Generally, supporters of pro-choice argue for the right to choose to terminate a pregnancy. They take into account various factors such as the stage of fetal development, the health of the woman, and the circumstances of the conception. By comparison, the supporters of pro-life generally argue that a fetus is a human being with <a href="/wiki/Natural_rights_and_legal_rights" title="Natural rights and legal rights">inherent rights</a> and <a href="/wiki/Intrinsic_value_(ethics)" title="Intrinsic value (ethics)">intrinsic value</a>, and thus, cannot be overridden by the woman's choice or circumstances and that abortion is morally wrong in most or all cases. Both terms are considered <a href="/wiki/Loaded_word" class="mw-redirect" title="Loaded word">loaded words</a> in mainstream media, where terms such as "<a href="/wiki/Abortion-rights_movement" title="Abortion-rights movement">abortion rights</a>" or "anti-abortion" are generally preferred in order to avoid <a href="/wiki/Bias" title="Bias">bias</a>.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> Each movement has had varying results in influencing public opinion and attaining legal support for its position. Supporters and opponents of abortion often argue that it is essentially a <a href="/wiki/Morality" title="Morality">moral</a> issue, concerning the <a href="/wiki/Beginning_of_human_personhood" title="Beginning of human personhood">beginning of human personhood</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fetal_rights" title="Fetal rights">rights of the fetus</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Bodily_integrity#Women's_rights" title="Bodily integrity">bodily integrity</a>. Additionally, some argue that government involvement in abortion-related decisions, particularly through public funding, raises <a href="/wiki/Ethics" title="Ethics">ethical</a> and political questions. <a href="/wiki/Libertarianism" title="Libertarianism">Libertarians</a>, for example, may oppose taxpayer funding for abortion based on <a href="/wiki/Principle" title="Principle">principles</a> of limited government and personal responsibility, while holding <a href="/wiki/Libertarian_perspectives_on_abortion" title="Libertarian perspectives on abortion">diverse views</a> on the legality of the procedure itself.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> The debate has become a political and legal issue in some countries with those who oppose abortion seeking to enact, maintain, and expand <a href="/wiki/Abortion_law" title="Abortion law">anti-abortion laws</a>, while those who support abortion seek to repeal or ease such laws and expand access to the procedure. Abortion laws vary considerably between jurisdictions, ranging from outright prohibition of the procedure to public funding of abortion. The availability of abortion procedures considered safe also varies across the world and exists mainly in places that legalize abortion.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Abortion_debate&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Overview">edit</a>]</div> In ancient times, issues such as abortion and <a href="/wiki/Infanticide" title="Infanticide">infanticide</a> were evaluated by <a href="/wiki/Patriarchy" title="Patriarchy">patriarchies</a> within the contexts of <a href="/wiki/Family_planning" title="Family planning">family planning</a>, gender selection, population control, and property rights.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> The rights of the prospective mother and child were typically not central to these considerations.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> Ancient discourse often expressed the concerns on the <a href="/wiki/Human_nature" title="Human nature">nature of humankind</a>, the existence of a <a href="/wiki/Soul" title="Soul">soul</a>, when life begins, and the <a href="/wiki/Beginning_of_human_personhood" title="Beginning of human personhood">beginning of human personhood</a>, issues that are still relevant even today.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> Discussion of the presumed <a href="/wiki/Personhood" title="Personhood">personhood</a> of a fetus may be complicated by the current legal status of children. Similar to minors, fetuses and embryos lack certain legal capacities. In many legal systems, a fetus or an embryo does not have the same legal status as a person. They have not reached the age of majority and deemed not able to enter into contracts and to sue or be sued.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> Since the 1860s, they have been treated as persons for the limited purposes of <a href="/wiki/Offence_against_the_person" title="Offence against the person">offence against the person</a> law in the UK including Northern Ireland, although this treatment was amended by the <a href="/wiki/Abortion_Act_1967" title="Abortion Act 1967">Abortion Act of 1967</a> in England, Scotland, and Wales.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> In America, there have been logistical challenges in considering a fetus as a person. Some legal interpretations have argued that if a fetus is considered a person, then it is only under certain conditions as it relies on the body of another person and is usually not the object of direct action by another person.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> In the current debate, proposals range from prohibitions on abortion in all cases, even when the woman’s life is at risk, to calls for complete legalization with provisions for public funding.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Terminology">Terminology</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Abortion_debate&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Terminology">edit</a>]</div> Many of the terms used in the debate are seen as <a href="/wiki/Framing_(social_sciences)" title="Framing (social sciences)">political framing</a>: terms used to validate one's stance while invalidating the opposition's.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> For example, the labels <a href="/wiki/Pro-choice_and_pro-life" title="Pro-choice and pro-life">"pro-choice" and "pro-life"</a> imply widely held values such as <a href="/wiki/Liberty" title="Liberty">liberty</a> or the <a href="/wiki/Right_to_life" title="Right to life">right to life</a>, while suggesting that the opposition must be "anti-choice" or "anti-life".