Abstract
This paper discusses the Social Conservative and Social Democratic views on abortion. Social Conservatives (i.e. Republicans) support pro-life and are against abortion. These views are deep seeded and rooted in the conservative ideology. Whereas the Social Democrats support the rights and freedoms of the individual and favour pro-choice. The paper analyzes the issue, which has long been debated and continues to play a crucial role in contemporary political agenda.
From the Paper
"Running head: Abortion v. Right to Life Introduction The abortion vs. right to life issue has been a hot topic in politics over the past several decades. The Roe v. Wade case set precedence in the 1970's in the United States when the Supreme Court declared that most anti-abortion laws violate a persons' constitutional right to privacy. The issue has long been debated in both political and religious spheres."

Abstract
This paper discusses abortion on a pragmatic level of when human life actually begins. It explores the Japanese culture and Buddhism in its respect for life and the essence of the spirit and compares it those views of American Christianity. It shows further, how each views life in the context of abortion.
From the paper:
"...at the heart of this debate is the ethical and religious question of ?when does human life begin?? Perhaps one of the reasons the issue is both so contentious and so difficult, and why such little light has been shed upon it, is that there are deeper issues at hand than that of politics or law. To explore these issues without passing judgment on the issue in a legalistic fashion is important. Religion is at the heart of this debate, and this paper will attempt to explore notions of the nature of human life from a comparative perspective to give a fresh view on this rather tired issue. It will examine the radically different fashion in which abortion is conceived of in contemporary Japanese Buddhism versus contemporary American Christianity. Through looking at these religions through this very specific focus this paper will also attempt to explicate differences between these two religions in their different cultural contexts in a larger fashion."

Abstract
This paper provides a thorough summary of both sides of the abortion issue. It covers the main arguments of each side, pro-life and pro-choice, and compares the two while pointing out the pros and cons of each.
From the Paper
"Women's rights should be protected at all costs, especially since unwanted pregnancies can put the mother at risk in many cases. Very young mothers or mothers with poor health, for example, can be put at serious risk during a pregnancy they are not ready for. Also, mothers with poor financial status who are not ready for a baby may be forced to bring the child up in poverty."

Abstract
This is a brief paper which introduces both sides of the abortion spectrum and then provides facts and arguments to back up these sides. It discusses whether a woman's right to choose freedom for her body justifies the right of the fetus to be killed.
From the Paper
"Abortion is defined as the termination of pregnancy before birth, resulting in, or accompanied by the death of the fetus. The issue of abortion is one of the most intensely debated and polarizing issues in the world, and specifically in the United States. There have been bitter legal battles over abortion, violent confrontations at abortion clinics, and an overall sense of conflict over this extremely personal issue. The vast majority of abortions in the United States are for social reasons rather than medical ones. These reasons include a woman not feeling ready for a baby, her partner wanting it, etc. Approximately 93% of all abortions are committed for reasons such as these (Medical par.10). Abortion is wrong, and it is murder. A woman?s right to choose is superseded by her unborn child?s inalienable right to life."

Abstract
After examining the background and history of abortion in America, this paper takes a look at the arguments that opponents of abortion make in justifying their position. The paper then presents counter arguments to those arguments, based on scientific, legal, and moral analyses of the issue.
From the Paper
"Abortion, or the elective termination of pregnancy likely predates recorded human history, being practiced within virtually every society throughout the world.(6) In 1973, the United States Supreme Court very specifically decided that the United States Constitution affords a fundamental right to individual privacy that absolutely prohibits governmental interference with a women?s autonomous right to seek
medical termination of unwanted pregnancy, except where deemed necessary to safeguard the woman?s health paternalistically.(4) Ever since the legal issue was decided by the Supreme Court in 1973, a so-called pro life lobby, spearheaded by religious opposition to any type of abortion has campaigned for and funded the proposition of legislation and policies designed to undermine the rights recognized and established under constitutional law in the United States."

