Katie Travers If a woman wants an abortion she should have one. Do you agree give reasons for your answer show that you have thought about more than one point of view. There are many arguments for and against abortion. People who are pro abortion such as the group pro choice believe woman have the right to chose and many woman see it as their fundamental right to choose an abortion. Some see the foetus as just a collection of cells that cannot survive on their own. So abortion could be similar to having an unwanted organ removed. If the baby were disabled then some would see an abortion as justified instead of bringing a disabled child into the world especially if the mother cant cope with a disabled child. In cases such as rape people believe that the mother can have an abortion on compassionate grounds. By having the baby it would add to the mother's trauma that she has already been through and the mother may find it hard to love the baby if she can she evidence of the aggressor. Every child has the right to be loved if the child is unwanted they will not feel loved and may get abused. No woman should be forced to carry a child, which she does not want. On the other hand some people would ague against the right for abortion. There are groups such as pro life that are against abortion. Some may argue that the foetus has as much right to live as anyone else. Not only do
Abortion - life is sacred?
ABORTION It is the belief of many different people that life is sacred and that life should be valued no matter what age the person is or weather the person has got mental difficulties which came not be prevented many people feel that the best solution for this problem is having an abortion while the baby is still in the womb of the mother. Many people feel that it is wrong to have an abortion no matter what the circumstances are because they believe that it is wrong for a person to decide that a child should be aborted for its own life. It is wrong for a man to kill another man as he will be sent to jail but if a mother is to have the life of her, own flesh and blood to be terminated why is it that they are aloud to do so. These people believe that he mother and father should grateful they God has granted them the very special gift of having a child and with them deciding to have a termination it is going against God's plan for them. However this is only a small section of the anti abortion camp because a large number of the people believe that yes abortion is wrong and it cant be justified apart from in special circumstances with the examples, if a child was conceived through rape, if there is a danger to the mothers life during the birth of the child and also if the parents have a mental difficulties which could result in possible problems while the child is in the
Fertility treatment - the Roman Catholic View.
Dear Jo and Jeremy, I am writing this letter regarding your queries on your current situation. I understand that you have been attempting for a child for six years now, but to only discover Jeremy’s low sperm count – decreasing the chance if a baby. As a solution IVF treatment is accessible for your needs, however it may cause problems among your faith as a Roman Catholic; which will be discussed further throughput this letter. It is believed in the Roman Catholic Church that life begins at conception therefore any techniques aiding infertility must react appropriately and respect this opinion. As a result any artificial insemination or IVF treatments are acceptable, however once the egg and sperm have been fertilised it cannot be wasted or destroyed as this does not follow your religions belief that “Life is God’s gift”. Fortunately, any of Jo’s eggs can be frozen for future attempts if you are unsuccessful in your first treatments – none of these frozen will be embryo’s therefore you are not freezing a life, accepting the Roman Catholic view. But more than one embryo is inserted into Jo therefore there is a chance that not all of them will develop into fetus’ and could be interpreted as ‘killing’. Also, the two of you (Jo and Jeremy) have been married for eight years proving that in the eyes of the church you’re approved to receive this fertility
Describe and explain the teachings of the religion you are studying about the sanctity of life in relation to abortion
Describe and explain the teachings of the religion you are studying about the sanctity of life in relation to abortion What is abortion? The religion I am studying is Christianity. A dictionary description of abortion is "operation to end a pregnancy." It is the premature expulsion of the foetus from the womb. Sometimes this happens spontaneously, this is called a miss-carriage. Abortion is allowed at any age, although there is a legal age at when sexual intercourse can happen this is not always obeyed. For an abortion to take place two doctors must agree that the abortion meets the specific criteria. There has to be a risk to the mother or baby's mental or physical health. This leaves a large loop-hole in the law as anyone could claim it will damage there mental health. Abortion 'must be carried out in a hospital or in a place approved by the Secretary of State.' The pregnancy has not exceeded its 24th week and if it were continued it would cause more risk than if the pregnancy were terminated. History of Abortion 861 Offences against the Person Act - all abortion is illegal for any reason. 967 Abortion Act - Allows abortion under certain conditions and on certain ground. 990 Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act - strengthened the 1967 Act Sanctity of life The sanctity of life is a very important issue to Christians. It means that all life is sacred. "God
.C.S.E Religious StudiesCoursework Piece 2A on Abortion
G.C.S.E Religious Studies Coursework Piece 2A on Abortion Abortion seems to play a large part in society today. Everyday many women come in and out of hospitals having gotten an abortion. Personally I am against abortion but I feel that it is acceptable to have an abortion only for the following reason, that the woman became pregnant through the act of a rape attack. Although there are many arguments for and against abortion throughout the world. Most of the arguments against abortion are brought up by people involved in religion e.g. Christians, Priests and Muslims etc. Here are a few examples of the argument for abortion. Certain contraception's are no where near 100 percent safe. If a woman is raped and becomes pregnant then the offering of an abortion is humane and practical. Many peoples opinion differs when it comes to when life begins, whether it is as a foetus or as a baby just out of the womb. There are many women who do not want children and we should respect their decision. Every child has the right to be wanted. Abortions save a lot of children from being unwanted. If abortions are made illegal, many women may still want abortions and the only way for them to get one would be through dangerous or unregistered surgeons or the women may actually have to resort to DIY which is just out of the question and massively unsafe. The debate against abortions is as
Explain Christian and Islamic Attitudes to Infertility Treatments
Explain Christian and Islamic Attitudes to Infertility Treatments Most non-religious people are for artificial insemination but many religious people believe it is a sin and is against god, or against the will of god or Allah. The most common belief it is 'not natural', as it is not part of a man-woman sex act. Many Christians believe that god intended a man and woman to have sex to produce a baby. Many Christian people and even non-religious people are against artificial insemination by donor or husband (AID/AIH). AID is frowned upon because the donor is not the husband, or in the case of embryo/egg donation, the wife. AIH involves masturbation, which is a sin for some Catholics or Protestants. The Catholic Church says that 'these techniques infringe the Childs right.' .( Catechism of the catholic church)Eg. To not know a donor is used Considering all this some religious people see having a baby as a right and encourage artificial means of conception, they think having a baby as a joy to a couple. In Muslim culture there are many illegal forms or conception due to Shari'ah law, AID, egg donation and adoption are banned, and there are various quotes from the Qur'an forbidding IVF and adoption. E.g. "Slay not your children...the killing of them is a great sin" Qur'an 17:13, this quote means they believe that life starts in the womb, at conception, and to have an
Explain what you understand about the bible and church teaching about abortion.