<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> Terms used in the debate to describe their opponents consist of "pro-abortion", "pro-abort"; however, these terms do not always reflect a political view or fall along a binary. Seven in ten Americans described themselves as "pro-choice" while almost two-thirds described themselves as "pro-life".<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> Another identifier in the debate is "abolitionist", which harks back to the 19th-century struggle against human <a href="/wiki/Slavery" title="Slavery">slavery</a>.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> Appeals are often made in the abortion debate to the <a href="/wiki/Rights" title="Rights">rights</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Fetus" title="Fetus">fetus</a>, pregnant woman, or other parties. Such appeals can generate confusion if the type of rights is not specified (whether <a href="/wiki/Civil_rights" class="mw-redirect" title="Civil rights">civil</a>, <a href="/wiki/Natural_rights" class="mw-redirect" title="Natural rights">natural</a>, or otherwise) or if it is simply assumed that the right appealed to takes precedence over all other competing rights (an example of <a href="/wiki/Begging_the_question" title="Begging the question">begging the question</a>). The appropriate terms to designate the human organism before birth are also debated. Some anti-abortion supporters regard the technical terminology "<a href="/wiki/Embryo" title="Embryo">embryo</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Fetus" title="Fetus">fetus</a>" as <a href="/wiki/Dehumanization" title="Dehumanization">dehumanizing</a>,<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> whereas some abortion rights proponents regard ordinary terms such as "<a href="/wiki/Infant" title="Infant">baby</a>" or "<a href="/wiki/Child" title="Child">child</a>" as emotion-inducing.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> The use of the term "baby" to describe the unborn human organism is seen by some scholars as part of an effort to assign the organism agency, functioning to further the construction of <a href="/wiki/Fetal_personhood" class="mw-redirect" title="Fetal personhood">fetal personhood</a>.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> Anti-abortion activists occasionally use the term the "Silent Holocaust" or "the American genocide" about the <a href="/wiki/Abortion_statistics_in_the_United_States" title="Abortion statistics in the United States">number of abortions that have been performed in the United States</a> since 1973.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Political_debate">Political debate</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Abortion_debate&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Political debate">edit</a>]</div> There is abundant debate regarding the extent of abortion regulation by the government. Supporters of abortion rights may argue against the government regulation of abortions, and rather it be treated as routine medical practice.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> From a <a href="/wiki/Compromise" title="Compromise">compromising</a> perspective, both sides may support the permission of the government to prohibit elective abortions after the 20th week, <a href="/wiki/Point_of_fetal_viability" class="mw-redirect" title="Point of fetal viability">viability</a>, or the second <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/trimester" class="extiw" title="wiktionary:trimester">trimester</a>.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Religion has also played a role in the debate. For example, some Christian denominations and groups <a href="/wiki/Christianity_and_abortion" title="Christianity and abortion">generally oppose abortion</a>, believing it more aligns with their <a href="/wiki/Hermeneutics" title="Hermeneutics">interpretation</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Bible" title="Bible">Bible</a>, and because of this may support the prohibition of some or all abortions, starting from conception.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> Those who oppose abortion rights may argue against the procedures and nature of <a href="/wiki/Abortion" title="Abortion">abortion</a>. The two sides of the political debate represent the contentious moral principles in the “sanctity of life” versus “the woman’s right to choose.” <a href="#cite_note-Mucciaroni_2018-29">[29]</a> Abortion debates differ from other public health issues due to complex ethical and legal considerations.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> In popular culture, the American romantic drama dance <a href="/wiki/Film" title="Film">film</a> <a href="/wiki/Dirty_Dancing" title="Dirty Dancing">Dirty Dancing</a> (1987) was a clear and unapologetic argument for reproductive choice, called by abortion rights advocates the "golden standard" for cinematic portrayals of abortion.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a><a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a><a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Debates_in_North_America">Debates in North America</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Abortion_debate&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Debates in North America">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="United_States">United States</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Abortion_debate&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: United States">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="The_Dobbs_decision">The Dobbs decision</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Abortion_debate&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: The Dobbs decision">edit</a>]</div> As an example of political decisions concerning the abortion debate, in the recent years following the <a href="/wiki/Dobbs_v._Jackson_Women%27s_Health_Organization" title="Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization">Dobbs</a> ruling, state governments have been granted political authority over abortion access and resources. The <a href="/wiki/Framing_(social_sciences)" title="Framing (social sciences)">issue-framing</a> and <a href="/wiki/Policy_making" class="mw-redirect" title="Policy making">policy-making</a> aspects vary from each perspective and interest but ultimately form the strategic decisions for legislators for support or opposition to their efforts.