Abortion Abortion Sara is driving down 7th avenue in her red pickup truck, in a hurry and traveling well over the speed limit. Becky, who is 3 months pregnant, is waiting to cross the street on the corner of 7th avenue and Bell. The street light changes and Becky is signaled by the crosswalk sign to proceed across the street. Sara is putting in a new CD and not paying attention to the fact that she has a red light, without enough time to stop Sara runs the red light and hits Becky who has just started to cross the street. Now Becky is rushed to the hospital, she is hurt but will live but her baby dies.
Should Sara be charged with the death of the unborn baby? On the other hand, Jessica, who is a 16-year-old girl, decides to sleep with an 18-year-old boy. She gets pregnant and has an abortion because she is not ready to be a mother. Should Jessica be charged with the death of an unborn baby? The answer to both of the questions is, yes. Abortion is wrong, cruel and most of all, it goes against the word of GOD. When a woman decides to have sex she is taking the chance of getting pregnant, even if she uses protection.

If she doesn’t want to get pregnant she shouldn’t have sex, and she should be responsible enough to suffer the consequences. For example, Carrie is very promiscuous and finds out that she is pregnant, so she goes and has an abortion. Next time Carrie finds out that she has HIV, well she can’t pay someone to get rid of her problem so she has to deal with it. Why shouldn’t she have to deal with the fact of being pregnant? There are many other options to killing an innocent human: adoption or raising the child with the help of parents. However, some girls are forced to have an abortion.
No matter the reason someone has for an abortion, it is still cruel. Some women are forced to have an abortion either by their parents or their spouse. This circumstance is very hard to argue because the woman who is pregnant is not making the choice and should not be held accountable for it. And that is the only reason anyone might consider having an abortion. Look at it like this, Jeff and Bonnie are building a house, what’s the first thing they do? They design the house, creating it the way they want. The next thing they do is locating a place to build.
Then they lay the foundation and begin to build. The building process takes anywhere from 3 months to a year, depending on where you live. When the house is completely finished is when you begin to use it. You move in, decorate it the way you want and make many memories there. It’s the same way with babies, God designs the baby the way He wants, and then He decides on whom the baby will live with.
He locates a place that is safe and warm for the baby to begin its foundation. This is conception, after that the baby begins to grow (build) into the design God has created and is not completely finished until birth. That is when the baby’s mother starts to dress it and decorate it and start memories with it. Abortion is wrong, cruel and most of all goes against the word of GOD. God brought life into this world and He decides on when life is over.
A woman does not get pregnant on accident, God had a specific plan for that child and mother and when a woman kills that unborn child, not only is she breaking the Ten Commandments but she is breaking Gods heart.
In three weeks, Jennifer will leave for college. She broke up with her boyfriend two weeks ago, and today she found out she was pregnant. Should Jennifer have an abortion, or stop all her plans and have a baby at eighteen? Either way the decision is hers to make. On January 22, 1973 the landmark decision of Roe vs. Wade occurring in the Supreme Court made abortion a “constitutional liberty” (Francome 20). Legally, Jennifer can receive an abortion. Socially, however, she will endure many more obstacles. Fighting for society’s acceptance In today’s American society, viewpoints on certain topics often conflict with what individuals believe is right. This is very evident in the argument for acceptance of abortions among college students. However, with the rise of the anti-abortion movement this procedure has become less accepted and harder to obtain. Should abortions among college students be more widely accepted in society? According to a Planned Parenthood study done in 1997, forty percent of seventeen year olds will become pregnant before their twenty-fifth birthday. This statistic is directly targeted at college age females. The answer is far from being strictly a black and white issue, but my own viewpoint is “yes” abortions should be accepted among society for many reasons. The controversial issue of abortion has many intertwining, surrounding complications. Such an issue is never concrete, “in America, about 20% of Americans thoroughly oppose abortions, 20% thoroughly favor abortions, while a vast majority are ‘muddled in the middle'” (Pojman and Beckwith 59). As with any pregnancy there are impending risks involved and many extenuating circumstances that justify an abortion. In a perfect world, abortions are not the best way to prevent unwanted pregnancies, but there are many “bumps in the road,” keeping the United States from being perfect. Defining Life? The main question facing society is the definition of a fetus’ point of living. Pro-Lifers believe that, “a fertilized embryo is the foundation for a living human being” (National College Students for Life). In contrast, pro-choicers argue that a human being is something more concrete with it’s own thought processes and consciousness. Petchesky argues, “the fetus is only a potential human being, and we confuse actual with potential” (432). So who is right and who is wrong? Who makes the definition of a living human being? These however, are questions that will most likely never be resolved. Therefore, both sides need to accept and respect each other views on the issue for society as a whole to be more accepting of abortion.
