Abortion For the past few years there has been conflict about whether abortion is murder or not. For those who do not know what abortion is, it’s the removing of an unwanted child from the womb in the second trimester (or about 32 weeks). When Is An Abortion Done? The method of abortion is, at 32 weeks they basically tear the infant out piece by piece. They will grab a leg, rip it out, grab an arm, tear it out. Piece by piece the baby is ripped out. What people don’t realize, or care to think…
A recent study has suggested that pregnant women who take ecstasy may be at greater risk of having babies with birth defects such as congenital heart disease and other abnormalities. Researchers at the National Teratology Information Service in Newcastle (1) studied 136 babies whose mothers took ecstasy while pregnant. Seventy four said they took only ecstasy but 62 had used ecstasy and other illegal drugs. Eleven of the births ended in miscarriage, which is no more than average. Forty eight of…
Abortion should be legalized in the US because of heath condition. There are many causes in the US that the mothers cannot keep their child because of the heath condition.

On the other hand, United Kingdom has a low rate of Sudden Infant Death rate. When I am doing this research , I was really surprised about this information. Why would I be surprise about United Kingdom’s SID rate? Since United States of America is considered as a powerful country with most of everything and resources, why is the rate higher than UK. Does this mean that the United Kingdom healthcare organization tries to do whatever they can to educate most pregnant women about SUdden Infant…

Drinking alcohol can be no joke when knowing a person is pregnant. A teratogen is a drug or other substance capable of interfering with the development of an embryo fetus that may lead to birth defects or developmental malformations [1].

Living in a pluralistic America there are wide varieties of religions that make up the society. Within those religions there are certain practices that are seen as a guide to living a proper life.

The Catholic Church states that anyone who disagrees with the church’s views on these issues is…

The body already should not have that many children to begin with and then to choice to have that many new embryos implanted into the body is a pour decision for the mother and fetus. I believe that any more than 4 children are too many, especially for a single mother that has no income or any way of taking care of the children. I and many others may think they would base the decision on how many…