<a href="#cite_note-Mucciaroni_2018-29">[29]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Dobbs_v._Jackson_Women%27s_Health_Organization" title="Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization">Dobbs</a> decision allows other debates to form over several different concepts in other state legislature concerning the terms "privacy" and "liberty interests"<a href="#cite_note-Lazzarini_2022-34">[34]</a> Which those cases have determined the foundation of <a href="/wiki/Doctor%E2%80%93patient_relationship" title="Doctor–patient relationship">clinician-patient</a> relationships and private medical decisions. Abortion decisions bring focus onto other state efforts corresponding to abortion, such as limiting access to medication abortions, preventing third parties from assisting anyone seeking an abortion, or punishing women who end their pregnancies.<a href="#cite_note-Lazzarini_2022-34">[34]</a> While evaluating the Dobbs ruling, the Court had determined the importance of the opposing factors of "respect for and preservation of prenatal life at all stages...; the protection of maternal health and safety; the elimination of particularly gruesome or barbaric medical procedures;... integrity of the medical profession; the mitigation of fetal pain, and the prevention of discrimination based on race, sex, or disability."<a href="#cite_note-Lazzarini_2022-34">[34]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Privacy">Privacy</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Abortion_debate&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Privacy">edit</a>]</div> In the United States, the debate has been framed as an aspect of privacy. Even though the <a href="/wiki/Privacy_law" title="Privacy law">right to privacy</a> is not explicitly stated in many constitutions of sovereign nations, many people see it as foundational to a functioning democracy. In general, the right to privacy can be found to rest on the provisions of <a href="/wiki/Habeas_corpus" title="Habeas corpus">habeas corpus</a>, which first found official expression under Henry II in 11th century England, but has precedent in Anglo-Saxon law. This provision guarantees the right to freedom from arbitrary government interference, as well as due process of law.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] This conception of the right to privacy is established in all countries which have adopted <a href="/wiki/English_common_law" class="mw-redirect" title="English common law">English common law</a> through Acts of Reception.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The <a href="/wiki/Law_of_the_United_States" title="Law of the United States">law of the United States</a> rests on English common law by this means. <a href="/wiki/Time_(magazine)" title="Time (magazine)">Time</a> has stated that the issue of bodily <a href="/wiki/Privacy" title="Privacy">privacy</a> is "the core" of the abortion debate.<a href="#cite_note-Time-35">[35]</a> Time defined privacy, concerning abortion, as the ability of a woman to "decide what happens to her own body".<a href="#cite_note-Time-35">[35]</a> In political terms, privacy can be understood as a condition in which one is not observed or disturbed by government.<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> Traditionally, American courts have located the <a href="/wiki/Privacy_laws_of_the_United_States" title="Privacy laws of the United States">right to privacy</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution">Fourth Amendment</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ninth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution">Ninth Amendment</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fourteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution">Fourteenth Amendment</a>, as well as the penumbra of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Bill_of_Rights" title="United States Bill of Rights">Bill of Rights</a>. The landmark decision <a href="/wiki/Roe_v_Wade" class="mw-redirect" title="Roe v Wade">Roe v Wade</a> relied on the 14th Amendment, which guarantees that federal rights shall be applied equally to all persons born in the United States. The 14th Amendment has given rise to the doctrine of <a href="/wiki/Substantive_due_process" title="Substantive due process">Substantive due process</a>, which is said to guarantee various privacy rights, including the right to <a href="/wiki/Bodily_integrity#Women's_rights" title="Bodily integrity">bodily integrity</a>. While governments are allowed to invade the privacy of their citizens in some cases, they are expected to protect privacy in all cases lacking a <a href="/wiki/Strict_scrutiny" title="Strict scrutiny">compelling state interest</a>. In the US, the compelling state interest test has been developed per the standards of strict scrutiny. In Roe v Wade, the Court decided that the state has an "important and legitimate interest in protecting the potentiality of human life" from the point of viability on, but that before viability, the woman's fundamental rights are more compelling than that of the state. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Roevwade.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Roevwade.jpg/220px-Roevwade.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="153" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Roevwade.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="300" data-file-height="208" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Albert_Wynn" title="Albert Wynn">Albert Wynn</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gloria_Feldt" title="Gloria Feldt">Gloria Feldt</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States" title="Supreme Court of the United States">U.S. Supreme Court</a> to rally in support of Roe v.

