One of the main arguments in regards to abortion is that abortion is murder. Some people believe that even if a baby has not yet been born and a woman has an abortion, an innocent baby has been murdered. According to the Federal Unborn Victims of Violence Act, any person who is “intentionally attempting to kill” an unborn baby is to be punished (Public Law, 2004). Other individuals use the Roe v. Wade to support their case. In 1973, Roe V. Wade came to be recognized, which allowed for all women to make their own medical decisions and to be accountable for abortions in that each woman should have the right to choose what happens to her body (Planned Parenthood, 2016). In addition, it is unclear to many individuals when life actually begins. Some women testify to having an abortion due to concerns with their personal health. However although some women may be serious when they say they are having an abortion due to personal health reasons, 92% of healthy women have abortions performed on their healthy children (Schwarzwalder, 2016). To make abortion even more complicated, aside from the questions as to whether or not abortion is considered murder or when life actually begins, it creates a psychological concern for the mother. The mother may not even be aware of the action she took in having an abortion, and it may not have a psychological effect on her until later in life. A woman cannot have an abortion and expect not to have any negative psychological effects at some point during her life. In one study that was completed, it was found that after eight short weeks of having an abortion, 44% of the women admitted to having nervous disorders, 36% had disturbed sleep, and 11% had already been prescribed medication to help them cope with the psychological effects of their abortion (AfterAbortion, 2011). Overall, 81% of the women in this study experienced negative mental