Oaye Explain what you understand about the bible and church teaching about abortion. The bible states that God created human beings, this makes human's special, and therefore the bible disagrees with abortion as it is getting rid of special people in a dirty way. The bible teaches that all human life is sacred and deserves equal rights and respect, therefore an unborn child deserves the right to live and should not be killed, One of the ten commandments states, Do not commit murder. Proving that abortion should not be carried out in any circumstance. Another quote proving that God sees everyone as special individual even before they are born is in Jeremiah 1, The word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew [1] you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." "Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child." But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD. In the bible it states that children belong and are made to live in a special place in the eyes of God, and should not be killed, Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the children come to me and do not stop them because the kingdom of
Abortion is a controversial issue in society.
Abortion Abortion is quite a controversial issue in society. Since the 1973 court ruling of Roe. V. Wade that abortions are legal during the early months of pregnancy they have become one of the most common surgical procedures in the U.S. There are several circumstances, which I believe an abortion to be warranted. One example would be an "unintended" pregnancy by a teenage girl who is merely a child here self and is too immature to raise the baby. Another example is a woman being the victim of a rape, where the child after being born, would be a constant reminder of this terrible, traumatic experience. In the case of a medical problem, such as a woman who during the routine ultrasound, finds out that the baby's skull won't be formed properly or won't survive, the woman should have the opportunity to spare herself, here family, and the unhealthy unborn "person", from suffering. In the event of an accident or premature labor, I believe abortion to be another answer if the woman might die, and/or the unborn "person" might not survive. Abortion sometimes are used to prevent the birth of babies with serious genetic defects, such as Down's Syndrome, cystic fibrosis, mental retardation etc. but most abortion are the result of pregnancies unwanted for economic hardship, a woman being to old, or social stigma. The termination of life, whether it be three weeks into
Abortion - its up to the mother if she wants to kill her child.
Abortion Essay Abortion is when a baby is killed when it's still in the womb. It is often done by cutting or sucking it out. Or sometimes it is mashed up then sucked out. The abortion act says an abortion is legal when the mother's, the child's or other children's mental or physical health is at stake or if it is done in international waters. Many Christians oppose abortion because according to Christians, everything is wrong, like killing. Which is really stupid because if you were being eaten by a rabid mongoose you can't kill it even though it is killing you. Christians also say that pride is a sin, which means that if you're proud of being Christian you go to hell. Some Christians think abortion is okay. This is probably because they aren't actually Christians and are just pretending to be Christian for insurance fraud. But they could say abortion is okay if their child is likely to be a horny, greedy, lazy, fat person that kills people and is proud of it. The bible is not just a textbook for Christian living because someone in the Virgin Mary's situation would have an abortion. This is because Mary must have been drunk because she doesn't remember the conception and this is scientifically proven that the child would be born with no legs and glowing bright green. Also because she didn't remember, she thought God was the father, which proves it damaged her mental
Abortion - a religious overview.
Abortion Abortion means the termination of the life of a fetus. Most Muslims believe that abortion is a sin but is allowed if the mother's life is in danger. They believe this because life belongs to Allah and the shari'ah says the mother's life takes priority. Some Muslim lawyers teach that the fetus only receives its soul after 120 days. So abortion before that date is allowed but it must be fir a good reason. Protestants believe that abortion id evil but it is sometimes the only option (pro-choice) e.g. Rape, severe handicap, threat to the life of the mother, poverty. The people that believe this base their views on the following, love their neighbor as themselves, people have to face up to technology. Roman Catholics and some Protestants believe that abortion is always wrong and should not be allowed (pro-life). They believe this because all life is holy and belongs to god, only god has the right to end a pregnancy, life begins at the moment of conception. Some people agree with abortion because it might be a risk to the mother's life if she has the child or the family may not be able to afford to have another child (family-planning). Some people would not agree because if some one doesn't want to have a child they should use contraception and not use abortion as an excuse not to use contraception, (they might say "having an abortion is like killing some one and you