Anti-abortion supporters argue that abortion is morally wrong on the basis that a fetus is an innocent <a href="/wiki/Human" title="Human">human</a> <a href="/wiki/Person" title="Person">person</a><a href="#cite_note-Warren_1991-77">[77]</a> or because a fetus is a potential life that will, in most cases, develop into a fully functional human being.<a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a> They believe that a fetus is a person upon conception. Others reject this position by distinguishing between human being and human person, arguing that while the fetus is innocent and biologically human, it is not a person with a right to life.<a href="#cite_note-79">[79]</a> In support of this distinction, some propose a list of criteria as markers of <a href="/wiki/Personhood" title="Personhood">personhood</a>. For example, <a href="/wiki/Mary_Ann_Warren" class="mw-redirect" title="Mary Ann Warren">Mary Ann Warren</a> suggests <a href="/wiki/Consciousness" title="Consciousness">consciousness</a> (at least the capacity to feel pain), <a href="/wiki/Reasoning" class="mw-redirect" title="Reasoning">reasoning</a>, self-motivation, the ability to <a href="/wiki/Communication" title="Communication">communicate</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Self-awareness" title="Self-awareness">self-awareness</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Warren_1991-77">[77]</a> According to Warren, a being need not exhibit all of these criteria to qualify as a person with a right to life, but if a being exhibits none of them (or perhaps only one), then it is certainly not a person. Warren concludes that as the fetus satisfies only one criterion, consciousness (and this only after it becomes <a href="/wiki/Fetal_pain" class="mw-redirect" title="Fetal pain">susceptible to pain</a>),<a href="#cite_note-Warren_1991-77">[77]</a> the fetus is not a person and abortion is therefore morally permissible. Other philosophers apply similar criteria, concluding that a fetus lacks a right to life because it lacks <a href="/wiki/Neural_oscillation" title="Neural oscillation">brain waves</a> or higher brain function,<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> self-consciousness,<a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a> rationality,<a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a> and autonomy.<a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a> These lists diverge over precisely which features confer a right to life,<a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a> but tend to propose various developed psychological or physiological features not found in fetuses. Critics of this typically argue that some of the proposed criteria for personhood would disqualify two classes of born human beings – reversibly <a href="/wiki/Comatose" class="mw-redirect" title="Comatose">comatose</a> patients, and human infants – from having a right to life, since they, like fetuses, are not self-conscious, do not communicate, and so on.<a href="#cite_note-85">[85]</a> Defenders of the proposed criteria may respond that the reversibly comatose do satisfy the relevant criteria because they "retain all their unconscious mental states".<a href="#cite_note-86">[86]</a> or at least some higher brain function (brain waves). Warren concedes that infants are not "persons" by her proposed criteria,<a href="#cite_note-Warren_1991-77">[77]</a> and on that basis, she and others, including the moral philosopher <a href="/wiki/Peter_Singer" title="Peter Singer">Peter Singer</a>, conclude that <a href="/wiki/Infanticide" title="Infanticide">infanticide</a> could be morally acceptable under some circumstances (for example if the infant is severely disabled<a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a> or to save the lives of several other infants.<a href="#cite_note-88">[88]</a> An alternative approach is to base personhood or the right to life on a being's natural or inherent capacities. On this approach, a being <a href="/wiki/Essential_property" class="mw-redirect" title="Essential property">essentially</a> has a right to life if it has a natural capacity to develop the relevant psychological features; and, since human beings do have this natural capacity, they essentially have a right to life beginning at <a href="/wiki/Conception_(biology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Conception (biology)">conception</a> (or whenever they come into existence).<a href="#cite_note-89">[89]</a> Critics of this position argue that mere genetic potential is not a plausible basis for respect (or for the right to life), and that basing a right to life on natural capacities would lead to the counterintuitive position that <a href="/wiki/Anencephaly" title="Anencephaly">anencephalic</a> infants, irreversibly comatose patients, and brain-dead patients kept alive on a <a href="/wiki/Medical_ventilator" class="mw-redirect" title="Medical ventilator">medical ventilator</a>, are all persons with a right to life.