Fetus

live of their baby just because they weren’t in a spot in their life to have a child. Not only are there side affects of having an abortion for the mother, it also causes the baby some pain as well. A study was done on the effects of abortion on a fetus and Doctor David Prentice said that, “Young babies still in the womb at 20 weeks after conception, and probably even earlier, do indeed feel pain, and in fact, may feel more intense pain than a newborn or an adult” (“Medical Expert Confirms…

The cortex is outer most layer of the cerebrum; the cortex of an unborn fetus does not develop until 26 weeks of pregnancy. Pro-choice activist refer to the 2010 Britain’s Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologist which states fetuses do not feel pain during abortions when the abortion is performed within the 26 to 30 weeks after conception.…

The term Siamese twins is used on individuals that are of a single gestation . Those twins whose bodies are still conjoined after birth. This tends to occur in one of every 200,000 births, 50% of the cases are born dead and 75% belong to the female gender . The percentage of survival in Siamese twins ranges between 5% and 25%. The origin is not yet well defined, but it is thought that Siamese twins are the result of an aberration in the process of the formation of monozygotic twins, i.e. twins…

Infertility is a condition in which a person is not able to reproduce by natural means after 12 months (or longer) of unprotected sexual intercourse on a regular basis.

Pro-Abortion versus Anti-Abortion Abortion today is a very controversial topic and in some cases a very touchy subject for most women. For many years we have seen and heard so many people voice their opinions for either Pro-Abortion or Anti-Abortion. Abortion has went from being illegal to being legal to potentially being illegal again. What will all of this do for woman’s right? How did this all start? In Reagan, L. J. (1997), abortion was practiced back in the 1880s, but some of the…

hypocrisy and ignorance at its most absolute form. Ultimately, the choice should and always be of turn woman, for she is the one carrying the fetus inside her. No matter how she got pregnantif she has came to the conclusion that the best thing to do is get an abortion, why shouldn't she be able to? She has decided this based on what she may feel is best for both the fetus and her. Who's…

Samantha should avoid smoking, drinking, using drugs, and consuming caffeine during her pregnancy. The first reason why I believe that she not smoke during her pregnancy is because it can cause the baby to have potential health issues. According to the March of Dimes article, "smoking during pregnancy" it states how smoking can cause the baby to be born prematurely, to have a low birth weight, stillbirth, miscarriages, and possibly death. Therefore, smoking during a pregnancy has major risks for…

Approximately 3,000 abortions take place every day in the United States (Snyder). Those abortions add up to more than one million abortions per year.

They also argue that abortion denies the right-to-life of the baby, and threatens both the mental and physical health of the mother. This side of the debate comes from many different…

In the case of Ferguson versus the City of Charleston I believe that the needs of the public safety override the patient’s privacy regarding their urine. In a situation in which a mother is using crack while she is pregnant the fetus will also become addicted to the drug. This will contribute to the suffering of the infant throughout its infancy and throughout the rest of its life. Since the drug will impact the child long-term I think that it is important for some significant figure to step in…

animals is that they have a rational soul, their intellect and will (Bedford, 2012). Lee and George view abortion as wrong since it denies the fetus it’s personhood, in addition, they state that a fetus shouldn’t be intentionally killed. They cite that it should be disallowed socially and politically. The article also states the view for the L&G, if a fetus has a personal essence, but its mother can legally abort it, then that particular polis does not consider a personal essence as the…
