Abortion aims to terminate a pregnancy by removing the fetus from the uterus. The main debate over abortion has always centered on whether the act itself should be prohibited or permitted, depending on one's opinion. In each case, there are ethical concerns that support or judge abortion. As a surgical procedure, abortion has been performed for thousands of years, and laws have changed as the number of abortions has increased. Abortion in the United States has gone through several stages of change, going from completely legal to illegal in many states and questioned nationally. I accept as true the conviction that a woman should only have the right to abortion under defensible and reasonable conditions, whether on a personal level or on a health level, because "abortion is a serious procedure. Amputation is a serious therapy for serious illnesses; abortion should be a serious therapy for serious reasons” (O'Brien, 2003). Yet what is the right thing for one woman to do in a given state does not necessarily mean it must be the right thing for another woman in a diverse state. That being said, the question arose whether the act of abortion should be left to the state or whether the federal government should take control? First of all, the history of abortion begins with the beginning of humanity itself. Around the mid-1800s, many states in the United States began passing laws making abortion an illegal process. There were a multitude of reasonable reasons that justified many regulations, such as health problems and poor medical performance that put the lives of mothers and unborn children in extreme danger. Additionally, the fear that the US population is being outnumbered middle of paper......end. This would of course require the development of a strong federal office that would define the rules on abortion that all states must follow by establishing certain criteria that the courts would implement in order to resolve problems of this type. Overall, personally, I think our goal should be not to make abortion accessible and permitted at any time and for any reason, nor to begin the process altogether, but to recognize the he existence of the life of the unborn child from the minute fertilization takes place. But in many states, "early abortions are acceptable because they do not end the actual existence of something of moral significance (i.e., a 'person'), but rather prevent a potentially significant entity to become real, which happens every time one uses contraceptives” (Williams, 2008) and this makes abortion an excellent reason. for interrupting his life.
