- 171: Existentialism
- ... a baby is killed before it has a chance to see the light of life, what questions and choices does it have? We may find many of our fellow humans partaking in the act of abortion. While existentialists believe that every human seeks meaning during a time of fear and worry, they cannot fully delve into the worries about abortion. As every person that actually does have an abortion is human, all humans are, as was stated before, unique. Each has a reason for their choices, which are, according to existentialists, free choices. The choices we have, as spectators, is to make a ...
- 172: Woman's Right to Choose
- Woman's Right to Choose Abortion has been one of this country's most controversial topic on hand. But if one sees the constitutional infringement to women by the restriction of abortion, the torment to the unwanted child and the anguish society has to sustain,then this topic would not be so debatable. Too many people do not see the cause and effect of not being able ... disrupt a woman's pursuit of happiness. Even if she decides to give it up for adoption, she still has the burden of carrying the fetus for nine months. Having the option to perform an abortion can solve that obstacle. Taking away this right would be invading on a woman's constitutional liberty. The unwanted child also suffers. Most of the time the mother of the unwanted child is very ...
- 173: Hills Like White Elephants: The Symbolism of the Setting
- ... In Ernest Hemingway's story "Hills Like White Elephants" an American couple is sitting at a table in a train station in Spain. They are discussing beer, travel, and whether or not to have an abortion. The train station and its surroundings are symbolic in this story. The station itself represents the choice on whether or not to have the abortion. There is a set of tracks on either side of the station, each representing one of the choices. On one side of the station, the tracks run through a lush, green landscape full of grainfields and trees. A wide river runs lazily in the foreground of some tall mountains. It is almost like a paradise. This side of the station symbolizes the choice of going through with the abortion. As it is now they travel all around the world, drinking and staying in hotels, and seeing all the beautiful places in the world. They have no responsibilities or schedules in their life. With ...
- 174: Hemmingway-hills Like White El
- ... was one of the best users of symbols and images. In the story Hills Like White Elephants, he has hidden symbols behind almost everything in the story. The main symbol in this story is the abortion. This is known in the story as the simple operation. The whole story is about this couple that is considering an abortion. Each little part of the abortion is another symbol. The white elephants showed something they didn t want, in this case the baby. Even the smallest things, like the alcohol, symbolized old ways (beer) and something new (Anes del Toro) ...
- 175: Abortions
- ... and I am a freshman male at the University of Florida. It has come to my attention that our wonderful state has done something terrible. That something is the allowance of abortions. What is an abortion you might ask? Well it is the termination of a pregnancy, or the killing of a baby, to be simply put. This issue has split our country for years, and I think that we as a state should step and make an example to the rest of the world and stop abortions. It is nearly impossible anymore to find someone who doesn’t have an opinion about abortion. Yet the endless debates on the topic usually go nowhere, leaving the opponents even more stuck to their positions, and the open-minded observers even more confused, but both sides have a good case. For ... can come up with is the total ban of abortions altogether. This task should not be a hard one, but it might take some time. My plan calls for the closing and the illegalizing of abortion clinics, and the prosecution of people who perform these deeds. As with any big descion we must consider the opposing views. One reason that the debate on what we should do about abortions doesn’ ...
- 176: A Medical And Moral Look At Ectopic Pregnancy
- ... of methotrexate may not always be the choice of the doctors. It can also be a decision made by the couple in order to avoid the use of an agent that is used in an abortion. The use of the injection is considered to be an abortion by most standards. Its purpose is to terminate the pregnancy. This surgery is not without risks but it is often the best choice if one is making a morally just choice. Once the recovery is ... unbearable event to handle. The moral ethics involved with the treatment of an ectopic pregnancy deal with the couples choice of treatment. Some do define the use of surgery on an ectopic pregnancy as an abortion, but the Catholic Right to Life organization usually accepts a “life of the mother” exception to the law that forbids abortion. The Catholic Right to Life is an organization that compiles church teachings as ...
- 177: Saving The Animals?
- ... not what he had wanted; the medical community was outraged and the people who believed in the right to choose strengthened their resolve. This quote by Dr. Henry Morgentaler, the country’s best-known pro-abortion crusader, illustrates this point very accurately. "This is a sign of the moral bankruptcy of the so-called pro-life movement. It bespeaks their frustration and rage at the fact that they have not been ... is a perfect example of this statement. In both cases the activist takes matters into their own hands. They believe that by taking the lives of “wrong doers” they will help the innocent. In the abortion doctor’s case the assassin believes he will help the innocent fetus. The bomber believes that by killing people and eliminating a meat-processing plant, animals will be saved. The major problem with this way ... can not be achieved through causing pain and suffering to the opposing party.

- 178: Euthanasia
- ... make that choice, it is hard toenvision where the exercise of arbitrary and intrusive power by the state can be halted."10 Reinhardt's analysis relies heavily on language drawn from U.S. Supreme Court abortion case, Roe v. Wade, because the issues have "compelling similarities," he wrote. Like the decision of whether or not to have an abortion, the decision how and when to die is one of "the most intimate and personal choices a person may make in a lifetime," a choice "central to personal dignity and autonomy."11 On April 2 ... and no reporting requirements. How much safer would it be if laws such as those in Oregon were in place nationwide? Can the debate over legalization of Euthanasia be compared to the debate over legalizing abortion? Wasn't the main reason for legalizing abortion because it was being done anyway. People still had access to abortion, it was just being done terribly. We're in exactly the same situation today. ...
- 179: Sex Education In The Classroom
- Ignorance of sex education has left our world suffering from a variety of venereal diseases, abortion, neglected children, and sadly enough, even death.

- 180: Hemingways Hills Like White El
- ... Like White Elephants, the two main characters, Jig and the unnamed American man, are at a train station in Spain trying to decide whether or not they (actually just Jig) should go through with an abortion. The first time I read the story it wasn t very clear to me what type of an operation it was that they were talking about. Hemingway doesn t really spell it out for the reader. After reading the questions at the end of the text and reading over the story again I realized that the operation they were talking about was in fact an abortion. Although Hemingway provides very little information about the character s situation or their pasts, the use of symbolism in the character s dialogue throughout the story makes it a whole lot easier to understand. The ... all. He sounds like he s bullshitting. Then afterwards he starts telling her that he doesn t mind if she chooses to have the kid. It s obvious that he wants her to have the abortion so they could continue traveling. Hemingway illustrates that this couple travels quite often on page 447 when the American looks at the bags with the labels on them from all the hotels they had ...