Emotional Instability The emotions that result from being in a college atmosphere and the emotions that occur with pregnancy do not coincide. Most college students are not emotionally stable enough to carry or give birth to a child. As stated by Rosalind Petchesky, “women between the ages of eighteen and twenty are at the highest level of emotional insecurity and have proven to be unfit mothers” (322). Entering college is a new experience for teenagers which involves a new sense of freedom and responsibility. College students are battling with being on their own for the first time, managing their time and studying. College students have too much emotional strain and stress on them to add the additional stress of having a child. A survey was conducted among college males and females on their various viewpoints of abortion. Of those surveyed, 82% of both males and females claimed they did not feel that they would make a capable parent while still remaining in college. Having a child brings a whole new sense of responsibility that I do not believe college students are able to handle. The added stress of morning sickness, mood swings, weight gain and other anxieties attributed to pregnancy would place to much of a emotional strain on an already tense college student. Pro-Lifers argue, “if one is responsible enough to have sex, one should be responsible enough to deal with the consequences” (National College Students for Life). I am in agreement with the responsibility necessary to be a part of a sexual relationship but the reality of unwanted pregnancies is far too large to overlook. Studies show that “each year, one million teenagers become pregnant and 85% of these pregnancies are unwanted” (Detroit News). Of course there is always the counter argument of putting the child up for adoption, but that leads to more emotional entanglements. Having to go through a nine month period carrying a child growing inside you may cause you to become attached to that child, which may not receive the life it deserves at that time. Consequences of unwanted pregnancies When examining the records of any mental or penal institution and prison, one realizes that in too many cases the person was raised in a household where the parents did not want the child (Landes 121). A child requires love and compassion to grow and live a happy life. The children that do not receive adequate attention often go to jail or become insane because they have never learned to love. Also because abortions are not always easily accessible or accepted, mothers find another way to get rid of the child. This means that the children live in foster homes where they do not lead stable lives (Landes 122).

Extenuating circumstances More than 87,000 rapes were reported in 1996, and 40% of those rapes were considered date or acquaintance rape among women between the ages of sixteen and twenty, typical college age students (Willke 193). Rape is a violent act that may leave a woman pregnant. Christina, a 20 year-old rape victim, remarks on her decision of abortion rather than adoption, “losing a seven week fetus which weighed less than aspirin tablet does not compare to losing a seven pound baby with hair and fingernails that would look like me” (Bender and Leone 132). Regardless how much a mother loves her child, it is unbearably difficult to look into its face without thinking about the mortifying activity on how the child was conceived. Rape is a harsh crime and having a baby reminding the woman is too much to ask, unless she is totally willing. Abortions should also be more accepted and accessible to women whose lives are in danger or whose children will be born with a terminal illness. Pregnancy does not go with out health risks. However, “teenage mothers are more likely to give birth to unhealthy children due to their immaturity” (Maloy 124). It is not fair to the child nor the parents to bring the child into the world under those circumstances. The parent’s life would be completely altered due to the demanding needs of terminal ill children and this would not correspond with a demanding college schedule. Breakdown of sociological expectations Society’s expectations of today’s generation also conflict with the acceptance of abortion among college students. All of our lives it is instilled in us to further our education by attending a college or university. Those females who have achieved this goal should be highly praised. However, this praise and recognition is then shattered upon them becoming pregnant. The treatment received and the emotional struggles endured will make it hard for a continuation of their college education, not to mention the emotional strength it takes to carry and then support a child. According to the same Planned Parenthood study, mentioned previously, the majority of female college students that have children in college, are not able to finish their college careers. Another issue that society deems important is family values, and once again, society’s lack of acceptance of abortion conflicts with this issue. We have been taught, and studies show, that a nuclear family is healthiest. The probability of a pregnant college student being a part of a nuclear family, with two married parents, is low. As supported in the survey conducted, 30% of males said they would not support a child that was a result of a one night stand. This leaves the child without a two parent family, which is against society’s norm that we are expected to follow.
