The women in the study that intended on having home deliveries had less infections, lacerations and hemorrhages (243.e2). Their data also showed that babies born in planned home births have much healthier birth weights and are less often premature (243.e3). Similarly, the Canadian Medical Association Journal assures safety in home birth: “The decision to plan a birth attended by a registered midwife at home versus in hospital was associated with very low and comparable rates of perinatal death” (380).
It asked all the questions about what things influenced their decision such as age, income, employment status, and social conditions. One of the things that was alarming to me was the fact that these young women for the majority believed that breast feeding prevents pregnancy. This would lead me to believe that the results could be inadequate because of lack of education and understanding. How much do these girls really understand the benefits of breast feeding versus bottle feeding? I would like to have conducted a more in depth discussion with these girls about the benefits of breast feeding versus bottle feeding and educate them on the pros and cons and then do a study to see how many would breast or bottle feed.
Even a pro-choice individual’s views quickly change toward abortion and exactly how legally available it should be when the same woman gets pregnant and aborts her child more than once. These types of advances all seem to be a good idea but they all have complications and loopholes which those of our modern society will take advantage of.

Sean Stanton Mr. Hopkins Communication Skills 16 December 2008 “Pro-choice” A woman who is pregnant with a child should have the right to decide whether or not she can let the embryo or fetus she is carrying continue to be present inside her body. Because a woman is entitled to certain reproductive rights, especially the choice of whether or not to carry a pregnancy to birth, outlawing abortion would be wrong. Outlawing abortion is also wrong because the pro-life movement can negatively affect the life of a woman to help the condition of an embryo or fetus. To add to that, an embryo or fetus is not a person it simply has the potential of becoming one. Finally, the main argument I am trying to present is that I do not think we should
(New Beginnings Health Center)When used properly the pill prevents ovulation and interfering with sperm entry through the cervix. Although implantation prevention is not the mechanism of action for the majority of women, women who take birth control pills do risk the chance of aborting their unborn child.
One of the first rituals that concerned I was the way that breast feeding was look at. In America we look at breast feeding as the best thing that a woman can do for their child on multiple levels. Breast feeding among many things are known to help infants fight off infections. It lowers the rate of Diarrhea occurrences during the time that the baby is feeding.

Abortions should not be used as a form of birth control. A solution to these can consist of counseling of pregnant woman and help her into the adoption process. There are many woman in the world that have loving hearts and can not have children of their own. Overall, I believe that having an abortion should be a woman’s right and should be legal but with some restrictions. In conclusion, abortion has become a safe medical procedure to terminate a pregnancy.
