From the Paper
"Every January 22 since the 1973 Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion, opponents of the decision gather in Washington, D.C. to protest what they consider to be a fundamental legal mistake. Thus far, these protectors and their March for Life have failed to achieve the overturning of the famous Roe versus wade decision.
As a matter of course, the 1973 ruling created a national policy on abortion by removing any previous state laws that were varying in their degree of restrictiveness. However, Roe versus Wade may have somewhat decriminalized the practice of abortion in some instances, but it had little impact on either the ethical or moral constraints such actions bring about. In the same light, new medical evidence has been given that has ... "

Abstract
This paper presents the argument that abortion is wrong. The paper explores the development of the fetus as well as the moral issue surrounding the topic.
Outline:
Introduction
Pro-Life
Pro-Choice
Rebuttal
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Life is something that should be valued. The beat of a heart, the curl of a toe and evidence of a brain are all indicators that a human being exists. Putting aside the religious issues the moral and legal issues dictate that pro-life is the only possible choice. "
"When babies can be saved that way one pound, how can medical science say that a fetus is not a person? If a person is allowed to get an abortion up to four months into the pregnancy and a baby being born at four months is now sometimes a viable life, how can one draw any other conclusion except that abortion is indeed murder?

Abstract
This paper examines the arguments of both sides of the abortion debate. It evaluates the ethical issues underlying the anti-abortion crusade, with particular emphasis on the rights of the fetus. The paper then looks at the pro-abortion movement, focusing on the constitutional underpinnings of reproductive rights. In the conclusion, the paper argues against criminalizing abortion once again, because making abortion a crime will not stop abortions from occurring. Instead, making abortion illegal will only serve to hurt women?s reproductive rights without adequately addressing the central concerns of the pro-life movement.
From the Paper
"In 1973, through the landmark case of Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court made first trimester abortions legal in the United States. The decision struck down a host of state anti-abortion statutes and was hailed as a landmark of women?s reproductive rights. It also gave birth to a vocal umbrella movement of anti-abortion groups which continue to challenge Roe vs. Wade both on moral and legal grounds.
Almost three decades later, the issue of abortion remains the greatest moral flashpoint facing America today. More than any other moral issue, the question of abortion has divided communities, determined the outcome of many elections and incited quiet citizens to become activists."

Pro-Life and Anti-Abortion Movements, 2005.
A look at the often violent tactics of anti-abortion movements.

Abstract
This paper examines the often violent and coercive tactics of anti-abortion movements, looks at some of the more famous anti-abortion leaders, explores the motivations of these leaders and the movements that follow them, and discusses the perception by many that the anti-abortion movement is just one part of a broader, more conservative, anti-feminist, political agenda.
From the Paper
"Both the pro-life and anti-abortion movements are motivated by one concept: that human personhood begins at conception. To these groups an embryo and a fetus are all human persons who should be granted the same rights, privileges and protections as a child or adult (Violence & harassment at U.S. abortion clinics). Operation Rescue is an anti-abortion organization that states that it is dedicated to the protection of children in the womb and their mothers who are exploited by abortion. The group declares that ?We work in every way we can to manifest the truth of God concerning abortion? (Operation Rescue Colorado). Unfortunately, ?every way we can? includes violence, murder and the misuse of religion to inspire what any moral individual could only interpret as unholy acts."

Abstract
The following paper discusses why anti-abortion campaigns must be halted by providing the reader with media references and statistics with regards to the anti-abortion population. This paper discusses what must be done in order to put the pro-choice laws, that have already been enforced, into practice by a well-briefed, well-trained state system.
From the Paper
?Only a small, militant section of the population is actively anti-abortion.
They believe that abortion kills a living human baby in a painful way. For example, a pro-life website, ironically called The Pro-choice Homepage, describes abortion this way: ?forceps must be used to grasp the baby's body because of the child's advanced development. The baby is dismembered as the abortionist twists and tears the parts of the body and slices the placenta away... the procedure is devastating...?

