ABORTION
In some cases people think that abortion is wrong. They think that killing an innocent a baby is like committing murder. In this paper I will be talking a little bit about partial birth abortion. And a little about the Roe V. Wade court case.
Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy before birth (World Book Encyclopedia A, pg. 15). Usually when people have an abortion they want to get rid of the baby because they feel that they can’t handle it, or they are afraid of what their parents would say (if they are teenagers and aren’t married).
There can be some complications in abortions. The longer a woman has been pregnant the greater the risk she has for complications. A serious complication is the puncturing of the uterus by a surgical instrument. That only happens in 1 of every 1,000 abortions. In some cases other organs can be injured in the process. Some people bleed during or after the procedure. That occurs in 6 of every 10,000 abortions. The most common complications are bleeding caused by part of the placenta remaining in the uterus, infections, and blood clots in the legs.
Two thirds of women in the world have access to a legal abortion. In some countries abortion is completely prohibited and about one twelfth of the
Page 2
women in the world live in those countries. In the United States, abortion was only used in requested situations, only if the woman was in her first 3 months of pregnancy.
In the United States about 30 percent of pregnancies end in abortion because the mothers can’t handle it or they just don’t want the child. Abortion has become one of the most common procedures done in this country.
Arguments that people have over abortion are that people believe that abortion is the unjustified killing of baby that is not born yet. People that aren’t for abortion believe that the life of the baby had begun when the sperm fertilizes the egg.
People agree with abortion if the pregnancy is endangering the mother’s life or if the child is likely to be born with a mental or physical disability. Another reason some people may look at abortion in a good way is if the woman got pregnant by rape or incest.
In the early 1970’s most the United States prohibited abortion unless it was in the best interest of the mother. In 1973 Roe V. Wade made abortion legal. You could only have an abortion during the first trimester. If you would get an abortion in the second trimester it would only be to protect the health of the mother.
Roe V. Wade started when a girl named Norma McCorvey got pregnant by a man on the street. She was working for a carnival and she was walking
Page 3
back to her motel room after work one night and she got raped on the side of the road. Unfortunately she got pregnant from that man.
Norma went looking for an abortionist in Texas; however, abortion was illegal in Texas at that time. So she went to court to make abortion legal.
There are several different ways to perform an abortion. In the first trimester you can use a method called suction curettage or vacuum aspiration. Those kinds of performances are when you use suction to suck the fetus out of the woman’s body, kind of like a vacuum. This process is performed during the first four to six weeks of pregnancy. During the second trimester they can use a process called dilation and evacuation. During that process the fetus is dismembered in the uterus and then removed. This process is used in about 97 percent of abortions during pregnancies of less than twelve weeks. A different type of method is by injecting a salt like solution into the amniotic fluid that surrounds the fetus. The solution then kills the baby. The baby passes through the woman’s body.
There is another abortion process that is called partial birth abortion.
Partial birth abortion is done during the second or third trimester. The process of this type of abortion is what I would call the most brutal and most inconsiderate thing anyone could ever do. In this process the abortionist takes the unborn child and turns it to the breech position and pulls the child from the mother until all but
Page 4
the head is showing. The abortionist then forces a scissors into the base of the skull and inserts a catheter to suction out the child’s brain.
I personally think that partial birth abortion is the worst kind of abortion that anyone could have because the baby is more than half way out and it’s moving and you can feel the child moving, it’ s alive and healthy. Then all of a sudden
you have someone kill it and you can’t feel it moving anymore. I would feel so guilty if I ever had that done. I would never be able to forgive myself for doing that.
There were a lot of people that were upset about partial birth abortion because it’s the killing of child that is already fully developed. Why not just go all the way with the labor and then put the child up for adoption?
Some people don’t understand how this type of brutal procedure can be legal. Well, it’s legal because President Clinton vetoed the bill that would have banned partial birth abortion. Since Clinton doesn’t think that abortion is wrong he vetoed it.
On one of the Internet sights that I went on I found a sight that had other peoples sights on abortion. One of the people said this ” What more can be done to stop partial birth abortion? That baby is a living baby how can they justify it by saying it is not alive? People, who believe partial birth abortion is right, must also believe that murder is right. I just don’t understand how any one
Page 5
could kill a baby so helpless and innocent. ( www.askjeeves/main /metaanswer.asp)
I agree with what that person is saying. I feel that if you can kill a little innocent baby then you are able to kill someone that has been living for any number of years.
I’m going to give my full opinion on abortion. If I were a woman that got rid of my child by abortion, I would never be able to forgive myself. I guess the reason why I feel so strongly about the subject, is because I love children. I can’t wait until I can have children of my own. Then I look at people who can have kids and that are pregnant with children and they don’t want them. I say if you don’t want the risk of having a child, don’t have sex. I’m not ripping on people that are pro choice I just don’t agree with it. Well, I hope in the future there are fewer abortions and more adoptions or, women choosing to keep their children. Please think before you get pregnant. Just think about what you are bringing into the world, a new life.
