Abortion Debate/Argumentative Essay
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page research paper/argumentative essay that examines the issues surrounding the abortion debate. Abortion is definitively the most "divisive bio-ethical issue of our time" (Levine, 1993, p. 22). In 1973, the Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade ignited a national debate concerning the proper regulation of abortion that has continued to the present (Roy, 2003). Seizing on the language used by the Court, lawyers and commentators have framed this debate almost exclusively in terms of the "woman's right to abortion and the fetus' lack of a corresponding personhood right" (Roy, 2003, p. 339). Examination of this issue shows that both sides have legitimate arguments, but that there are also points on which the majority of the American people can agree. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