Abstract
This paper examines various aspects of abortion and abortion law such as social and ethical concerns as well as the law, and more specifically concerned to that of women's rights.
From the paper:
"While medical science is making abortion much safer for the woman, the debates and the legal battles continue unabated. In the United States, the battles rage in the courts, the Congress and state legislatures. There have even been violent confrontations in the clinics where abortions are performed. There are people in favor of giving the woman the right to abort, and people who are not prepared to allow abortion except when it puts the life of the mother in danger. In between these two extreme positions, we have people taking intermediate positions."

Abstract
This paper examines the underlying ethical arguments of both sides of the abortion debate, using Ronald Dworkin's "sanctity of life" principles. In this article, the writer includes all forms of abortion, from early fetal abortion through the RU46 drug to late-term abortions, from abortions out of "convenience" to abortions in cases of rape and incest. The essay evaluates how the anti-abortion crusade has framed its campaign on the personhood and the rights of the unborn fetus. The second part looks at the pro-abortion movement, which has framed its issue as a campaign for women's rights to privacy and reproductive freedom. The writer concludes that both pro- and anti-abortion factions have a common interest in seeing a society with no abortion, where the stigma and economic concerns attached to unwanted pregnancies no longer apply.

Works Cited
From the Paper
"All these scientific arguments about fetal heart rates and brainwaves serve to tie abortion to a greater and more clear-cut moral issue - murder. At issue is what Ronald Dworkin terms people's belief in "the sanctity of life," a multidimensional value measured in several factors. First, life itself has an instrumental value, because everyone's life can contribute to the interests and well being of society as a whole. Second, life has a personal value, a good or personal worth to the living individual. Finally, beyond the instrumental and personal, life also has an intrinsic value. This intrinsic value exists independently of other people's valuation, regardless of the beliefs of its possessor or other observers."
"By proving that a fetus has a heartbeat, distinct DNA and brainwaves, through graphic films showing how a fetus reacts to shock and pain, the anti-abortion camp is focusing on what Dworkin identifies as the intrinsic value of life."

Abstract
This paper reviews literature on abortion and its relation to studies of sexuality, and health issues. The paper discusses the view held by some that abortion is antithetical to the long-term health of the mother, while other believe that preventing abortion can be a health issue for some women. The paper points out that abortion is an issue that is part of human sexuality, and a concern about abortion might prevent sexual activity for some, just as the possibility of an abortion might make some unnecessarily careless about birth control.
From the Paper
"Abortion is a highly contentious issue in America today and has been at least since the Roe v. Wade decision made abortion legal. The question remains as to whether or not abortion should be legal, and while this is certainly a medical issue, the argument over the question is more often a political one. On the extreme ends of the spectrum are those who believe abortion should be made illegal in all circumstances, usually as an assertion of moral principle and supposedly a recognition of the importance of life; and those who believe abortion is entirely a matter of personal choice on the part of the mother and should be legal whenever requested. A number of intermediate positions can also be cited, from allowing abortion only for victims of rape and incest to restricting abortion under certain circumstances."

Abortion, 2002.
An anti-abortion debate.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents an examination of the topic of abortion and takes the stance that it should be illegal barring health reasons. The writer discusses the topic from a moral, legal and political standpoint while providing a solid foundation for making abortion illegal unless there are health reasons warranting it. It discusses how the legalization of abortion has opened the door for the murder of innocent children and while the pro-life advocates argue that the embryo is not a life, the heartbeat begins within weeks of conception. If society uses a heart beat to determine whether someone is alive in the world, the same criteria should apply to the life of an unborn baby.
From the Paper
"One of the most controversial court rulings in United States history was the Roe vs. Wade abortion decision in the 1970?s. That decision legalized abortion without cause. Any pregnant woman who meets the criteria with gestational age was ruled competent to decide on abortion and get one in a medical setting without facing legal ramifications. Legalizing abortions sent shock waves through the conservative community for years that have yet to subside. In the three plus decades following the decision medical science has made advances in understanding life forms and their beginnings."

Pro-choice Position On Abortion, 1989.

From the Paper
"This paper will argue in favor of the pro-choice point of view in the current abortion issue. A movement has recently developed in America in which members of various fundamentalist Christian and right-wing conservative groups are seeking to outlaw the practice of abortion. One such group, known as "Operation Rescue," has sought to dramatize this issue by blockading women's health and family-planning clinics. At the same time, pro-choice rallies across the United States have begun to attract hundreds of thousands of participants who want to protect women's rights to legal abortion. Indeed, the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion has been a constitutional right for women in the United States since the 1973 Supreme Court decision in the Roe v. Wade case "extended the protection of the Constitution to women's right to an abortion."."

