Abortion has been a nationally debated issue for centuries. These debates are entitled pro-choice or pro life. “In the United States, the
history of abortion goes back much further than the 1973 Supreme Court case Roe
v. Wade, which made abortion legal. " Abortion is not like any
other issue that is being debated today. Millions of American women have aborted a children. Many woman describe this as a painful process. In addition woman have had mental side effects from this procedure.Other feel that all forms of abortion are morally wrong and should be illegal.
"This means that, in any
debate, you may face an invisible thumb on the scale so that even the best
logic will fail to persuade. The best you can do is arm yourself with the facts
and deliver them in what you hope will be a winning way for your
audience meaning you will need to make your case, in most instances,
not in the language of faith or religion but in the language of the post-modern
secularist.
The "classic"
arguments from the other side are collapsing under the weight of science.
"No one knows when life begins" and "It's a blob of tissue"
are frankly on the wane, especially in the context of surgical abortion, which
is how the vast majority of abortions are done today."

"Women who are raped or victims of incest should not be forced to carry out a pregnancy. Odds are that 1 in 3 women will be victims of sexual violence in her lifetime. Does this mean that 33% of all women should be forced to carry out a pregnancy from this violation? Considering how many people are killed during childbirth should we allow this further risk to endured on top of what has already been done?
Reproductive
restrictions do not end with abortion. Many people also argue that contraception
itself is wrong—another mainly-religious philosophy—and will deny women the
protection they need based on this belief. There are legislative acts that
allow actual pharmacists to deny women their birth control because of their
beliefs; does this not violate the Hippocratic Oath, case he uses it to rape?
You never know."
