Consequence Of Abortion

Great Essays
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 …show more content…
There is what is called a spontaneous abortion which is a natural miscarriage but we are talking about an induced abortion where the mother willfully chooses to terminate a pregnancy. A woman may choose to have an abortion for a variety of reasons. She may base her decision on physical reasons, financial reasons, spiritual reasons or mental reasons but regardless of what the reason is they all ultimately end the possibility of a human being born. Even if a mother is otherwise healthy and the unwanted pregnancy does not pose a threat to her or her unborn baby’s overall health the “physical” reason may be that she does not want the pregnancy to change certain aspects of her pre-pregnancy body. Even though the mother may have access to financial resources that would reasonably allow her to carry and deliver a baby she may cite “financial” reasons for an abortion if the pregnancy and future child support would decrease her finances more than she was willing to endure. A woman’s “spiritual” reason to have an abortion could be that her religious or spiritual belief is against the circumstances that brought about the unwanted pregnancy. The woman considering the abortion for spiritual reasons may have had pre-marital sex or sex with someone other than her husband and she does not want the people in her spiritual community to judge and punish her because she participated in activities that went against their beliefs. Some women, although …show more content…
The two types of abortion procedures offered to women are suction curettage abortion and medicinal abortion and both have physical risks associated with them. Suction curettage abortions use instruments to physically remove the fetus from a woman’s uterus and medical abortions use pharmaceutical drugs to cause the fetus to be expelled from the uterus. Drugs of any kind are always risky because different people suffer different side effects. It’s a fact that when instruments and suction are placed into a woman’s vagina and uterus there is a risk of injuries and infection that could require further care or abdominal surgery. Health care specialists at UCSF Medical Center warn women of these risks before they consent to the procedures. ["Medical Versus Surgical

    Why choose abortion? Abortion is seen as a necessity right because a women shouldn’t need a reason to not want to be pregnant. In the article “Abortion With Apology”, Katha Pollitt persuasively argues that it is simply the woman’s body and nothing should stand in the way of what she wants for herself. Pollitt asks, “What’s praiseworthy about bearing more children than you can--or want to--take care of?” (Abortion Without Apology).…

    In addition to this, pregnancies could have complications, and can be especially taxing on the body, or the fetus could have been conceived in a traumatizing manner. Some women may choose to have abortions because the child was conceived through rape, and the thought of keeping the child could be too traumatizing to the mother. Complications in pregnancies may also force the mother to have an abortion because keeping the child could endanger their life. Finally, adoptions are viewed as possible…

    Christianity has provided many different interpretations of elective abortion to millions of people in the United States. “Of the women procuring abortions, 65% self-identify as Christian.” (Christian Bioethics, 187) Although the majority of women receiving abortions identify themselves as Christian, religion does not always give us a clear sign of its importance towards the public’s view of abortion. “The small amount of literature on the relationship between religion and attitudes on abortion does not give us a clear indication of the importance of religion in determining attitudes on abortion.”…

    “When a man steals to satisfy hunger, we can safely assume that there is something wrong in society so when a woman destroys the life of her unborn child, it is evidence that either by education or circumstances she has been greatly wronged.” Said by Mattie Brinkerhoff.

In fact, Frank Pavone states that “If we took a moment of silence for each person lost to abortion we would be silent for over 100 years.”…

    I.Introduction The topic of abortion is currently one of the most controversial issues. The 1973 supreme court ruling of Roe v. Wade allowed for women to legally obtain abortions throughout their entire pregnancy, however, conditions were put into place that allowed for states to regulate abortions during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. The right to have an abortion is protected under the constitution’s 14th amendment which protects the basic rights of citizens. This ruling has left our country divided in half by those who are for and against abortion. Those who oppose Roe v. Wade are referred to as pro-life and those in agreement are pro-choice.…
