Induction Abortion And Extraction

Superior Essays
There are about 250 million pregnancies annually around the world. Research shows that almost one-third are accidental and one-fifth are terminated. That is 50,000,000 lives gone each year. Medical author, Suzanne R. Trupin, MD, says more than 40% of women will terminate their pregnancy within their reproductive life. Abortion has been a heated topic for years. Not many people really understand what abortion is. Abortion is terminating a pregnancy by removing the fetus or embryo from the womb before the fetus or embryo has a chance of survival. However, a spontaneous abortion is also known as a miscarriage. The term ‘abortion’ is most commonly used when the abortion is caused purposely, not accidentally. Although abortion is not agreed with, …show more content…
There are only 2 procedures that can be done during the third trimester and that is Induction Abortion and Dilation and Extraction. A dilation and extraction abortion is done after 21 weeks of gestation. It is also known as D&X, Intact D&X, Intrauterine Cranial Decompression and Partial Birth Abortion. There are currently 31 states in which abortion is illegal and those states consist of Arizona, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The other 19 states have limitations with the abortions. However, Hawaii has no regulations against abortions. In many states, the mother has to have a mandatory ultrasound, counseling and there is no waiting period. If it is a teen wishing for an abortion, some states require at least one parent to be informed or at least one parent’s …show more content…
In the same fashion, children should not be brought into a world where they are not wanted and not properly cared for. Child care requires a huge amount of responsibility and, of course, money. If a woman is raped, she should not have to carry through with a pregnancy that she was forced with. This is why I believe states should decide to make abortion legal or illegal in their territory. The federal government should only intervene when the states refuse to protect the rights of the unborn. However, I do think that there should be certain conditions that apply. If a state should decide to legalize abortion, they must do the abortion in the first trimester. Second or third trimester abortions should not be allowed due to the fact that at this time in the pregnancy the baby is almost fully developed. For teens, parent consent should be required. Equally important, a 24 hour waiting period and mandatory counseling should be mandatory for all who seek an abortion. There is an ongoing battle between state and the government, but as of now, I believe the states should decide for

    One of today’s most controversial topics, concerns whether a woman has the right to end late term pregnancies through abortion. Specifically, whether it is morally permissible for women to receive abortions in the third trimester. In this paper, we will discuss both sides of the argument for “pro” and “anti” groups on whether it is permissible to have a third trimester abortion. To elaborate on what the third trimester entail is, the third trimester is considered to between weeks 24-40. When women receive abortions in this trimester is it usually too late to use medicine to abort the fetus, so often women will have an intact dilation and extraction abortion (Munson & Ian, 2016, p. 457).…

    The controversial abortion case, Roe vs Wade, has recently celebrated its 42nd birthday but despite its age, the case is far from out-of-date and irrelevant. Abortion is still a hot-button topic; maybe even more than it was in 1973. People opposed to abortion make outrageous arguments against the medical procedure; arguments that liken the practical, safe, and often necessary operation to genocide. But these people and the government seem to have conveniently forgotten - or ignored – that other than personal morality, there really is not a reason that abortions are a negative thing or that people should not have the freedom to receive them. First of all, what is an abortion and how is it performed?…

    There are no good reasons to end a healthy pregnancy. There are no God reasons to end any pregnancy but, of course, there are many circumstances where even a God fearing woman could feel comforted that God would forgive her for having an abortion. Cases of rape that resulted in pregnancy or cases of pregnancies that would end a woman’s life due to complications are considered by most people to be very valid reasons to choose abortion over the natural course of life. Although, even though these cases of rape and the risk of the mother’s life seem like excusable reasons to have an abortion they are not the reasons that the majority of women are having abortions and many women have found the inner strength to continue pregnancies in the most undesirable…
