to prevent its misuse, unless they become responsible for their own actions,
citizens may understand that freedom is not true freedom.