Parental Involvement and Abortion Rates, 2003.
A look at the relationship between parental involvement laws and abortion rates.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores whether policy endogeneity partially explains the negative relationship generally reported between parental involvement laws and abortion rates, since parental involvement laws are found to be negatively related to both teen and adult abortion rates. Since parental involvement laws may be more likely to be passed in jurisdictions with a higher level of anti-abortion sentiment, both the laws and anti-abortion sentiment may be responsible for lower abortion rates. To explore this possible interrelatedness, a religiosity-level variable was used as a proxy for anti-abortion sentiment, since anti-abortion sentiment might affect abortion rates directly and indirectly through the greater likelihood of the enactment of parental involvement laws.
From the Paper
"The relationship of parental involvement laws and religiosity level to abortion rates was analyzed for teens and adults; regressions were estimated for four age groups: 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, and 30-34 years old. Residence county-level 1995 abortion rates were regressed against parental involvement laws and religiosity levels as well as several control county-level variables--restrictive public funding, unemployment rate, population density, percent of college graduates, extent of poverty, percent of married-couple families, and geographic region. The sample consisted of the 1,008 counties from the 17 states that reported abortion numbers by county and by age group."

Abstract
The first part of this paper studies the state-based laws that restricted abortion from the 1960s to the 1970s. The second part then examines how the women’s movement and reproductive rights supporters successfully challenged these state-based laws with the passing of Roe vs. Wade. It also studies how reproductive rights groups have successfully used "Roe vs. Wade" and Constitutional Law to protect abortion and reproductive rights. The third part of the paper focuses on the anti-abortion groups. Particular attention is given to their shift from noisy “shaming” campaigns and protests to legal arguments regarding fetal rights. It evaluates how the anti-abortion crusade has framed their campaign on the personhood and the rights of the fetus. In the conclusion, this paper assesses the future of reproductive rights, in the face of the many legal challenges being mounted by anti-abortion groups.
From the Paper
"In 1973, through the landmark case of Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court made first trimester abortions legal in the United States. The decision struck down a host of state anti-abortion statutes and was hailed as a landmark of women?s reproductive rights. It also gave birth to a vocal umbrella movement of anti-abortion groups that continue to challenge Roe vs. Wade both on moral and legal grounds. Almost three decades later, the issue of abortion remains the greatest moral flashpoint facing America today. More than any other moral issue, the question of abortion has divided communities, determined the outcome of many elections and incited quiet citizens to become activists."

Abstract
This paper begins with a discussion of the way abortion has been regarded throughout different periods and governments in history. It then goes on to look at the legal and ethical questions surrounding the issue of abortion and to examine some of the arguments presented both in favor of and in opposition to the legalization of abortion. The paper concludes with the author of the paper taking a position that favors legalized abortion.
From the Paper
"What will the world say? That the Americans cannot articulate, legislatively, that human life is expensive, that an infant's life is possibly the most valuable of all other lives, as well as that the American people want to make sure that women are positioned in an ?ethical? atmosphere in which judgments on the subject of life and death are taken sincerely and dealt with as matters of ethical seriousness. A lot of women, maybe most, by now treat this matter as an ethically serious subject, however, many do not, it is for them a structure of birth control, and even those who do might not, forever, evidently see, and therefore fully sense, what is at risk. Let them and others see it and then act accordingly to help womanhood."

"The Pros and Cons of Abortion: An Ongoing Controversy
The purpose of this report is to delineate the opposing argumen.ts centered on abortion rights, which Michael Novak (2001) views as responsible for the deaths of 40 million Americans who would have otherwise been born. This report will consider the source of abortion rights in the United States. It will also examine the disparate positions of those who support and those who oppose such rights.
Roe v. Wade (410 U.S. 113 1973) is one of the most historic decisions handed down by the United States Supreme Court. The Court was asked in 1973 to rule on the constitution.ality of a Texas law that made it a crime for a woman to obtain an abortion ..."