Abstract
This paper examines various aspects of abortion and abortion law such as social and ethical concerns as well as the law, and more specifically concerned to that of women's rights.
From the paper:
"While medical science is making abortion much safer for the woman, the debates and the legal battles continue unabated. In the United States, the battles rage in the courts, the Congress and state legislatures. There have even been violent confrontations in the clinics where abortions are performed. There are people in favor of giving the woman the right to abort, and people who are not prepared to allow abortion except when it puts the life of the mother in danger. In between these two extreme positions, we have people taking intermediate positions."

For the purposes of this discussion I would like to defend the pro-life stance."

Abstract
This paper provides a critical look at Carl Sagan's article "Abortion: Is it Possible to be Both Pro-Life and Pro-Choice?", which provides both sides of the religious and scientific arguments that are currently part of the abortion issue in American society. The paper points out that Sagan provides a two-fold analysis of the science and theological definitions of life and how this acts within the social conflict between pro-life and pro-choice factions in their differing objectives for legislation on abortion. The paper also points out that Sagan seeks to promote the importance of why compromise and balance between these two factions are important in American society and for the creation of legislation on this issue. The paper concludes that, although Sagan provides a mastery of the scientific facts that are part of modern research of life in the womb, he is decidedly biased in his reliance on science.
Outline:
Summary
Discussion and Analysis
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The central issue for Carl Sagan is understanding the debate between the religious (pro-life) and the secular scientific (pro--choice) factions that currently debate the issue of abortion. Sagan argues for the issue of pro-life arguments that determine that the life in the womb is 'alive' at first conception, which Sagan refutes by imposing a more scientific point of view that life is not an issue related to conception, but that there is a longer history for human life since the beginning of the Earth, nearly 4.6 billion year ago (201). Yet with science, the clarity of these issues do not always refer a more valid sense of where and how life is determined within religious values. For pro-lifers in the American Christian culture, the idea of conception takes on a human characteristic that must also be taken into account due to missing details of current incomplete scientific evidence that equally philosophize on the nature of life."

Abstract
This paper examines the controversial debate over abortion in the United States, as well as the medical aspects of the procedure. The author discusses the difference between induced and spontaneous abortion, alternatives to surgery, the option of adoption, and various abortion rates on a global scale.
From the paper:
"In this day and age, women no longer need to experience giving birth to a child at all. With the legality of abortion, came the option of staying pregnant and giving birth or terminating the pregnancy in the early stages. Abortion is a highly controversial and personal decision. A decision that requires a lot of time for thought. The issue has brought upon a real life tug-of-war match between the pro-lifers and pro-choices. Those who support pro-life beliefs feel that abortion should be abolished and that the laws are too lenient. Those who support pro-choice believe that the decision should lie solely with the mother and laws should not limit her options."

Abstract
This paper discusses abortion, showing all the key themes and issues currently affecting it. The introduction defines terms necessary for the paper such as ?abortion?, ?human life? and ?human person? and gives a history of abortion from ancient until modern times. It then puts forward the arguments of ?pro-life? and ?pro-choice?, focusing on two unusual case studies that turn upside-down commonly held views on when abortion is or is not appropriate - one supporting abortion (a mother who simply did not want a child at her life stage) and another opposing abortion (a woman who was born after her mother was raped). It attempts to show through these examples that it is possible to eloquently argue either for or against abortion but that ultimately it is impossible to determine whether abortion is ?right? or ?wrong? and that each case needs to be judged on its individual merits.
From the Paper
"The Catholic Church also has inconsistencies regarding intra-uterine devices (IUD?s) and its funeral and burial services. Most people believe that IUD?s interfere with the implantation of fertilized ovum in the uterine wall. If this is correct, it means that IUD?s terminate development after conception and therefore after a human person has been formed. This means that, technically, approximately 43% of American women have had an abortion. There have also been burial services and funerals held by the Roman Catholic Church for aborted fetuses. However, this has not generally been the case as fetuses have not been considered full persons by the Church to the extent of being worthy of a formal requiem mass or formal burial service."

