    The document discusses the pro-choice perspective on abortion. It defines abortion as the removal or evacuation of a fetus or embryo from the uterus, which causes its death. The pro-choice view is that women should have the right to choose an abortion under any circumstances. Pro-choice advocates cite four main arguments: that it is illegal to force a woman to continue an unwanted pregnancy; that no one should be forced to bring an unwanted child into the world; that denying abortion denies a woman control over her own body; and that banning abortion exposes women to health risks from illegal abortions.

    PRO-CHOICE PERSPECTIVE ON ABORTION

    Abortion is one of the most heated topics that are constantly debated throughout the globe.

    Abortion used to be regarded purely social matter decades ago, but today it has become a

    political and ethical one as well. Abortion isn't a major ethical problem until modern

    medicine makes it relatively safe, and it wasn't until the last few decades that the topic came

    to be controversial. In other words, the overall goal of this article is to analyze the pro-choice

    perspective on abortion.

    It is essential to address the issue of what an abortion is before anything else. Abortion is the

    removal or evacuation of a fetus or embryo from the uterus, which causes or results in its

    death. One thing we can observe is that many people have a wide variety of thoughts on this

    subject, and evidently, three viewpoints exist about abortion. The polar opposite view is that

    of the pro-choice movement, who think that females should have the right to choose an

    abortion under all circumstances.

    For our argument, we will take a look at Colker's "pro-choice abortion," which occurs when

    the woman makes the decision to terminate the pregnancy. Opponents of the pro-choice

    movement believe a fetus is totally without rights in the womb. There is zero support for the

    pro-choice stance in the US since the public has never been asked to support it. Abortion

    became “legal” in the United States with the Roe v. Wade decision (Colker, 1992.) Abortion

    advocates are bolstered by powerful religious factions today. A closer look at recent history

    has shown this conclusion.

    The anti-abortion campaigners cite four major moral arguments:

     It is illegal to force a woman to continue her pregnancy if she does not want to.

     It is never acceptable to bring a kid into the world when it isn't desired.
     There is no freedom for women who have no control over their bodies, especially

    reproductive functions.

    Every woman has the right to make her own choice — whether or not to get an abortion —

    and this is what they say. It's also important to point out that no one should be forced to

    jeopardize their own health, and yet the total ban on abortion exposes many pregnant women

    to the risks of delivery, labor and illegal abortions that may be hazardous.

    Pro-choice proponents say that it helps to curb criminal activity. Levitt and Dubner say this as

    well and have provided support for it. The kids were quite clear about their reason for

    stealing. They stated that it was because several studies had shown they had a greater chance

    of becoming criminals in their lifetime (Levitt and Dubner, 2005).

    It is important to consider the how it is possible that a single woman would mourn the birth of

    her kid while others are so excited to have a baby that they will do everything to get one.

    Staggenborg suggests that, as “one of the key pro-choice facts,” pro-choice advocates don't

    always favor abortion. When it comes to abortion, it's common to hear arguments on both

    sides of the issue. It is crucial to understand the forms of arguments in ethical reasoning,

    regardless of one's personal point of view. Realize that every kid needs to be treasured, loved,

    and adored. Birth control and abortion are both critical parts of a successful program in this

    area. Choices about whether to terminate a pregnancy belong to the pregnant woman and

    should be considered the most compelling argument in the pro-choice movement.
