Introduction For centuries there has been a medical epidemic that has plagued expecting mothers around the world. Considered for so long to be simply a woman’s issue, men remained unconcerned and distant—if they even knew as often they were never told. Most everyone has heard whispers of it, but until recent years the medical and psychological communities did not recognize the lasting implications of this occurrence. Now as couples break historical norms and become more egalitarian-based, this
Abortion, termination of pregnancy before the foetus is capable of independent life. When the expulsion from the uterus occurs after the foetus becomes viable (capable of independent life), usually at the end of six months of pregnancy, it is technically a premature birth. In the United Kingdom, when the foetus is not born alive after 24 weeks of pregnancy it is termed a still birth. II. Types of AbortionPrint section Abortion may be spontaneous or induced.

Abortion is defined as the termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo prior to being capable of normal growth. Abortion has been one of the biggest controversies of all time. There are those who believe it is immoral and consider it to be murder. These pro-life supporters do not know that if abortion were illegal they would still be performed, unfortunately by an uneducated staff. Unsafe abortions are responsible for the deaths of 78, 000 woman each
Aspiration, Dilation and Curettage, Dilation and Extraction, Dilation and Evacuation, and a Hysterotomy. The first type of Surgical Abortion is referred to as Suction Aspiration. This procedure is most often used in the first trimester. First, the abortionist inserts a Suction tube into the mother’s womb through the uterus; the cutting edge dismembers the baby from the uterus lining while the hose sucks all the body parts into the collection bottle. Another surgical abortion procedure is Dilation and Curettage;
Pro-life rhetoric concludes, that the unborn child is not human, or alive. According to Francis Beckwith, in “Politically Correct Death” “ One begs the question whenever one assumes what one is trying to prove. To cite an example, abortion advocates who argue that abortion is justified because a woman should have the right to "control her own body" are assuming that there is only one body involved in the abortion act that of the woman.” This is the point they are trying to prove. Or, the popular
Abortions have been a controversial issue for years. Many states have banned abortions after so long in the gestational age. There are reasons for abortions I can understand, but I just don’t agree. Abortions are an inhumane way to take life God has gifted to us. Sadly, there are many surprising numbers when it comes to abortions. According to Operation Rescue, “there are approximately 1.21 million abortions in America each year.” (Unknown, 2013) In the United States, almost half of all pregnancies
Introduction A molar pregnancy (hydatidiform mole) is a mass of tissue that grows in the uterus after conception. The mass is created by an egg that was not fertilized correctly. The egg then abnormally grows. It is an abnormal pregnancy and does not develop into a fetus. If a molar pregnancy is suspected by your health care provider, treatment is required. What are the causes? This condition is caused by an egg that is fertilized incorrectly so that it has abnormal genetic material (chromosomes)
Pro life is when people oppose or don’t support the right to life of an abortion. People that that are pro-life think that abortion is a murder of the fetus, the child inside the woman. Religion also plays a role in abortion. Many religions think that abortion is not a rightful thing to do and some do not allow it. In the encyclopedia of the Global Religion, Maguire says in his section of the encyclopedia that with Christianity for example, the Roman Catholic hierarchy disagrees with the act of contraception

The common side effects are cramping ranging from mild to intense and bleeding. This type of abortion is performed in the clinics where patients can stay for couple of hours for safety. Another method of abortion available for a second-trimester is dilation and evacuation (D&E). The practitioner will use the general anesthesia and the

Dilation and Curettage is similar to the suction procedure except a curette is used (a loop shaped steel knife) and is inserted into the uterus. The baby and placenta are cut into pieces and scraped into a basin. There is usually heavy bleeding after this method. Dilation and Evacuation is done after the third month of pregnancy.

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy before the fetus is able to live outside of the uterus and is a biological process that that impacts the fetus and mother. It’s a psychological process that involves decision making, emotions, life plans, and goals. Abortion also involves a plethora of beliefs, laws, regulations, and resources (Newman & Newman, 2015). A little over one-fifth of all pregnancies and nearly half of unintended pregnancies end in abortion in the United States (Finer & Henshaw
Abortion I have a lot of thoughts about abortion and why it should be illegal everywhere. If there is a heartbeat, and you “abort” it, it should be considered murder. I am simply stating my opinion here and what I think is right from wrong but I will provide solid information and facts to stand my reasoning by why and how I think abortion should be illegal. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, abortion is “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely

Abortion is a growing topic. There are many questions that arise from person to person about abortion. Being raised practicing the religion of Roman Catholicism, I am taught that abortion is bad and that is should not be done. I do agree with this, however, questions like “What if it was rape?” make me stop and think. If I was that person how would I respond to the decision? I would most likely put the baby up for adoption if I did not want to raise the child myself. So what is abortion? It is
Why should any woman be denied the choice to do what she wants with her own body? Women should have the control to decide what is best for their own body without the interference of the government’s laws. Making abortion legal can save and protect the lives of the pregnant woman and unborn fetus. The abortion procedure can help a woman’s life by saving her from financial stress, difficult responsibilities, risky health concerns, emotional disturbances and it also corresponds with the law .

Medical professionals in general should be upfront and honest with patients while they are under their care, whether it is a mistake that was done or the truth about their diagnosis. It is important for many individuals to have a trusting relationship with medical professionals and being truthful is one of the aspects of that trusting relationship.

Introduction An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilized egg attaches (implants) outside of the uterus. Most ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tube. In rare cases, an ectopic pregnancy may occur on the ovary, intestine, pelvis, or cervix. An ectopic pregnancy does not have the ability to develop into a normal, healthy baby. A ruptured ectopic pregnancy is one in which the fallopian tube tears or bursts. This results in internal bleeding, intense abdominal pain, and sometimes, vaginal bleeding
