It directly opposes human rights. Abortion should not be used as a matter of contraceptive either. It can have harmful effects on the mother later in life and can leave damage to the body. It can cause a woman to have other complications during pregnancies later in life. In addition to that there are studies that prove that breast cancer is heightened in women who had an abortion earlier in life.
Lab Report Two Part One: Patient A is suffering from Clostridium botulinum because it prevents neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction and causes flaccid paralysis. This is caused by no ACh in the cleft and no action potential in the muscle. There is no contraction of the muscles. Patient B is suffering from poison from the black widow. Calcium channels in the presynaptic terminal are opened so there will be ACh in the cleft, but it causes local paralysis so there will be no action potential in the muscles.

Discuss possible barriers that affect the breastfeeding experience for mom and baby. An infant with galactosemia (such infants cannot digest the lactose in milk) • Herpes lesions on a mother’s nipples • Maternal diet is nutrient restricted, preventing quality milk production • Maternal exposure to radioactive compounds (e.g., during thyroid testing) • Breast cancer • Maternal active, untreated tuberculosis, hepatitis B or C, cytomegalovirus, or human immunodeficiency syndrome • Maternal active, untreated varicella. Once the infant has been given varicella zoster immunoglobulin, the infant can receive expressed breast milk if there are no lesions on the breast. Within 5 days of the appearance of the rash, maternal antibodies are produced, and thus breastfeeding could be beneficial in providing passive immunity against varicella (Sadeharju et al., 2007) • Mothers receiving antimetabolites or chemotherapeutic agents • Mothers receiving prescribed medications that would be harmful to an infant such as lithium or methotrexate • A mother lives in an area where environmental contaminants can be carried via breast milk to the infant (AAP Committee on Drugs, 2002) 5.

There are many reasons, most of them being because the parents are not prepared to handle the responsibility of a child, and have conceived an infant by accident. According to Linda Lowen, “4 out of 10 unintended pregnancies end in abortion” (Abortion Facts). This is a large number of 40% of children who get their lives taken away because of a careless mistake of someone who was not prepared to have a child. Statistics show that three of the main reasons for having an abortion are, “3/4 say that having a baby would interfere with work, school, or other responsibilities; about ¾ say they cannot afford a child; and ½ say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner” (The Alan Guttmacher Institute). These are all reason that could be avoided, and save many lives in the early stages.