<a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a> Respondents to this criticism argue that the noted human cases in fact would not be classified as persons as they do not have a natural capacity to develop any psychological features.<a href="#cite_note-91">[91]</a><a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a><a href="#cite_note-93">[93]</a> Also, in a view that favors benefiting even unconceived but <a href="/wiki/Potential_person" title="Potential person">potential future persons</a>, it has been argued as justified to abort an <a href="/wiki/Unintended_pregnancy" title="Unintended pregnancy">unintended pregnancy</a> in favor for conceiving a new child later in better conditions.<a href="#cite_note-94">[94]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Pro-Life_Demonstration_at_Supreme_Court.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/Pro-Life_Demonstration_at_Supreme_Court.jpg/220px-Pro-Life_Demonstration_at_Supreme_Court.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/Pro-Life_Demonstration_at_Supreme_Court.jpg/330px-Pro-Life_Demonstration_at_Supreme_Court.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/Pro-Life_Demonstration_at_Supreme_Court.jpg/440px-Pro-Life_Demonstration_at_Supreme_Court.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1704" data-file-height="1278" /></a><figcaption>Members of <a href="/wiki/Bound4LIFE" class="mw-redirect" title="Bound4LIFE">Bound4LIFE</a> in <a href="/wiki/Washington,_D.C." title="Washington, D.C.">Washington, D.C.</a> symbolically cover their mouths with red tape.</figcaption></figure> Philosophers such as <a href="/wiki/Aquinas" class="mw-redirect" title="Aquinas">Aquinas</a> use the concept of <a href="/wiki/Individuation" title="Individuation">individuation</a>.

Thomson's variant of this argument draws an analogy between forcing a woman to continue an unwanted pregnancy and forcing a person to allow his body to be used to maintain blood <a href="/wiki/Homeostasis" title="Homeostasis">homeostasis</a> (as a <a href="/wiki/Kidney_dialysis" title="Kidney dialysis">dialysis</a> machine is used) for another person with <a href="/wiki/Kidney_failure" title="Kidney failure">kidney failure</a>. It is argued that just as it would be permissible to "unplug" and thereby cause the death of the person who is using one's kidneys, so it is permissible to abort the fetus (who similarly, it is said, has no right to use one's body's life-support functions against one's will).<a href="#cite_note-96">[96]</a> Critics of this argument generally argue that there are morally relevant disanalogies between abortion and the kidney failure scenario. For example, it is argued that the fetus is the woman's child as opposed to a mere stranger;<a href="#cite_note-97">[97]</a> that abortion kills the fetus rather than merely letting it die;<a href="#cite_note-98">[98]</a> and that in the case of pregnancy arising from voluntary intercourse, the woman has either tacitly consented to the fetus using her body,<a href="#cite_note-Warren_1991-77">[77]</a> or has to allow it to use her body since she is responsible for its need to use her body.<a href="#cite_note-99">[99]</a> Some writers defend the analogy against these objections, arguing that the disanalogies are morally irrelevant or do not apply to abortion in the way critics have claimed.<a href="#cite_note-100">[100]</a> Alternative scenarios have been put forth as more accurate and realistic representations of the moral issues present in abortion. <a href="/wiki/John_T._Noonan_Jr." title="John T.

Noonan argues that just as it would not be permissible to refuse temporary accommodation for the guest to protect him from physical harm, it would not be permissible to refuse temporary accommodation for a fetus.<a href="#cite_note-101">[101]</a> Other critics claim that there is a difference between artificial and extraordinary means of preservation, such as medical treatment, kidney dialysis, and blood transfusions, and normal and natural means of preservation, such as gestation, childbirth, and breastfeeding. They argue that if a baby was born into an environment in which there was no replacement available for her mother's breast milk, and the baby would either breastfeed or starve, the mother would have to allow the baby to breastfeed. But the mother would never have to give the baby a blood transfusion, no matter what the circumstances were. The difference between breastfeeding in that scenario and blood transfusions is the difference between using one's body as a kidney dialysis machine, and gestation and childbirth.<a href="#cite_note-102">[102]</a><a href="#cite_note-103">[103]</a><a href="#cite_note-104">[104]</a><a href="#cite_note-105">[105]</a><a href="#cite_note-106">[106]</a><a href="#cite_note-107">[107]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Freedom_and_equality">Freedom and equality</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Abortion_debate&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Freedom and equality">edit</a>]</div> <a href="/wiki/Margaret_Sanger" title="Margaret Sanger">Margaret Sanger</a> wrote: "No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother."

