    The document discusses the abortion debate in the United States, outlining the key arguments on both sides. The pro-choice position is that abortion empowers women and prevents disadvantage, that a fetus is not a person and cannot feel pain, and that no one should be forced to have an unwanted or disabled baby. The pro-life view is that abortion is morally wrong, that women should accept responsibility for their child through parenting or adoption, and that abortion could harm a woman's physical or mental health. The debate began in the 1960s with the Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade, which established a woman's right to choose abortion under her constitutional right to privacy.

    Abortion Debate

    By Connor Brown
    Overview
    The debate on whether or not abortion, the act of ending a womans
    pregnancy before giving birth, should be legal has been prominent since the 60s,
    when the court case Roe v. Wade was decided. The case stated that the
    Constitution gives "a guarantee of certain areas or zones of privacy," and that
    "This right of privacy... is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether
    or not to terminate her pregnancy," (U. S. Supreme Court, 1). The supporters of
    abortion are known as pro-choice, and the people against abortion are known as
    pro-life.
    Pro-Choice Argument
    Empowers women and keeps them from having a disadvantage after giving

    birth.

    The fetus does not have personhood and cannot feel pain.

    Babies should not have to come into the world unwanted or with fatal/severe

    disabilities.
    Pro-Life Argument
    The killing of the fetus is morally wrong.

    Women should accept the responsibility of having the child or put it up for

    adoption.

    Abortion could lead to psychological or physical problems for the mother.
