This required the closing of nine-thousand elementary schools.4 Legalized abortion has resulted in over 46 million fewer taxpayers in America to support the elderly. “Population loss from abortion on demand is already
A case study is examined to illustrate possible approaches to care and personal reflections of the author will be shared regarding issues of teenage pregnancy. In 2009 almost 410,000 infants were born to United States teenage girls between the ages of 15 and 19. Nearly two-thirds of births to women younger than 18 and more than half of those among 18 and 19-year-olds were a result of unintended pregnancies (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). This represents a teen birth rate as much as nine times greater than other developed countries and is especially high among black and Hispanic teens in southern states (Vital signs: teen pregnancy, 2011). Those at highest risk of teen pregnancy are girls from single parent homes, families with low socioeconomic status, and girls with a sister who became pregnant as a teenager (Talashek, Alba, & Patel, 2006).
There are two kinds of abortions in the U.S., which are in-clinic abortions and the abortion pill. In-clinic abortion procedures range from about $300-$950 in the first trimester (Planned Parenthood, 2012). There is more than one kind on in-clinic abortions. Aspiration is the most common type of in-clinic abortion because it is used on women who are four months pregnant and less (Planned Parenthood, 2012). D&E, which stands for dilation and evacuation, is a type of in-clinic abortion that is used on women who are more than four months pregnant (Planned Parenthood, 2012).
Opinions on abortion vary for numerous reasons, but under certain circumstances, abortion may be the most appropriate action to take. “Approximately one-half of the 6.4 million pregnancies in 2001 in the United States were unplanned”(Henshaw, pg 90). That is about three million unplanned pregnancies. “These three million unplanned pregnancies include 1.3 million pregnancies that ended in abortion; 1.4 million live births that women reported were unplanned at the time of conception; and 411,000 miscarriages of unplanned pregnancies” (Henshaw, pg 91). Who really experience these unplanned pregnancies?
In fact, cases of all vaccine-preventable diseases are down more than 97% from peak levels before vaccines were available. Vaccines are now available to protect children and adults against 15 life-threatening or debilitating diseases. • healthier mothers and babies. At the turn of the century, 140 of every 1,000 babies born alive died within their first year of life. Today, that rate is 6.3 deaths per 1,000 live births • family planning.
To begin with, abortion became legalized in Canada in 1969. Just to think, abortion was illegal 43 years ago. In addition, over 100 000 abortions are performed in Canada per year at a ratio of 30 abortions per 100 live births. In this class there are roughly 15 girls in our If we used this ratio to the girls in this class, about 4-5 girls would abort their babies (after assumptions). Also, more than three million unborn babies have died from abortion in Canada since 1969 when abortion was first decriminalized.
It is the fifth most common cancer in women today. There is no known cause of ovarian cancer. Women 55 and older are at a much higher risk for ovarian cancer than any other woman. Many cases of ovarian cancer involve a hysterectomy or removal of all or a portion of the uterus. Uterine cancer most often affects women after menopause.

Therefore, based on a 1990 study estimating that 683,000 women over the age of eighteen were raped in that year, conceivably 32,000 rape-related pregnancies occur annually. A separate study conducted in 2000 estimated that, given
An abortion is defined as the removal of a fetus or embryo from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death. Abortion is not always intentional such as in the case of spontanious abortion, also known as a miscarriage. (MedlinePlus, 2008) In the first twelve weeks, suction-aspiration (also known as vacuum abortion) is the most common surgical procedure. (Healthwise Medical Writer, 2006) Effective in the first trimester of pregnancy, the percentage of all medical abortions in the United States and Europe rises to 10%. (Spitz, I.M.
The most common cause of anemia is a lack of iron in one's body. According to the website Globalization 101, 56% of women in the world are anemic, and that number rises to a whopping 76% of women in South and Southeast Asia. Anemic women are at greater risk of “infant mortality rates” and premature birth of their children. Vitamin A is another necessity that a person simply cannot live without, and a vitamin that is not distributed evenly around the world. Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) causes 250,000 to 500,000 children to go blind each year (most of these children live in impoverished countries).