(March 2023)</div></td></tr></tbody></table> A number of opinion polls around the world have explored public opinion regarding the issue of abortion. Results have varied from poll to poll, country to country, and region to region, while varying with regard to different aspects of the issue. In North America, a December 2001 poll surveyed <a href="/wiki/Abortion_in_Canada#Opinion_polls" title="Abortion in Canada">Canadian opinion on abortion</a>, asking in what circumstances they believe abortion should be permitted; 32% responded that they believe abortion should be legal in all circumstances, 52% that it should be legal in certain circumstances, and 14% that it should be legal in no circumstances. A similar poll in April 2009 surveyed people in the United States about <a href="/wiki/Abortion_in_the_United_States#Public_opinion" title="Abortion in the United States">U.S. opinion on abortion</a>; 18% said that abortion should be "legal in all cases", 28% said that abortion should be "legal in most cases", 28% said abortion should be "illegal in most cases" and 16% said abortion should be "illegal in all cases".<a href="#cite_note-156">[156]</a> A November 2005 poll in Mexico found that 73.4% think abortion should not be legalized while 11.2% think it should be.<a href="#cite_note-157">[157]</a> A May 2005 survey examined attitudes toward abortion in 10 European countries, asking respondents whether they agreed with the statement, "If a woman doesn't want children, she should be allowed to have an abortion". The highest level of approval was 81% (in the Czech Republic); the lowest was 47% (in Poland).<a href="#cite_note-158">[158]</a> In 2019, 58% of Poles supported abortion on request up to the 12th week of pregnancy.<a href="#cite_note-159">[159]</a> A 2021 study showed that abortion providers faced discrimination and termination in the workplace, death threats, harassment, and impacts to their private and personal lives for them and their families. The same study shows that the providers continue to work in the field due to their commitment to women’s health and pro-choice cause.<a href="#cite_note-160">[160]</a> As of 2022, after the overturn of Roe vs Wade by the Supreme Court, a Wall Street Journal poll conducted in March showed that 60% of voters believed that abortion should be legal in most cases, an increase of 5% earlier in the year. 29% of participates believed it should be illegal in most cases, except for endangerment of the woman, rape, or incest. Lastly, 6% said it should be illegal in all cases, down from 11% earlier that same year.<a href="#cite_note-161">[161]</a> A 2024 Pew Research Center poll reported 63% of Americans believed abortion should be legal in all or most cases. The poll found that the share of Americans living in states with abortion bans or restrictions who believe abortions should be easier to access has increased by 12%.<a href="#cite_note-162">[162]</a> This poll found little difference based on gender (61% of men generally supportive vs 64% of women) with education and especially religious affiliation being better predictive factors. It also shows that younger people tend to be more positive towards abortion with the 50-64 group being the most negative. African countries have different views based on region and cultural influences. In Kenya, both male and female opinions show that abortion is frowned upon, due to embedded social norms that stem from religious and cultural beliefs. While younger generations are starting to normalize abortions, limited access to procedure, high costs, and lack of information still leads to unsafe abortion practices.<a href="#cite_note-163">[163]</a> In Nigeria, the abortion laws are even stricter. Rather than being ostracized by the community, abortion in Nigeria can lead to life imprisonment for both the abortion seekers and those who assist them. The country’s government has outlawed abortion in all cases except to save the life of the pregnant person. In a survey of women, many cited religion, incomplete abortion, future infertility, and death as a fear when seeking abortion in Nigeria.<a href="#cite_note-164">[164]</a> Of attitudes in South America, a December 2003 survey found that 30% of Argentines thought that <a href="/wiki/Abortion_in_Argentina" title="Abortion in Argentina">abortion in Argentina</a> should be allowed "regardless of situation", 47% that it should be allowed "under some circumstances", and 23% that it should not be allowed "regardless of situation".<a href="#cite_note-165">[165]</a> A more recent poll now suggest that 45% of Argentinians are in favor of abortion for any reason in the first twelve weeks. This same poll conducted in September 2011 also suggests that most Argentinians favor abortion being legal when a woman's health or life is at risk (81%), when the pregnancy is a result of rape (80%) or the fetus has severe abnormalities (68%).<a href="#cite_note-166">[166]</a> A March 2007 poll regarding the <a href="/wiki/Abortion_in_Brazil" title="Abortion in Brazil">abortion law in Brazil</a> found that 65% of Brazilians believe that it "should not be modified", 16% that it should be expanded "to allow abortion in other cases", 10% that abortion should be "decriminalized", and 5% were "not sure".<a href="#cite_note-167">[167]</a> Later a poll made in September 2022 found that the 70% of Brazilians where against abortions, 20% where in favor of it, 8% where neither in favor or against it, and 2% didn't know what to answer.<a href="#cite_note-168">[168]</a> A July 2005 poll in <a href="/wiki/Colombia" title="Colombia">Colombia</a> found that 65.6% said they thought that abortion should remain illegal, 26.9% that it should be made legal, and 7.5% that they were unsure.