Financial burden Seventy-three percent of college students are receiving some form of financial aid, grant, scholarship or student loan (College Board 1996). College students are usually already on a fixed and strict budget and children are a huge expense on top of that. It is estimated that 8,000-10,000 dollars are spent on a newborn within it’s first year of life (Hume 213). With or without support, many college students could not afford the expense of a child in addition to college expenses, and therefore would be forced financially to drop out of school. Secondly, a large portion of the financial burden of children is held by medical expenses. There is a great insufficiency in the number of inexpensive and accessible medical utilities for young adults without any form of insurance. To follow through with a healthy pregnancy, adequate pre-natal care must be given. Because the majority of pre-natal development occurs within the first trimester (Willke 46), favorable development requires frequent check ups, along with vitamins and drugs that help prevent birth defects. Facilities that dispense such services are usually expensive and require medical insurance. After a child is born, immunizations and follow up care is required. These procedures also require some form of payment. The majority of college students do not have jobs that provide adequate medical coverage, if they even have jobs. So obviously, for many reasons having and supporting a child is too much of a financial burden on a college student and abortion seems the logical answer.
Is there a solution? Now that all the problems of having a child in college have been discussed, it’s time to ask the question-Can anything be done to make abortions among college students more socially accepted? I believe something can be done and many different possibilities need to be proposed.
More education As with any other issue, education is the basis of judgment. According to psychologist, Dr. Martin J. Sternberg, “the way children are educated at a young age directly affects their behavior as adults” (Pojman and Beckwith 418). Therefore, children need to be educated possibly as young as elementary school on the topic of abortion. At this age children are just starting to learn of society’s expectation of them to go to college in the future. They then will be able to directly correlate the need of responsibility to raise a child with the struggles of a college student, and learn they don’t mix. Of course education cannot stop at this age, and must continue throughout high school. Educating young children implants the notion in their minds, but high school students are on a more mature level to comprehend information, especially dealing with sexual relationships. High school students are also at the perfect age to realize the emotional and physical hardships that would be endured if one was to have a child in college. Of the college students surveyed, 63% did not know exactly how an abortion was performed. Teaching children about abortion at a young age, and constant reinforcement throughout their schooling will allow them to be more knowledgeable and accepting if they are a part of, or know someone who is a part of such a situation, once they reach college age. In addition to education about abortion, education about alternative methods of birth control is necessary. A study done in 1995 showed that 82% of women that received abortions, that year, were not using any method of birth control at point of conception. It could be inferred from this statistic that these women did not have knowledge about birth control or access to it. Again, starting at an early age in education, children should be taught the logistics of different methods of birth control. In many states, including North Carolina, the only method of birth control allowed to be taught, by law, is abstinence. The presence of pre-marital sex among teenagers in today’s generation cannot be ignored. Instead of trying to discount the number of teenagers that participate in pre-marital sex, society should go with a more realistic approach and educate them about birth control and therefore, there will be fewer necessary abortions.
