There are many other options for women that are not ready to be mothers. Having your baby aborted is not the answer; it is just the easiest way to deal with your problem. When women are asked, they have three typical responses they give for justifying their reason for an abortion. Some say that having a baby would interfere with work, school, or other responsibilities. Others say they cannot afford a child, and then some say that they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner.
Because of society’s opinions during this time, the right of women to make such decisions had to conform to what society viewed as a whole. Jig’s situation as a pregnant single woman isn't her only problem. Jig would face a lot of of financial and social issues as an unwed mother as well. Additionally, during this time period, a woman's right to do what she wanted with her own body wasn’t hers. Women didn’t have the rights that they have today.
All of which are important in order to keep some semblance of a sane life. My opinion on this matter is that for new moms to breast-feed when they can but to not beat themselves up if they are not only breast-feeding and have to incorporate formula. Each family dynamic is different and new moms and their partners need to determine for themselves what works for their
Approximately 1.3 million unplanned pregnancies end in abortion every year. There are several reasons women choose to have abortions such as fear of having or raising a child, rape, or not having enough money. But whatever the situation, it is the individual woman’s decision. If an abortion is denied, the women would have the child in unsafe living conditions and the child would not get everything he/she needs to live a good life. First Trimester Abortions should not be viewed negatively because a woman's body is her own, circumstances are always different, and a woman has individual rights.
Feeding a baby correctly is one of the most important things you do for your baby, especially in their first few years of life. When a mother chooses how to feed their child, she should look at all the options and know the benefits and downfalls of each, and be flexible in her decision based on what her baby ends up needing when they are born. When a mother decides to breast feed, she cannot take many medications for fear of transferring them to her Baby through the breast milk. The effects of most medications, to a baby, are unknown because no one would want to test them out on a baby, that is just unethical. Also, when you breast feed you are still basically ‘eating for two’.
Sometimes abortion may be the only option left to restore the health of the pregnant female. In case of multiple pregnancies, this is a way to reduce the number of fetuses so that the fetus that survives is healthy and is not deprived of resources. (Services) Nearly all abortions take place in the first trimester, when a fetus cannot exist independent of the mother. As it is attached by the placenta and umbilical cord, its health is dependent on her health, and cannot be regarded as a separate entity as it cannot exist outside her womb. Abortion is a safe medical procedure.
Breast Feeding vs Bottle Feeding Many new mothers struggle with the decision of whether to breastfeed or bottle feed their newborn baby. With each there are many pros and cons. Most people will argue that breast feeding is more beneficial to the baby, and is an overall better choice. However, it is not a bad decision by any means to decide to bottle feed your baby, so you should not feel guilty if this is the decision you make. Bottle fed babies are able to be fed by anyone, and not just their mother.
In some cases however, if the expectant mother is very sick during the pregnancy, it is understandable to be paid during her pregnancy so she can pay for the medication to help with morning sickness. If the governement paid expectant mothers while they are pregnant, then some woman may continue to get pregnant then abandon their baby's so they can continue to get money. If the expectant mothers are working, and are receiving pay from their work, and living off that pay, they do not need the extra money from the government just because they are pregnant. There are other people in this world who are in need of that money instead. It would not be right if expectant mothers were to get money added to their work pay.
Women should not have the right to an abortion just because the fetus has a disease or deformation. Doctors that tell mothers about the diseases or deformations the baby has, often result in abortions. Diseases or deformations should not matter when it comes to having a child because the mother should love her child just the way they are. Mothers worry about the health costs of the baby’s disease or deformation but there are a lot of financial aid and heath care programs that can help. “Women who are able to get Medicaid in states that exclude coverage for abortion have abortion rates of about half of those women in states that give money to support abortion care" (Balch 6).
As a child I went from wanting to be a doctor to now wanting to become a nurse practitioner. In particular my goal is to specialize in maternity and pediatric care. Pregnancy and children have a special place in my heart, being that I am a mother and pregnant myself. I want to help both groups of people feel the best they can. Children should never have to deal with serious illnesses, especially since they haven’t