<a href="#cite_note-169">[169]</a> The attitudes in Asia vary. More secular parts of Asia such as Japan and Taiwan are more likely to favor abortion, and more religious parts such as Pakistan and Indonesia are more likely to oppose abortion. Other countries, such as China, are in between but still slightly favoring abortion. A worldwide survey conducted in 2022 reported that 14% of Chinese thought that <a href="/wiki/Abortion_in_China" title="Abortion in China">abortion in China</a> should be "legal in all cases", 34% that it should be "legal in most cases", 20% that it should be "illegal in most cases", and 13% that it should be "illegal in all cases", with 20% that did not respond. The same survey reported that 17% of Japanese thought that <a href="/wiki/Abortion_in_Japan" title="Abortion in Japan">abortion in Japan</a> should be "legal in all cases", 32% that it should be "legal in most cases", only 7% that it should be "illegal in most cases", and a very small minority of 2% that it should be "illegal in all cases", with an overwhelming 43% that did not respond. The survey also reported that 14% of Malaysians thought that <a href="/wiki/Abortion_in_Malaysia" title="Abortion in Malaysia">abortion in Malaysia</a> should be "legal in all cases", 18% that it should be "legal in most cases", 25% that it should be "illegal in most cases", and 20% that it should be "illegal in all cases", with 23% that did not respond, amounting to almost half the population with a negative view of abortion.<a href="#cite_note-170">[170]</a> According to global surveys in 2023 and 2024, the right to access legal abortion is widely supported. There is particularly strong widespread support for legal abortion in Europe.<a href="#cite_note-171">[171]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Effect_upon_crime_rate">Effect upon crime rate</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Abortion_debate&action=edit&section=35" title="Edit section: Effect upon crime rate">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Legalized_abortion_and_crime_effect" title="Legalized abortion and crime effect">Legalized abortion and crime effect</a></div> A theory attempts to draw a correlation between the United States' unprecedented nationwide decline of the overall crime rate during the 1990s and the decriminalization of abortion 20 years prior.

Levitt</a> and John Donohue. They attributed the drop in crime to a reduction in individuals said to have a higher statistical probability of committing crimes: unwanted children, especially those born to mothers who are African American, impoverished, <a href="/wiki/Teenage_pregnancy" title="Teenage pregnancy">adolescent</a>, uneducated, and <a href="/wiki/Single_parent" title="Single parent">single</a>. The change coincided with what would have been the adolescence, or peak years of potential criminality, of those who had not been born as a result of Roe v Wade and similar cases. Donohue and Levitt's study also noted that states which legalized abortion before the rest of the nation experienced the lowering crime rate pattern earlier, and those with higher abortion rates had more pronounced reductions.<a href="#cite_note-172">[172]</a> Fellow economists Christopher Foote and Christopher Goetz criticized the methodology in the Donohue-Levitt study, noting a lack of accommodation for statewide yearly variations such as cocaine use, and recalculating based on incidence of crime per capita; they found no <a href="/wiki/Statistically_significant" class="mw-redirect" title="Statistically significant">statistically significant</a> results.<a href="#cite_note-173">[173]</a> Levitt and Donohue responded to this by presenting an adjusted <a href="/wiki/Data_set" title="Data set">data set</a> which took into account these concerns and reported that the data maintained the statistical significance of their initial paper.<a href="#cite_note-174">[174]</a> Such research has been criticized by some as being <a href="/wiki/Utilitarianism" title="Utilitarianism">utilitarian</a>, discriminatory as to race and socioeconomic class, and as promoting <a href="/wiki/Eugenics" title="Eugenics">eugenics</a> as a solution to crime.<a href="#cite_note-175">[175]</a><a href="#cite_note-176">[176]</a> Levitt states in his book <a href="/wiki/Freakonomics" title="Freakonomics">Freakonomics</a> that they are neither promoting nor negating any course of action—merely reporting data as economists. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Breast_cancer_hypothesis">Breast cancer hypothesis</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Abortion_debate&action=edit&section=36" title="Edit section: Breast cancer hypothesis">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Abortion%E2%80%93breast_cancer_hypothesis" title="Abortion–breast cancer hypothesis">Abortion–breast cancer hypothesis</a></div> The abortion–breast cancer hypothesis posits that induced abortion may increase the risk of developing breast cancer.<a href="#cite_note-177">[177]</a> This 1980's paper actually contrasts with other scientific data that abortion is not related causality with breast cancer occurrence.<a href="#cite_note-178">[178]</a><a href="#cite_note-179">[179]</a><a href="#cite_note-180">[180]</a> The hypothesis suggests that during early pregnancy, levels of <a href="/wiki/Estrogen" title="Estrogen">estrogen</a> increase, leading to breast growth in preparation for <a href="/wiki/Lactation" title="Lactation">lactation</a>, and if this process is interrupted by an abortion – before full maturity in the third trimester – then more relatively vulnerable immature cells could be left than there were prior to the pregnancy, resulting in a greater potential risk of breast cancer.

