Abortion Pill Legalization

Abortions are the #1 controversial topic to exist! What is an abortion? An abortion by definition is “the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy”, in other words, ending an infant's life in the tummy before they are born. According to guttmacher.com, abortion pills accounted for over 54% of all abortions in the United States. This pill is now being taken to court. Should this pill stay legal for all states, or shall the banning of this pill begin now?

 

Why do people execute abortions? There are many reasons that women state why they want or have an abortion. Such as, “too early”, “not ready”, “don’t want a baby”, “can’t care for one”, ect. 

 

How does the pill work? Well actually, this is a two-step process. First, the woman will take a pill called Mifepristone. This pill will initially stop the pregnancy from progressing. This may cause a woman to feel nauseous or start bleeding from their uterus. The second pill is called Misopristol. Up to 48 hours after taking Mifepristone, the female will take Misoprostol. This pill will “in simple terms” kill the sex cells that are creating the baby. This pill will cause extreme cramps for the female as well as a lot of blood rushing out from the uterus. This process is very similar to a miscarriage when taking these pills. Still confused? Think of it as a forced miscarriage. 

 

Why is the potential banning of the abortion pill such a big deal? Mifepristone (the abortion pill) is responsible for over half of all abortions. Because of how big this pill is to abortions, this is huge for both Democrats and Republicans. Democrats are usually for “pro-choice”, whereas Republicans are usually for “pro-life”. What does that mean? If you are pro-choice, that means that you believe that women should be able to make their own decisions on what they do with their body and want abortions to be legal. If you are pro-life, you believe that abortions should be illegal and vote for the banning of this medicine. 

 

Depending on your political POV, there are many pros and cons to this pill and topic. In my personal religious view, I do not believe in abortions. I think that they should be illegal because I don’t think it is right to end a life, even if it hasn’t even begun. Also meaning, that I think that this pill should be banned by the court. This is a really tough topic to talk about, with many mixed opinions.

 

*I will try to keep posted on updates with this court case

For right now, the pill will remain legal until further notice.

Do you think that the abortion pill should be legal or illegal? Why?

 

Would it be easier for the female to just have the baby and put it up for adoption?

 

Do you think that the government will end up banning this pill?

    • You mention that the pregnancy is painful, which is obviously true, but the whole abortion process is also very painfull too.

  • I think that abortion should be legal under certain circumstances. If someone is raped, they should not be forced ot carry a baby and give birth to it. The painful process of giving birth should be met with only those who care for the baby. If someone is forced to carry but do not care for the baby, they will get depressed.

    • I think that if they do not want to care for the baby, they can always put the baby up for adoption.

  • I think Plan B should illegal because it is not right to do to a unborn hu,an neing and it can do some bad things to ur body meaning the aftermath and if you are scared of pushing a kid out of you and you think there is only one choice wich is killing them remberer c section.

    • I also think that the abortion pill should be illegal, and according to online resources, apparently the process of taking the pill is also pretty painful.

  • I think this pill should not be legal, bceause abortions are wrong. Abortions should be considered murder, because you are murdering an innocent baby. There are so many people ready to adopt a baby, then a mother decides to abort it. Abortions are wrong, and mothers should not be able to do it. 

    • I am 100% with you. I believe that abortion is murder and I hope that there is a day where all abortions are illegal. 

  • I think that it should not be used. In some cases it might have better reasoning. But do to other things in my life I think that it should not be used. Rape and other things like that I think that it should be able to get used, but I don't know how your going to police that. One other thing just don't have sex and that problem will become less and less. 

    • I agree to an extent, I do think that people need to be more responsible and know what the consequences are of the action they will be doing. Though it may sound bad, I still think that the female should have the baby even if they were assulted. It is a terrible thing that happened, but I still think that ending a baby's life is not the correct action to take.

  • I think that the abortion pill has been very helpful for women in history and I think it is good that the decision has been to keep it legal. The abortion pill is one of multiple forms of abortion, and I think in general all forms of abortion should be legal and available to all women.
