ABORTION IN THE BAHAMAS BY: Wilshany Anesca Do you consider something with a beating heart a living creature? A baby heart forms and starts beating in the fifth week of pregnancy; therefore, that would make abortion murder. The baby that is growing inside of the woman is depending on her, so when she makes the choice to end that baby's life, they are making the choice to murder another person. Someone that believes in the pro-choice theory would say that the decision is up to the woman, but the person with the pro-life theory would say that it is murder no matter what the situation. Most people consider it murder to kill a baby the day after it is born.
For example, Anas is a 53-year old woman who is currently working with prisoners who have gone through abortion trauma. Through this she reflects on the pain that her own abortion brought her at 19years old, “But after the procedure, she says, strange feelings washed over her. I remember having evil thoughts, about hurting children, she said. It was like I'd done the worst thing I could possibly do. A piece of evil had entered me.” (Bazelon, 2007) We cannot assume all patients have the same post trauma, this woman may have had a psychological disorder, or received extreme amounts of pressure or stress before encountering her abortion.
These are all reason that could be avoided, and save many lives in the early stages. One controversial reason a woman might have an abortion is if she has been raped. There are very few cases like this, and in the instance of pregnancy resulting from rape, Linda Lowen informs us “proper medical care can ensure that a woman will not get pregnant” (Abortion Arguments). Overall, the most common reason for having an abortion is that “over 95 percent… [are] women who simply do not want to have a baby” (Abortion is Murder). Women who get pregnant and are not ready to accept the responsibility should not let this result in the death of a human
Unfortunately, there are several different reasons that conclude why abortions are appropriate in certain cases. A few examples depend on one’s financial stability, age, environment, and their position of dependency. As discussed in the previous paragraph, I discussed the different reasons in which several women feel obligated to get abortions. For the women who go through with their pregnancies, who are not financially stable or who are irresponsible, results in the neglection of their children, foster care or put up for adoption, led into prostitution, and the abuse of drugs and alcohol. It results in a life time of misery and suffering for the child all because their parents never had their best interest at heart.
Brian Montano Thoughtless Murder? In American society and societies around the world it has become a natural thing for a women to realize that one morning that she is late with her period check, find out she is pregnant, and by mid afternoon no longer be pregnant. I am of course talking about one of the worst evils in the earths history, this evil is abortion. Is this a normal accurance in today’s modern fast paced society or is it a murder of a innocent child who deservers nothing more then life its self? In a abortion a women can use many reasons to why she would use a abortion instead of other methods.
One of the most controversial topic that society and lawmakers often debate about is abortion. Before 1971 when abortion was illegal it was done in the back alleys of city streets with an inexperienced person doing this procedure. Thousands of women died due to improper procedure, unsterile equipment, and complications due medical malpractice. This changed in December 1971 when a single mother to be chose to fight against the anti-abortion law in the state of Texas. At the time the state of Texas only allowed legal abortions to women that had been raped or was impregnated by incest.
Selective reduction is the process of voluntarily terminating one or more fetuses in a multi-fetal pregnancy in order to increase the likelihood of a successful and viable birth. The procedure is used to manage multiple pregnancies that result from fertility treatments such as IVF and also some naturally occurring multi-fetal pregnancies. This procedure was developed in the 1980’s by Dr. Mark Evans (Evans & Britt, 2010). This is a controversial topic to many people who classify this action as abortion. Abortion is the termination of the entire pregnancy yet selective reduction is performed to improve the survival rate of the remaining fetuses and also the mother.
Natalie Tillero Mrs. Lassiter SOC101 3/14/13 How postpartum depression did affect my way of socializing? This paper explains the symptoms of postpartum depression and it may affect a new mother’s outlook for life. Postpartum depression is an illness that affects many women and even my-self, after pregnancy. A number of people think that it is a myth, that women who had a baby can’t get depressed, or get the “baby blue’s”. Research shows that this illness is capable of transforming a woman and the way that she socializes within the community, family, and even friends.
It is done by dilating the women and giving her medicine to start labor, Once labor has started the baby is delivered and the doctor suctions the brains out and the baby’s skull collapse. There are many reasons why abortions are a negative thing. One is that it ends a life of a living thing. Two it is extremely bad on a women’s body and has many things that could go wrong or long term effects. It has been found that there are many emotional aspects of an abortion that can psychologically affect the wellbeing of the women.
Often feelings of extreme guilt arise and many become depressed, even before they follow through with the procedure. Women suffer emotional and physical turmoil for a long time, and in some cases it can last a lifetime. There seems to be no good to come out of having an abortion. It causes pain and suffering, not happiness and reassurance. The side affects, whether it be emotional or physical, are too much for someone to bare.
