Donald Trump's Arguments Against Abortion

Every year, thousands of women visit abortion clinics to abort her fetus for many reasons. Anti-abortionists may argue that the fetus has the right to life and that abortion is murder, but on the other hand, abortion-rights supporters explain that women have their own reasons for their choice. Many people including authorities, like the president, have their own opinions on abortion. The president of the United States, Trump, attended the annual March for Life, and hinted on his own views of this topic. Also, for the past few years, abortion rates have “fell below one million for the first time since the mid-1970s” (McCammon). These procedures usually have very little consequences, but they are still possible. According to a study, these …show more content…
Many people, including U. S. president, Donald Trump, have own opinions on abortion. “During the [yearly] March for Life, Trump seemed enthusiastic about [this] event” (Peters). He told the anti-abortion marchers that “‘[he is] with [them] all the way” (Peters). The March for Life is an organization that brings together pro-life leaders to show the world that everyone’s lives matter. According to a source, “abortion providers have become a target of the Trump administration and Congress, and they could have serious consequences” (Peters). Lots of anti-abortion advocates try to get rid of abortion clinics to reduce the amount of abortions. They “target abortion providers instead of women” (Filipovic) because “it’s apparently more acceptable to throw doctors in prion for providing care that saves women’s lives every single day” (Filipovic). They believe that the abortion rates would decrease if the number of abortion providers decrease, and they target doctors because the doctors are the ones providing these procedures for the women. Trump would reward health providers that refuse to perform procedures like abortion by “[expanding] religious freedom …show more content…
They have been “pushing bills to limit abortion rights for [more than] twenty years” (Good). One way they tried to limit abortion rights is by “[using] the pain claim to justify bans on abortion beyond twenty weeks after conception” (Guo). Starting at eighteen to twenty weeks, fetuses in the mother’s womb can start responding to pain. In 2015, a law passed the Montana house. After twenty weeks, “doctors [are required] to give fetuses painkillers before aborting them” (Guo). Safety is an important part of abortions. Researchers at University of California San Francisco “analyzed 54,911 [doctors performing] from 2009 to 2010 on women as well as the health care services the women received in the six weeks following the abortion” (Oaklander). At the end of the experiment, “only 2.1% resulted in a complication … [and] fewer than 2% of abortions resulted in a minor complication” (Oaklander). Though the percentages of complications are very small, they are still possible. Back to painkillers, “anesthetics stop a fetus from kicking around, making the operation safer” (Guo). Besides surgical abortion, there are also “medication abortions─a sequence often called the ‘abortion pill’” (Oaklander). However, abortion pills “had the highest rate of complications at 5.2%” (Oaklander). For surgical abortions, “as long as the fetus is alive during the abortion, it will experience
