Ways of Performing Abortions
Medical abortion offers a new alternative to women in the U.S. seeking
to terminate their pregnancies. Medical abortion uses drugs to stop
the development of the embryo and to cause uterine cramping and
bleeding that expels the pregnancy. Medical abortion is available
early in pregnancy-before seven to nine weeks from a woman's last
menstrual period, depending on the method used. More than 90% of women
who use medical abortion successfully terminate their pregnancies.
Otherwise, a suction abortion is done.
Side effects to the drugs used in a medical abortion are usually mild
and may include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain/cramping,
dizziness, vaginal bleeding, and headache.
Pregnancy termination may be completed within a few days after the
administration of medications or it may take up to 1 month. The
pregnancy may be passed at an unpredictable or inconvenient time. The
woman may see the pregnancy tissue. She will want to consider these
factors in her decision making process.
What is suction abortion?
Suction abortion is a technique that has been used since 1967. It is a
relatively simple and safe procedure.
· The physician first does a bimanual exam (using one hand on the
abdomen and two fingers in the vagina) to determine how many weeks
pregnant you are.
· A sterile cloth is then put over your legs and abdomen and a sterile
speculum is inserted into the vagina to view your cervix.
· Next, your cervix is numbed by several small injections of local
anesthetic in and around it. (Let your practitioner know if you are
allergic to any medications.) The injections may cause a stinging or
burning sensation.
· A clamp called a tenaculum is then used to hold the cervix steady
for the duration of the procedure. The size of the uterus may be
measured internally by inserting a thin probe. This may result in some
cramping. The opening in the cervix is dilated which may again result
in some cramping.
· A small, flexible plastic tube (about the size of a pencil) is

Abortion is the ending of pregnancy before the fetus can live independently outside the mothers womb. Pregnant mothers who use abortion, use abortion as an option because they have the fear that their family will judge them by their mistakes. () 50% of U.S. women having abortions are younger than 25. Women between the age of 20-24 have 33% of all U.S abortions. There are 17% of teenagers having abortions. Abortion to a minor is easier to persuade to, because a minor has no idea what will happen. They have their whole life ahead of them and their future my just be starting. Along with minors, adults use abortions as an early choice. Girls who become pregnant use abortion as an easy way out. The different types of abortion all lead to death. That means murder; a baby/fetus is killed. A baby heart forms and starts beating in the fifth week of pregnancy; therefore, that would make abortion murder. The baby that is growing inside of the woman is depending on her, so when she makes the choice to end that baby's life, they are making the choice to murder another person.Every day, minors, adults, and even married couples make the wrong decision by using abortion. The quick decision of abortion blinds the eye of the mother. They seem to ignore the fact that the baby in them will be killed.
Abortion may be one of the most controversial topics in America today. Abortion is defined as “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus” (cite dictionary). There are really only two sides on people’s opinion on abortion; pro-life which means abortion should be outlawed and pro-choice which means a woman should be able to decide whether she wants to keep her baby. Thousands of protests and riots have begun due to the fact pro-life activists believe abortion should become illegal. Both sides bring valid points to support their decision that could sway any person’s thoughts. The Roe v. Wade law has allowed abortion to be legal in the U.S since 1973 (Chittom & Newton, 2015). The law “gives women total control over first trimester abortions and grants state legislative control over second and third trimester abortions” (Chittom & Newton, 2015). Ever since the law was put in place, millions of people have tried to overturn it and still
In our society, there are many ethical dilemmas that we are faced with that are virtually impossible to solve. One of the most difficult and controversial issues that we are faced with is abortion. There are many strong arguments both for and against the right to have an abortion which are so complicated that it becomes impossible to resolve. The complexity of this issue lies in the different aspects of the argument. The essence of a person, rights, and who is entitled to these rights, are a few of the many aspects which are very difficult to define. There are also issues of what circumstances would justify abortion. Because the issue of abortion is virtually impossible to solve, all one can hope to do is understand the different aspects of the argument so that if he or she is faced with that issue in their own lives, they would be able to make educated and thoughtful decisions in dealing with it.
Your lower abdomen will be shaved and washed with an antiseptic soap. A thin, flexible tube (catheter) will be placed in your bladder through the urethra.
If you have ever felt like you have had a brother or sister, you could possibly be correct, because research has proven that there has been 56,993,299 abortions since 1973, and it has not stopped ever since.
During the most common abortion, they inject poison into the baby’s head, then they proceed to pull off each body part of the baby crushing all organs until they get to the head. They crush the skull and pull it out as the last step; this is called a Dilation and Evacuation (D & E) (2nd Trimester Surgical Abortion). Any interruption that takes place after twenty-eight weeks of being pregnant is known as an abortion (Abortion 1). What does the term abort mean? There are many different ways to describe what “abort” means. One way it can be used is that when you abort a mission you are leaving it before the mission is completed. When aborting a baby, this is essentially what is being done. “aborting” a mission, or in this case a pregnancy, that
Some people would be surprised to hear that every 30 seconds a family decides to abort their child; every hour 120 families choose to abort their baby; there have been a total of 56.5 million abortions in the U.S between the years on 1973-2013. Statistics show that many families are deciding to abort their children because they claim that they either aren’t ready to have a child, the child will interfere with their work, or schooling, or that they don’t have enough money to support their child,so they decide to abort the baby. But, another problem that the U.S has been leading into, is deciding to have an abortion as late
Abortion clinic doctors state that abortion requires a 24-hour waiting period before one can get an abortion. They also add performing abortion is not an easy process and should not be done for wrong purpose. One abortion doctor who works in Wisconsin Planned Parenthood stated that he is required to read carefully each woman a list of risks and alternatives before he can perform an abortion, and the list must be signed between the woman and the doctor. He also claims every woman must take a risk of abortion and the decisions made by them are made after serious considerations. In addition, he says about 10% of the women who visited his clinic for counseling do not come back for an abortion(Zernike).
Steps of Abortion 1) (a) When a woman is expecting a baby then usually the couple thinks of this as being good news. However, for some people 'pregnancy can be very bad news.' This is because they think that having a child will cause problems. Some examples of problems: a woman might have to take a break from her education or career in order to take care of the child; sometimes 'a woman might get pregnant without being married or in a stable relationship'; and a woman might get pregnant because of rape
Did you know that that from 1973-2013 that 56.5 million legal abortions were counted (Abortion Methods). In just 2013, 664,435 legal induced abortions were reported, and that is in just one year (Abortion information and Resources). On average, 2,899 legal abortions being completed every single day (Abortion Methods). Many people think that abortion should be legal, but with the given statistics and information, abortion is very harmful and an inhuman thing to do, so it should be abolished.
Over the past few years there has been many controversial issues taking place in our society today and Abortion is one of them. Every since having an Abortion was possible people have had conflict with others deciding whether it is right or wrong. Abortion is said to be the most debated topic by Americans and there are many debates whether you should be for pro-choice or pro-life. I believe that people should be allowed to have an abortion whenever they want for many reasons. Also the three stages of Kohlberg’s theory cover Pre-conventional morality, conventional morality, and post-conventional morality.
Abortion is a procedure that has been legal since 1973 and this kind of procedure is mainly common in women of any age as long she can conceive.
