Abortion-A Woman's Right

A Woman's Right

The efforts of the living should be focused on the support and betterment of those already living. Women are the only ones who know whether or not keeping a baby is what is best for themselves; only they should have the right to decide what happens to their own bodies. When women are denied even the right to choose, they can develop a much higher risk of mental health issues. Not only are these issues a detriment to the potential mothers themselves, they can also lead to an increased risk of suffering from neglect, abuse, or abandonment for the unwanted child. Abortion is about having the ability to make an informed decision on whether or not having a baby will be beneficial for both the mother and child. There is no need

A group from University of California, San Francisco called Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH) noted that, “women who were denied care experienced more depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and dissatisfaction than women who received it. Further, the researchers observed that women who received abortion care did not see a higher incidence of mental health issues than women who had to continue their pregnancies.” The increased exposure to the many negative emotions and experiences mentioned by the ANSIRH are not only terrible as they are experienced, but they also possess the dual effect of generating untold amounts of stress. However, when given women access to the reproductive care they need, it allows women to be relieved from the stress that plagued them before the procedure. Cath Elliott, a victim of an unintended pregnancy, shared that “for me the unwanted pregnancy was a trauma and the abortion itself was a huge relief.” Clearly, when unwanted pregnancies happen, it creates more stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues than abortion itself. Abortion is a beneficial medical care that not only helps women with getting out of a difficult situation, but also relieves (things). All thing considered, it becomes clear that when women are turned away at abortion clinics and are forced to keep the baby, it

When children are kept forcibly as a result of legal denial, it raises numerous potentially harmful issues for the children themselves. Elise de La Rochebrochard analyzed 12,182 children, and after noting that 41% of the children were unplanned, she wrote, “Children born after an unplanned pregnancy have poorer developmental scores.” These lowered scores may have to do largely with the parents whom, after having an undesired baby, created—intentionally or otherwise—a cruel living environment for the child. Countless children in those situations are either mistreated or eventually put into adoption houses. However, when abortion became legalized, Marianne Bitler stated, “abortion legalization led to a reduction in the number of "unwanted" children; such a reduction may have improved average infant health and children's living conditions.” Allowing abortion around the world can save children from a lifetime of suffering due to an otherwise uncontrollable situation where they were forced to be kept. Abortion is a very much needed procedure not only for the benefit of the women of the world, but also to protect future children from entirely preventable
