In my opinion, if the social policy was suddenly altered, there would be more costs than benefits. For example, if the abortion laws changed, causing abortions to become illegal it would seriously endanger women’s health. Not all abortions are due to unplanned pregnancies. Some are due to medical complications that could take the life of the mother or the child (source 2). Altering the abortion laws will not stop abortions, it will leave women to seek help in an unsafe way.…
There are entire websites dedicated to detailing all of the horrible psychological side effects that someone will experience if they decide to have an abortion, but there is very little analysis done regarding the question of why someone would experience such psychological trauma. One website, called Hope After Abortion, consistently uses the word “shame” to describe how women feel after having an abortion (Vandegaer). The stress and shame that supposedly runs rampant among women who have had an abortion, often called “postabortion traumatic stress syndrome,” is not even recognized by The American Psychological Association or the American Psychiatric Association (Cohen, "Abortion and Mental Health: Myths and Realities."). This is a subjective website but it is also shows how readily available this sort of misinformation is, across many platforms. Websites like this exemplify the epidemic of misinformation being given to women.…
A hopeless girl who has no knowledge of the world and lived in innocence stumbles across a somber road of destruction in which she suffers harsh social stigma on her personal business of casting out a burden which would ultimately may have lead to a poor life quality on the infant’s part; she had just gotten an abortion. A very touchy subject in which society has created a large stigma (characterized as disgraceful) towards females because they had chosen to have an abortion. Abortion is a personal and individual decision a mother may have to choose, for a variety of reasons. The main controversy is, whether or not females undergo psychological changes when she has an abortion. Does a woman who chooses to have an abortion in result of a rape…
Patients. My solution would have a positive impact on patients. Consolidation, at its best, can reduce deductibles and premiums due to the power of larger payers. Consolidation also has the ability to increase access of care. So the long-term effects of my plan are beneficial to patients.…
Surprisingly, mental health problems have not been proven to be caused from an elective abortion. Most women felt “relief” from their elective abortion, not because they killed their baby, but because life stress they believe would be more harmful for themselves and the baby (Women on web, n.d.). Unintended pregnancies, when carried through pregnancy and born, are related to antepartum and postpartum depression (Biggs, Neuhaus, & Foster, 2015). The research so far as not concluded that abortions affect women 's mental health (Steinberg and Rubin, 2014). Biggs et al.…

From the micro level, which means individually or from the family perspective, the issues may confront to the family are conflict of abortion between Fred and Suzanne and psychological problems on both of them.

The first example I chose was a telephone company representative asks you switch to their new long distance system. Possible barriers could be within attending, understanding, and remembering. For example, you might only attend or selectively listen to what you want to hear. You hear that the long distance plan is only $9.99 a month. However what you don’t hear is that it is only $9.99 for the first three months.…
Sarah Terzo, online journalist for LifeNews.com (2013), says that according to a study conducted in Finland where six hundred thousand were studied, “women who were pregnant and had an abortion were six times more likely to commit suicide than women who carried their babies to term” (para. 4). The women of today’s world continue to be lied to when they are told that abortion is just a one and done fix. Post Abortion…
The statistics that I provided in the rape discussion is part of this. I have a few points on this. 1.) One of the biggest results of abortion is the severe regret and depression called Post Abortion Syndrome (PAS) and other negative psychological effects. A study by the clinical psychologist Catherine Barnard, released in 1991, indicated 2.)…
The Effects of Abortion on Mothers There are many arguments on abortion. No one ever states the facts and explains in detail how and what goes on during an abortion. How is the body of a woman changed? What does she feels like after having an abortion? Studies have shown that there is not only a physical effect on mothers but there is also an emotional effect on mothers that can be very detrimental to her everyday life.…
There have been many cases where a woman had an emotional, mental, or physical problem before her abortion. However, there are still many women who indeed suffer the effects of an abortion. There can be feelings of guilt from what the woman has done. Perhaps not at first, but possibly later on in her lifetime. “Post Abortion Stress Syndrome (PAS) affects everyone and is a form of post-traumatic stress disorder.…
Even after the child is aborted the mother won't be happy, maybe relieved for a while. They will have to live with the fact that they killed their child no matter which way they decide to word it. Mothers who have aborted their child are three times more likely to commit suicide and thirty three percent of women obtain depression. Teen girls are ten times more likely to commit suicide then the average teenage girl. Forty five percent of girls will have suicidal thoughts after having an abortion.…
The Canterbury Health and Development Study revealed that abortion has more negative effects than actually carrying a child to term. Also, there is no therapeutic benefit from abortion. Lorraine Murray described her abortion as a crushing secrecy, in which she endured intense shame and guilt for years. “Wracked with guilt and self-loathing, I wept. How could I have ended my child’s life?”…
