Positive Effects Of Abortion

Improved Essays
Could you imagine a lifetime worth of burden? Studies show that abortion brings many feelings of guilt, regret, and ultimately a lifetime worth of burdens to the mother. The thought and action of aborting an unborn baby has been continually thought over for many years. There are many sides of determining whether abortion is correct but usually the two sides can be split into pro-life and pro-choice. Pro life being individuals who are against abortion because once conceived, the baby is alive. Pro-choice supporters tend to be in support of the mothers and having that it’s her body, it’s her life, and ultimately her choice to terminate. It is necessary to know what abortion is and how it works. The term abortion has many definitions but simply …show more content…
Not only mental harm is caused but physical harm as well. Significant harm obviously comes to the baby and we know to the mother, but why? There are many gruesome termination processes, 6 main ones, but all horrific. The harm is difficult to comprehend, but once you know the processes, its crazy how compelling the idea of abortion is to so many women, because they all know how it works when getting it done. Besides the young girls who got raped and pregnant, yes that is a strong pro-choice supporter argument, but that percentage to the young women who just made a mistake does not make the fact of abortion justifiable. Having an abortion done aways carries the harm of never being able to carry a baby again, and leads to unwanted memories which eventually can result in depression. Most often an abortion occurs not in hopes to prevent a life, but to delay one. The majority of ladies that abort want families and children just not while they are teenagers. There is a detrimental effect to the mother mentally and physically, when you break down the psychology of what she is doing, taking the life of an innocent baby, the mind takes time to grasp what it has done and during later years that sense of guilt begins to form and tends to lead toward many true health complications in later years.

Yes, it is the women’s body but yes that baby is also a person. First being the mistake made through a one night stand or a night with the boyfriend, you become responsible for the little “mistake” you have created and should own up to your wrongdoings, have the baby in a healthy manner and if you can not support the baby or have no help, the sweet process of adoption comes into play, just because the odds are not in our favor, can we deprive someone the chance to live? Rape and the possible death of the mother are different, but statistics show that only 12% of women have health issues themselves and only 1% of ideal mothers aborting, whether teens or not, had been raped. That is a total of 13% having “good” reasons to abort their babies. Making abortion legal caused for many more of those “mistakes” to become no big deal. Now, if you know that our baby will be born with a terminal mental illness there is on question to be asked, Do you know of a special needs child on earth today that should not be here? the answer is no, all children are precious and even if that child is going to die the day of birth, give him/her the best 2 hours of life possible. As we debate the wisdom of legalized abortions, we must remember that, like it or not, there is a natural

    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.…
