Personal Narrative: My Interview With Abortion

Improved Essays
Everyone makes decisions they love and are happy with. This is what I discovered during my interview with Sarah, who was on her way to the Abortion clinic. Sarah is a young girl, just out of college and searching for a job, she says this is her second visit to the clinic. She held her head high with no shame because she was obviously proud of what she was doing and never had a doubt in her mind.
Sarah and I stopped at a local coffee shop to chat, as I was interested to hear her story. Her last visit she had been attacked with signs reading, “Every life is precious” and “Choose life.” She said those words didn’t bother her and she couldn’t wait! When asked, “why abortion?” Sarah replied promptly, “Of course it is the best choice, I had planned all my life to get lucky enough to get pregnant and be unable to support a child right out of college. Abortion was always the idea.” The idea of doctor’s inserting metal into her womb to pull off the “fetus” from her uterine wall was

Without them, her company may have covered birth control medication and she wouldn’t have ended up pregnant and unable to support the child. It really would have messed up her plan to get a job and pursue a career after college. She said, it was such an easy decision to have an abortion and she can’t wait to tell everyone about it.
Sarah didn’t care about the people calling her a killer, telling her she took the easy way, telling her that she was selfish and needed to consider the life she was taking, because obviously the abortion was meant to be fun and easy! As a society, we should definitely ban abortions so then women can go through an even more interesting and exciting surgery illegally and at locations, which don’t meet medical

    The Necessity of Abortion In his essay, “What I Saw at the Abortion,” Dr. Richard Selzer writes about his experience witnessing an abortion for the first time. He does not writes from an objective viewpoint, and he tries to persuade people that abortion is an evil thing which people should feel guilty for doing it. Although he pretends to be fair in his essay, what he want is to desolate the reasons of abortion and transfer the emphasis to the little “needle” thing. For example: I know.…

    Abortion is a troubling issue with multiple perceptions and ideas that are due to religious views or personal beliefs which can lead people to develop irrational assumptions. This, in turn, makes it hard for them to understand the opposing views of this issue. In “Who Should You Listen to on Abortion? People Who’ve Had Them,” Renee Bracey Sherman attempts to persuade her readers towards the views of pro-choice by sharing personal experiences, shaming opposing views, and by appealing to emotions. However, she comes off as biased as the article continues and does not take the other side’s point of view into consideration.…

    While some women might note a sense of relief, others may develop complications such as regret, depression, anger, shame and even suicidal thoughts and feelings. Depending on the mother’s stance on abortion can limit or greatly intensify her emotional state following the procedure. The effects can also be increased in women who might have been coerced or even forced into having the abortion performed. This often involves threats of physical harm or blackmail and accounts for 64% of all abortions and putting teens at higher risk of coerced abortion. “In 1995, a pregnant employee at Duluth (Minn.)…

    Conflict seems to arise when two parties disagree on something as simple as who the best sports team is or the color of a cup at a popular coffee shop. People will continue to disagree on certain matters without taking others’ opinions into account. The same can be said when it comes to the topic of abortion. There are those who agree with abortion (those who are pro-choice) and those who disagree with abortion and find it equal to murder (those who are pro-life). In any case, when it comes to both parties abortion is still known as a shameful act.…

    In the 1820s, the US government recognized that current abortion methods were resulting in high mortality rates, and the unsafe practice was outlawed for the sake of women’s health. Despite the United State's ban on abortion, which lasted for more than a half-century, illegal abortions continued, particularly among poor women without access to or knowledge of contraception. As abortion procedures were studied and improved, many states began to mitigate their old abortion laws. Some states, however, still forbade abortions except for cases in which the life of the woman was threatened.…

    Abortion is a very divisive subject that people don’t typically enjoy discussing, but it is such a common procedure these days that discussing it is necessary. People could argue for what seems like forever about whether or not abortion should remain legal or how the law can better regulate abortions based on how far into the pregnancy a woman is and why she is considering terminating the pregnancy. While we may never come to a unanimous decision, we should at least agree that abortions in order to save the life of the mother are justified. Consider a twenty-seven year old mother of four who has a history of moderate yet controlled pulmonary hypertension and is being seen at her pulmonologist’s office for worsening symptoms in mid-October…
