aspirations involves the use of a syringe to suck the fetus out of the body. Machine vacuum aspirations use a cannula which gently sucks the fetus out. The suction curettage procedure involves going inside of the uterus and pulling out body parts of the fetus piece by piece (Dilation and Curettage With Suction). Medication abortion is usually used one to twelve weeks after a missed period. The pill causes you to basically miscarry the fetus. It is said that the baby can feel and sense when…

life of an innocent person. The Bible also does not recognize the difference between an unborn child and a child that is born; this tells us that the Bible would consider any form of abortion as taking an innocent life. When one determines that the fetus is a person and therefore is considered an innocent life, the argument surrounding the morality of abortion becomes clear. “It seems likely, therefore, that church-based social networks among religious conservatives and Catholics provide the…

Before I make my case, I have to point out that less than 1% of abortions occur because of rape or incest. (insert statistics) Pro-choice proponents will typically give the following scenario to describe what a fetus is doing to an unwilling mother in order to justify killing it. Imagine that you are drugged and kidnapped. You wake up to find yourself with a bunch of tubes connected to your body. You look to see where the tubes connect and you find that they are…

wrongful birth suits it is typically used by parents for the birth of a child born with a handicap. Basically, parents argue that the birth of the child should not have happened if they have known if there was a serious medical condition with the unborn fetus. There are many cases that argue that the physician did not properly diagnose a condition or failed to provide correct information about the risks of…

If the cervix is fully dilated, the fetus may be delivered either by using obstetric forceps or the vacuum/ventouse extractor as I mentioned above in the terms. Criteria that should be satisfied before instrumental delivery is considered include, full cervical dilatation, engaged fetal cephalic presentation, ruptured membranes, empty bladder, no pelvic contracture or obstruction to delivery of the fetus, adequate analgesia and an operator who is experienced in these deliveries…

“Instead of giving birth, I gave death” (Despelder 428). In The Last Dance Encountering Death and Dying a women in the book lost her daughter who was born dead. The mother in the book experienced stillbirth. She expressed how she felt losing her daughter. She said “Instead of a cradle, there is a grave; instead of a receiving blanket, there are burial…

policy was created. In 1997, Whitner v. South Carolina was a state Supreme Court case that upheld a mother could be charged with endangerment of the child if it was a viable fetus. Furthermore, in October 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court held the case of Ferguson v. South Carolina. In this case it was determined that a fetus was not a child and the women who abused drugs during pregnancy could not be incarcerated for anything (Dailard & Nash, 2000). Every state has battled the question of…

Defense of Abortion In the article a Defense of Abortion, they convey both sides as if a fetus is a human being when conceived, or it is not a human being.

the aorta, bypassing pulmonary circulation, because the lungs are not functioning and are filled with fluid. The DA opening is possible through the production of prostaglandins in the vessel allowing for it to stay patent (Kim, 2015, p.1). When the fetus is born the DA undergoes a transition, which occurs approximately 15-48 hours after birth and is this when the arteriosus constricts and closes. The blood is no longer shunted from the pulmonary artery to the aorta. Instead, it moves into a…

you take away the fetus’ right to a future like ours. He believes this is the same as killing an adult human, which is considered immoral. He argues that killing an adult human is wrong and the adult has the same value as a fetus then abortion is also wrong. In his paper he wants readers to agree that an adult and fetus have the same value. I am not willing to agree to that point. An adult human has had more experiences and values more than a fetus the value assigned to the fetus come from other…
