Recommended: Review of related literature on abortion

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 are unintended and out of those unintended pregnancies 4 out of 10 are aborted. Operation Rescue also states, “By age 45, one third of American women will have had at least one abortion.” (Unknown, 2013) Almost half of the women having abortions has already had at least one other abortion. When will it stop? Where is the moral compass of today’s women?
Abortions make different women suffer in different ways. There are so many serious physical complications each year resulting from abortions. Are the health risks really worth it? Breast, cervical, ovarian, and liver cancers are higher risks in women who have abortions. Perforation of the uterus and cervical lacerations are possibilities while aborting. Placenta Previa, which is where the placenta blocks the neck of the uterus and interferes with normal delivery of the baby, has higher risks in pregnancies following abortions. Women are also at higher risks for ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy that occurs outside the uterus) and handicapped newborns in later pregnancies.
Just earlier this month a study in China showed alarming evidence of higher breast cancer rates with women who has abortions. The academic journal, Cancer Causes Control published this study. Dr. Michael New, an assistant...

... and some women uses it as birth control with astonishing 6-8 abortions under their belt. Life shouldn’t be something we can just choose to get rid of because it comes at an inconvenient time in life! Life should be treasured; it’s so precious! There is nothing stronger than a mothers love!

  • Three Opposing Viewpoints on Abortion

    611 Words  | 2 Pages

    Abortion has been an issue of heated debate in the United States for numerous years. Legislation has ruled it legal to perform an abortion on any gestational age of an embryo or fetus. Some people agree with the law and consider themselves pro-choice. Others are completely against abortion and are pro-life. In addition to these two groups is another group who support abortion in the first half of pregnancy, but believe abortion should be banned for the second half.

  • Argumentative Essay On Abortion

    2739 Words  | 6 Pages

    Abortion, like any other medical procedure, carries some risks. When one considers, however, that “the risk of death associated with childbirth is about 10 times as high as that associated with abortion” (“Know the Facts”), the threat of abortion suddenly does not seem as perilous. Additionally, contrary to popular misconception, abortion does not contribute to future infertility or development of breast cancer. It is therefore safer and more prudent to have an abortion than an unwanted pregnancy.

  • Abortion: A Matter of Choice, Safety, and Morality

    1158 Words  | 3 Pages

    The decision to abort a pregnancy improves the lives of women across the world everyday. Abortion should remain an option because many deaths are caused by unsafe abortions, individual morality should not govern society as a whole, and no scientific evidence has been presented to confirm that human life begins at conception. Moralists promote the belief that legal abortions are dangerous and that human life begins at conception, however both of these claims have been refuted. When performed legally, abortions are one of the safest surgical procedures. Women should continue to possess the right to terminate their pregnancy for any reason.

  • The Risk of Cervical Damage During Abortions

    1080 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are many risks that come along with having an abortion that the patient learns about before having the operation ("Abortion"). Cancer is one of the risks. Women with a history if one abortion face 2.3 times higher risk of getting cervical cancer and when the woman has had two or more abortions, the risk rises to 4.92 times. These increased cancer rates for post-abortion may be linked to the disruption of the hormonal changes or stress on the immune system ("Abortion"). Another risk is uterine perforation, in which two to three percent of all abortion patients suffer from, though most go undiagnosed. Damage to the uterus can lead to different problems later in life with pregnancies that can cause fetal malformation, prenatal death, and excessive bleeding during labor ("Abortion").

    The procedure causes health complications for the mother, inflicts pain on a living fetus, and kills the unborn baby. Late-term abortion induces innumerable physical health complications to the patient, including severe infections, extreme bleeding, and damage to the uterus. In addition, one analysis, in relation to abortion problems, states, “from 1988 to 1997 found the risk of death increased by 38% for each additional week of gestation, during the pregnancy.” (Jones).

  • Abortion is Wrong

    1134 Words  | 3 Pages

    Abortion is one of America’s most controversial subjects. The participants in this debate have fixed beliefs on the matter at hand. On one side of the debate are people who believe in pro- choice. They argue that choice of a woman is more important than an unborn fetus. They point out that an unborn child is not on the same level of importance as the mother. Also, the pro-life group declares that choice is the sole purpose behind their argument. They believe that if a woman cannot chose to abolish a pregnancy, then she looses one of her basic human rights. The other side of the debate is the pro-life group. Their main concern is that the fetus is a person; therefore, having the same human rights as the mother. As a result, when states pass laws that enable abortions, these states are legalizing murder. When considering an individual’s ethics and values, killing is morally wrong. Therefore, the termination of unborn children is wrong, as well. Abortion, the unethical expulsion of an embryo or fetus, in order to purposely end a pregnancy, should be forbidden because human life begins at conception, economics is not a justification for abortion, and an unwanted child does not justify abortion.

    Most women feel embarrassed after having an abortion. On the other hand, many couples are waiting to adopt babies, but there aren’t enough babies due to all of the abortions. Abortions encourage insensitive manners and allow people to think it’s okay to have unprotected sexuality. Abortion doesn’t solve problems; it causes negative consequences, and sometimes causes long-term illness. In most of the under urbanized countries women lose their lives because of unqualified doctors, unsanitary circumstances and lack of instruction, as well as lack of education in women.

  • Abortion is Morally Wrong

    1065 Words  | 3 Pages

    In my argumentative coursework I am arguing that abortion is wrong and not to be mistaken with 'Abortion should be made illegal.' I will explain later why I have made this statement. Abortion is the termination of an unborn child in its mother's womb for up to twenty four weeks of the pregnancy or in special circumstances e.g. Disability diagnosis a termination right up until the mother goes in to labour. I think the above definition is an easier and less harsh way of saying that abortion is the murdering of a human being. There are several reasons why abortion is legal and several reasons why it shouldn?t be.

  • Abortion Should Be Illegal

    Abortion has been accepted by the United States of America ever since the monumental Roe vs. Wade case in the early 1970’s, but is still a very controversial issue. Many people are for and against abortions. Some people say that the child inside its mother’s womb deserves the opportunity to live, while others believe that a mother has the right to choose whether or not her fetus can live or die. Other advocates for abortion claim that abortion helps keep the threat of overpopulation down. They also say that in many extreme cases, it is in the best interest of the mother and the child that the fetus be aborted. Abortion helps keep the crime rate low, so it should remain legal, they also say.

  • Does Abortion Cause A Mother's Death?

    First off, the health risks the mother could face when doing an abortion could sometimes lead to death. Instead of risking the chance of a serious health problem, the mothers who are considering abortions should just have their child even if they don’t want it. Very rarely does an abortion cause a mother's death, the health risks the face can always happen. "Abortions only fail about 2-8% of the time"("Should"). "Some health risks include heavy bleeding, pelvic infection, cut or torn cervix, blood clots, and even incomplete abortion"("Should"). These are the health risks the mother could face when having an abortion.
