Rough Draft On Abortion

Research Paper Rough Draft

An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death. An abortion can occur spontaneously due to complications during pregnancy or can be induced. Abortion as a term most commonly refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy, while spontaneous abortions are usually termed miscarriages. Abortion has a long history and has been induced by various methods including herbal abortifacients, the use of sharpened tools, physical trauma and other traditional methods. Modern medicine utilizes medications and surgical procedures to induce abortion.

The debate over whether or not abortion should be a legal option continues

The US Supreme Court has declared abortion to be a "fundamental right" guaranteed by the US Constitution. No woman should be required to give up her life or health or family security to save the life of a fetus that is threatening her well-being. Access to safe and legal abortion is an important aspect of women’s health care. Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures performed in the United States. The risk associated with childbirth is approximately fourteen times higher than abortion. Over 90% of abortions in the United States are performed in outpatient settings and almost all complications that arise after an abortion can be, and are, treated on an outpatient basis. Hospitalization due to an abortion is rare. There is a less than 0.3% risk of major complications following an abortion that might need hospital care and a recent study found that the risk of major complications from first trimester abortions by the aspiration method is even less—0.05%." We the affirmative hold that the current law on abortion is civil, humane, and inscrutable legal. It is our belief that if a woman does not find it appropriate to have child then she should not have to bear that burden. Those who disagree advocate striping women of their human right of happiness when saying they should not be able to decide for themselves whether they want a child or not. The process of which abortion takes place is very much so humane contrary to our opponents

The process of which abortion takes place is very much so humane contrary to our opponents beliefs. The woman is at very little risk during surgery with a less than .05% fatality rate opposed to actually birthing which causes an estimated 24,497 deaths per year for grown women. An estimated 322,441 teens die from childbirth each year. These teens were given a choice and they chose to attempt child labor but failed and imagine how many more would die if we were to eliminate the choice of abortion. Finally we shouldn’t we change a functional law as it was decided by the Roe V. Wade case. We decided when the embryo would be able to function and therefore live so it was made illegal to abort after the first trimester. This should be more than enough for our contenders but they selfishly want a stricter law which is completely unnecessary and excessive. If someone wants to abort then they would need more time to make this life changing decision so we should be asking for less restrictive laws instead of