Educating today’s youth about abortion and birth control will conjure ideas in them at a young age. With education comes knowledge, and with knowledge comes acceptance.
Greater accessibility Much of the problem with accepting abortion is the lack of facilities that perform abortions. Only thirteen percent of abortions are performed within hospitals (Landes 64). The rest are performed outside of hospitals in clinics. The Alan Guttmacher Institute surveyed and found only 2,680 abortion clinics in the United States. Eighty-eight percent of the clinics are only in metropolitan areas where ninety-eight percent of abortions are performed (Landes 64). Rural counties that contain colleges or universities do not have such accessibility to facilities that perform abortions. The AGI discovered that eighty-three percent of rural counties did not have clinics. Limited facilities that perform clinics poses a dilemma for college students that may not have transportation or time, to travel to metropolitan areas. However, if colleges installed on-campus abortion clinics with certified doctors and psychologists, for counseling purposes, this problem could be corrected. With on-campus abortion clinics, it would show the university to be more accepting and understanding of college students need for such medical facilities, and therefore, society as a whole may be more accepting. The clinics should be widely advertised so that students knew of their presence. However, they should also be in an environment that the students still feel safe and protected. It is imperative that these clinics include psychologists for counseling needs because, as previously stated, college students are encountering many new experiences and may need someone to talk to about their decision. The increase of abortion clinics, in places where college students can access them, is essential to society being more understanding of college students’ situation if they become pregnant.
Coming to a compromise Abortion will always be a very controversial issue with many different aspects intertwining within the issue. People will have their set opinions on the topic and that is fine. All that is being asked is, that society, as a whole, come to the realization of the situation that college students are a part of. An understanding of the stress and pressure that is already upon college students is needed to comprehend the impossibility of undertaking, and following through with, a pregnancy during these years of life. There are many people that consider themselves pro-choice, but pro-life for themselves. These people need to be recognized as leaders, in such that, they have made an opinion for their own bodies but are not willing to make the same decision for the rest of the world. For many reasons such as, lack of finances and medical care, society’s expectations of our generation, and the emotional strain of pregnancy and motherhood clearly illustrate need for acceptance in today’s world. College students are not emotionally nor financially stable enough to carry and raise a child. One night of stupidity should not be punishable by a lifetime of struggleIn three weeks, Jennifer will leave for college. She broke up with her boyfriend two weeks ago, and today she found out she was pregnant. Should Jennifer have an abortion, or stop all her plans and have a baby at eighteen?

Abortion Many have pondered upon the meaning of abortion. The argument being that every child that is born should be wanted and others who believe that every child that is conceived should be born. The choice of a woman whether or not she wants to conceive a child is called abortion. Abortion preserves a womans constitutional right, relieves the undesired child of future distress, and establishes a peaceful society. Abortion preserves a womans constitutional right. The fourteenth Amendment, personal liberty, gives women the choice of abortion.
The unborn child should be the property of the mother. Women should have the ability to choose when to have a child. Taking away this right would be invading a womans constitutional liberty. Abortion relieves the undesired child of future distress. In most cases, the unwanted child is malnourished, has no medical care, and gets little attention or love.

This is caused from the mother being very young, inexperienced, or too poor to take care of the child. In addition, the foster care system is inadequate in providing attention, education, and discipline. The child would grow up with improper tools to live in society. Abortion establishes a peaceful society. Due to the child being raised with improper tools, the child would grow to become an unproductive menace to society.
These individuals become violent, and lack morality due to the small amount of care they themselves received. Many get involved in drugs and crime. In the end, not only does the child suffer, but also society has to tolerate his violent behavior and crimes. Abortion should remain legalized. If abortion were prohibited, many women would perform illegal abortions.
This may do serious harm to the mother and her body. In addition, pregnancy and childbirth can prevent women from getting an education. With the right to choose abortion, women are able to enjoy, like men, the rights to fully use the powers of their minds and bodies. Bibliography none.