Abstract
This paper delves into the legal, ethical and religious aspects surrounding abortion, while also focusing on the feminist view of this hotly-debate topic. The writer of this paper traces the roots of the abortion debate back to Susan B. Anthony. Anthony opposed abortion because the medical procedure, in her time, was unsafe and endangered a woman's health and life. This paper examines how feminists today defend the development of safe and effective birth control as a means to prevent abortion. This paper also looks at the views of various feminist organizations such as Feminists for Life and Feminists Against Abortion. This paper discusses the media's impact in the evolution of the "Pro-Choice" and "Pro-Life" movements. This paper also discusses how the laws regarding legal abortions have changed over the past 40 years. In 1965, all 50 states banned the procedure, with some exceptions. In 1973, The Supreme Court reversed the situation in the case of Roe vs. Wade, declaring most existing state abortion laws unconstitutional. The writer of this paper explores the issue of abortion in various religions, including Judaism and the different Christian sects. While those of the Catholic faith do not believe that abortion is an acceptable solution to undesired pregnancies, they do accept that there may be situations when an abortion must be considered. This paper also touches on the ethical side, where many believe that abortions should only be considered when the life of the mother is at stake. However, shades of grey enter into the picture when other reasons are offered as well, as detailed in this paper.
From the Paper
"Although those of the Catholic faith do not believe that abortion is an acceptable solution to undesired pregnancies, they do accept that there may be situations when an abortion takes place as the outcome of trying to deal with another medical issue. For example, the Church would allow "the doctrine of double effect" if the mother requires a life-saving operation that may possibly end the pregnancy, since it is the first priority to save the woman's life rather than end the pregnancy.
Many Protestant denominations including the Anglicans, Methodists and Quakers have been disinclined to be as strict as the Catholic Church. Frequently, they accept that there are certain occasions when abortion is an unavoidable result of deciding between the "lesser of two evils."
To further complicate the issue, explains Ellingson, there is even disagreement among the Catholics and among the Protestants. "It is not just a Catholic and Protestant Debate."

Abstract
An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy associated with the death of an embryo or a fetus. This paper focuses on induced abortion and argues that a woman has a right to choose whether to have a baby or not. It discusses how legalized abortion will prevent deaths from illegal, unsanitary abortions. It also argues that the civil rights of Canada give freedom to every individual and therefore should give women the right to choose.
From the Paper
"Unwanted pregnancy can result in a horrible life for the child in question. Many people who don't want children and are forced to have them end up being horrible, abusive parents. Why should society hold the burden of forcing a woman to bring an unwanted child into the world? Many cases have occurred where an unwanted child is born and then abused by his parents and therefore ends up living in foster care until he is old enough to get out. It is so ironic that because of society, many unwanted children were born and as a result, these children have become society's problems, but when it comes to taking care of these children who were forced into life, society does not do much to take care of them.

Abstract
This paper covers the different issues in the abortion debate. It covers both sides- pro-choice and pro-life. Although a conclusion is not made, the closing statement reads similar to the beginning. The issues surrounding abortion seem to be questions that must be answered by each individual searching his or her own heart and soul.
From the Paper
"Abortion has been, and probably always will be, a very controversial subject among people of all ages. There are many aspects of the controversy: morality, legality, and safety. Many people ask whether abortion is moral; they question whether it is right or wrong. Others ask whether a woman should be permitted by law to have an abortion and, if so, under what circumstances. There are two sides that directly oppose each other. People who are against abortion label themselves as being ?pro-life." Those who are for women?s choice concerning abortion are described as being ?pro-choice." Safety is another area of controversy. Many question the hazards involved with abortion- emotional and physical. With these three issues, the abortion controversy continues."
