Defense of Abortion

Human being a noble race, anything that is done in ill willed spirits elicits some heated debate. So many schools of thought have come up to with many definitions regarding abortion.some say is the act of detachment from non bodily components, some say is the unwilled termination of unwanted pregnancies. Nevertheless, this is the process by which the fetus is prematurely removed from the mothers womb intentionally or unknowingly(Lunneborg) To some extent in the normal it refers to pregnancy loss irregadless of the causation factors. Warren, for instance argues that for a person to have qualities of animacy and to be precisely humanity, and the right to exist, he must assume the position of feeling pain and pleasure to some extent, also he must show emotions, that come with different feelings of sadness and happiness ,in addition, he should be able to reason tackling the challenges positively which he’s faced with are faced with. Above all he should be able to pass on information effectively via relaying messages correctly to the intended parties around him. In Warren’s statement, fetuses have none of these factors, and the result therefore is that fetus claim on life. This is supposedly true, since the termination of the fetus due to be born not inflict any suffering upon them, because their emotions and feelings are not yet shaped up (Potts). In her argument, Jarvis seems to be inclined to the situation that leads one into pregnancy than the fetus itself. Especially when she uses the analogy that, rape and kidney operation gives the woman unpleasant right to maintain pregnancy, hence this leaves here with the option to terminate it.

Critics of Jarvis

According to Marquis, nobody has the right to risk his own life at the pretext of another. Using the example of violinist, whereby she supposedly gives an analogy in which one discovers that the life of violinist has been lodged into his, the risk rest with the disconnection from the violinist, and if so it happens then he would be embattled with death of the violinist . The rationale behind this is that since he is under no responsibility to ensure the survival of the violinist he can choose to detach himself.

Some opponents argued that there are other ways one might have acquired a right to the use of someone’s body than by having been allowed to use it by that person. For example if a woman voluntarily engages in intercourse, knowing of the probability it will result in pregnancy, and then, she does contract pregnant; the question critics ask, “is she not in part accountable for the presence, and the very existence, of the unborn child?”. No doubt she did not solicit for it. But her partial responsibility for its occurrence gives it a right to make use of her body.Furthermore, some critics relates this episode of wanting to a abort with the act of boys stealing the chocolates, and in smidgen like one unplugging from the violinist. They argue that doing so would be depriving the fetus of what it does have a right to, and thus an injustice to it.

How critics defend the stand on abortion

On the other hand, critics of abortion flexes the muscles, They maintain that the unborn person has a right to its mother’s body to the limits that if her pregnancy resulted from a self willed act, undertaken in full knowledge and complacency of the chance a pregnancy might occur from it. It would exclude entirely the unborn child whose existence is as the result of rape. Pending the propping of some further views, then, they feel left with the conclusion that unborn people whose existence is due to rape have no right to make use of their mothers’ bodies, hence aborting them doesn’t deny them anything they can access rightly, and hence they conclude it as not unjust killing.

Again, some supposes that if pregnancy only lasted for an hour, and posed no threat to life or health. While some supposes that if a woman became pregnant due to rape. Admittedly she did not choose by herself to do anything that brings about the existence of a child. Undoubtedly she did nothing whatsoever which would give the unborn child reason of her body. All the same, they say, as in the newly hutched violinist story that she ought to permit it for that hour because that would be indecent of her to refuse.

Successes of these criticisms

Even though there has been much orchestrated voices on abortion this seems to have taken the ancient proverbial muse of dodo and the great auk. According to Warren stand, is that the voices and debates put on abortion have realized less, even to an abhorable length different states have made it illegal. This implies that the positivities realized and gained from this situation do not measure up. On a calculated scale, their is a rise in death of young girls who tempt the act of abortion. The main cause still is not new but the rationale that they are all the time being kept on a hide and seek game leading to inability and fear in accessing the hospitals for hygienic and proper medicatin.This leads them to dingy places where they feel un revealed to practice the act. Moreover in this underground places their safety is never guaranteed hence even succumb to death due to crude and un sterilized tools used in carrying out abortion (Stotland). Such matters can be tamed by governments through the making of laws that govern matters of abortion. In warrens view, it probable and possible for the maters concerning abortion to well addressed in hospitals, hence proper treatment for girls.

Comments

Therefore, the matters concerning pregnancy and birth are better and will be better addressed by women and not backstreet preaching on abortion hence good laws give women the chance for making informed decisions.
