having an abortion. Instead of bringing a child to suffer in this world, there is alternatives that should be done. For example I believe people should be educated in order to avoid a pregnancy, and even though birth control doesn’t always work, I believe having people educated since a young age about abortions and pregnancies would open doors to new…
linked to the dose that is being exposed, the age of the individual, the length and the route of the exposure (“Mercury and health” 2016). The mother who is previously exposed to a high level of Mercury can pass it on and affect the fetus during pregnancy causing impairments to the development of their brain and nervous system (“Mercury and health” 2016). It was reported that the fetus is five to ten times more sensitive to the toxicity of Mercury than the mother (Dwivedi 2012). The US National…
A way of ending a pregnancy by using Methotrexate and Methotrexate to stop the growing cells in the uterus and separate the lining of the uterus. Methotrexate is injected in the woman and Misoprostol is inserted vaginally a few days later; this procedure will trigger contractions and expel the fetus, according to American Pregnancy Association. It is typically used to end a pregnancy in the first trimester. This process can take anywhere from five days…

medicine . We also find that there were other causes rather than the race that account for infant death in the period between 1970 to 1995, such as short gestation and unspecified low birth weight, newborn affected by the maternal complications of the pregnancy, respiratory distress syndrome, newborn affected by complication of the placenta, cord, and membranes. According to Marian, Dorman and Rosenberg (1993), mortality from congenital anomalies, was leading cause for for infant death and it…
Abortion is the planned termination of a human pregnancy. Several philosophers and activists have argued over if it is permissible. The author of A Defense of Abortion, Judith Jarvis Thomson, is correct about her argument that abortion is permissible even if the fetus is a person. This is because a woman’s right to bodily autonomy, which, combined with the woman’s own right to life, takes precedent over a fetus’s right to life. Even if people claim that she gave the fetus permission to be there,…
both too broad, and too narrow. These major issues are prominent in the delivery of obstetrics care, especially in the case of those who are of low income and minority populations. The overtreatment of women with normal pregnancies, undertreatment of those with high risk pregnancies, and medical errors are all contributors to higher infant and maternal mortality, lower birth weights among minorities, and ultimately worse health outcomes over the lifecourse. In order to begin to reverse these…
In the years 1960 through 1962, a total of 876 abortions occurred. The following years, the number continued to grow to a total of 1,608,620 in 1990. Within those thirty years, at least 26,729,883 babies were killed through the process of abortion. That number is not including all the illegal abortions that were performed, and all the abortions done on pregnant women who were possibly going to expect twins. This also means that around 26,729,883 families were told the news that they could not…
Analyzing one of the opening scenes of the film “Little Otik”, directed by Jan Svankmajer. This scene begins with a black and white version of two mannequins in many different sex positions. Preceding that scene is a colored close up of a tree being sawed and chopped down. We see the wife of the man cutting the tree down looking out the window with a saddened face. As she glares at her husband cutting down the tree she comes inside to open a trunk that seems to have a lot of sentimental meaning…
(Physical Dangers Associated with Abortion, 2013, para.4-8). Making abortion illegal will eliminate the physical risks that arise due to abortions. In addition, abortions also cause psychological harm to the mother, due to the significant drop in pregnancy hormones. In a study of post-abortion patients, researchers found that 44% complained of nervous disorders, 36% experienced sleep disturbances, and 11% were prescribed psychotropic medicine (Physical Dangers Associated with Abortion, 2013,…