The parents or guardians of the pregnant person must be consulted before an abortion is to be induced legally. States with these laws generally have different degrees of involvement and enforcement. A judge can be consulted to overrule a parent in the event the pregnant person is denied abortion services. Studies have shown that these the required notification laws have not affected the probability that teenagers will engage in sexual activity or the demand for abortion.<a href="#cite_note-Medoff_2013-185">[185]</a> The rate of abortions for minors decreases in states with parental involvement laws by nearly 13 to 22 percent, however, it raises the rate for out-of-state abortions such in the case of Mississippi and Missouri.<a href="#cite_note-Medoff_2013-185">[185]</a><a href="#cite_note-Medoff_2010-117">[117]</a> Teenagers are shown to seek abortion across state lines to areas with less restrictive abortion laws to bypass these preventative methods. In the United States, 37 states require the parent to have knowledge while only 21 of those states need one parent to consent.<a href="#cite_note-Guttmacher_2016-186">[186]</a> Certain states have an alternative answer to the involvement of the parent by getting the judicial system involved with a judicial bypass. In those states, minors can get permission from the judge if parents are not willing to do so or if they are absent from their lives.<a href="#cite_note-Guttmacher_2016-186">[186]</a> There are different guidelines for minors and abortions in every country. In most of Europe, all persons that are capable of judgment enjoy <a href="/wiki/Medical_privacy" title="Medical privacy">medical privacy</a> and can decide medical matters on their own. The capability of judgment does not come at a defined age, however, and is dependent on how well the person is able to understand the decision and its consequences. For most medical procedures, the capability of judgment usually sets in at ages 12 to 14. Parental involvement is one of the most common methods of restricting abortion, along with Medicaid funding restrictions, mandatory delay laws, licensing fees for abortion providers, and mandatory counseling laws.<a href="#cite_note-Medoff_2010-117">[117]</a> Economist <a href="/wiki/Marshall_Medoff" title="Marshall Medoff">Marshall Medoff</a> has argued that parental involvement laws are largely ineffective at reducing abortion demands.

You wake up in the morning and find yourself back to back in bed with an unconscious violinist. A famous unconscious violinist. He has been found to have a fatal kidney ailment, and the Society of Music Lovers has canvassed all the available medical records and found that you alone have the right blood type to help. They have therefore kidnapped you, and last night the violinist's circulatory system was plugged into yours, so that your kidneys can be used to extract poisons from his blood as well as your own. The director of the hospital now tells you, 'Look, we're sorry the Society of Music Lovers did this to you—we would never have permitted it if we had known. But still, they did it, and the violinist is now plugged into you. To unplug you would be to kill him. But never mind, it's only for nine months. By then he will have recovered from his ailment, and can safely be unplugged from you.' Is it morally incumbent on you to accede to this situation?</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Philosophy+%26+Public+Affairs&rft.atitle=A+Defense+of+Abortion&rft.volume=1&rft.issue=1&rft.pages=47-66&rft.date=1971&rft.aulast=Jarvis+Thomson&rft.aufirst=Judith&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fspot.colorado.edu%2F~heathwoo%2FPhil160%2CFall02%2Fthomson.htm&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAbortion+debate" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-97"><a href="#cite_ref-97">^</a> Schwarz 1990; McMahan 2002 </li> <li id="cite_note-98"><a href="#cite_ref-98">^</a> Schwarz 1990; McMahan 2002; P.
