Should abortion be legal? This debate is an important issue in the United States. Many people are for it and many are against it. However, it seems that people have extreme views on the matter. It's all or nothing. The moderate position on abortion is that it should only be legal in certain circumstances. According to the essay “Three Positions on Abortion” by Thomas Shannon and Nicholas Kockler, the moderate position would limit consideration of fetal health, risks to the mother's life, rape and incest. It is also considered a moral position or compromise between the pro-choice movement and the pro-life movement. The moderate position accepts both pro-choice and pro-life. In Shannon and Kocklers' essay it states: "This position views both the fetus and the woman as having rights and recognizes that attempts to resolve such rights conflicts will result in suffering and pain" (82). This means that the fetus has the right to life and the mother has the right to absolute control over her body. Personally, I disagree with the moderate position on abortion, because the entire discussion is academic. Neither group is looking for a compromise. Otherwise, either legalize abortion or legalize it. The moderate position accepts the pro-life movement based on the fetus's right to life. He states that the fetus is not part of the body of the woman who carries it. According to Dr. Zahalsky “a developing embryo from conception is a genetically distinct entity and is not part of the body of the woman carrying it. It is easy to prove that an embryo is genetically distinct from the biological mother. It is also easy to prove that the embryo itself is not "a woman's right to decide over her own body." This is the fundamental question of this debate. Although some pro-lifers argue that the fetus also has a right to life, I mentioned earlier that abortion is a process of removing the fetus from the mother, not killing the fetus to terminate the pregnancy once time the fetus has moved away from the mother. , he is an entity of life. The right of the fetus depends on itself, but not on the mother. The mother may suffer both mental and physical harm to give birth under certain circumstances, such as rape, incest, or health problems. . I also explained that the mother has more obligations to her family and society than the value of the fetus. If the mother dies during the birth of the baby, the loss is greater than the value of the new life. Accordingly, it is not worth sacrificing the mother to save the fetus..
