In 1938, Dr. Henry Turner studied seven young girls in his office, later to diagnose them all with a disease now named after him, Turner’s Syndrome. Such a rare disease, affecting every 1 in 2,500 girls, [as of January 2005], can be diagnosed while the child is still surrounded by amniotic fluid in the womb, but can never be ‘cured’. Turner’s Syndrome, also referred to as XO Syndrome or TS, is a genetic disorder. Since TS is the lack or incompletion of a complete X chromosome, TS is only found in women, and is responsible for 10% of miscarriages. Turner’s Syndrome is a chromosomal error, which can be revealed with a test called a karyotype.

Each program is broken down and defined. The section on Medicaid specifically targets pregnant women, which relates to my abortion subject. It states that low-income pregnant women can often receive Medicaid coverage for prenatal care and childbirth. Another key program is the Food Stamps and WIC. Specifically WIC, also known as Women, Infants, and Children program offers additional funds to afford more nutritional needed food.
In 2008, 41% of births were covered by Medicaid, with an average cost of $12.631 per child/woman. With Planned Parenthood and birth control readily available, the number of unplanned pregnancies would decline saving taxpayer’s money and supporting the rising problem of children/women on welfare. A third world argument in favor of birth control is a slashing number of abortions performed for unwanted pregnancies. As of 2006, nearly half of all pregnancies in the United States alone were unplanned pregnancies. Of those unplanned pregnancies, 43% were terminated through abortion.

An abortion can happen spontaneously due to complications during the pregnancy or can be induced. An abortion that is induced to help save the life of the women is called a therapeutic abortion; whereas an abortion induced for any other reason is called an elective abortion. More than a third of the average two hundred and five million pregnancies each year (worldwide) are not planned for, and twenty percent of them usually end in induced abortion. An abortion is referred to as a therapeutic abortion when it is done to: (1) save the life of the pregnant woman; (2) preserve the woman’s mental health; (3) terminate a pregnancy that would result in a baby born with a fatal disorder; or (4) reduce the number of fetuses to reduce health risks usually associated with multiple pregnancy. An abortion is called an elective abortion when it is done at the request of the woman, for reasons other than maternal or fetal health.
The main eight way to take care of yourself after an abortion is "Drink lots of fluids, stay off work for a few days if you can, take vitamins, eat healthy food, and try to sleep, take the antibiotics prescribed by your doctor right away, and for the full amount of days prescribed, no exercise for two weeks, no swimming or tub baths for 2 weeks, don't lift anything over 15 pounds for two weeks, don't use ANYTHING vaginally for 2-4 weeks - no sex, no tampons, no douches, you can ovulate as soon as two weeks after an abortion, which means yes, you could get pregnant again within two weeks after an abortion!" They also cover any problems you say encounter and the solution to them. The site is a little bit of an eye soar but is backed up by multiple doctors and physicians. Also this site is very important in my research because it shows me what women may go through after an abortion and what they can and cannot do after

Micro preemie, as defined by Dr. Jean Wright, is a colloquial term that has been coined to describe babies born from 23 to 28 weeks with a low birth weight.Although they are a minority of the infants in a neonatal intensive care unit, this description defines them as a sub category of the premature babies born. I am an example of a micro preemie because I was born at twenty-five weeks gestation and weighed one pound fourteen ounces.Due to the baby doe regulations issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, all micro preemies are given life sustaining treatment such as a respirator and an insulated incubator to stay alive. When a micro preemie is born, doctors are often not able to make an assessment of a future disability; therefore, they revive all viable babies. One common problem (among several that a micro preemie might experience) is a brain hemorrhage. A brain hemorrhage is bleeding in the brain that can result in impairment.
