2' SPEECH ABOUT ABORTION (FOR)
DEBATE: ABORTION (FOR)
It is a sad fact that while we are here debating about abortion, there are millions of women out there undergoing surgery to stop their pregnancy. Furthermore, it is also a terrible fact that these practices –by which many skilled professionals and unskilled people broadly benefit from economically - are carried out in such undermining conditions that these women’s own lives are put in danger. While many physicians claim that the vast majority of abortions are carried out without physical complications, further risks are taken when these procedures are performed illegally. Let’s consider the physical risks of an illegal abortion.
1) Uterus(womb) perforation: breaking the uterus when you're trying to evacuate its contents.
2) Bleeding after the abortion
3) Sepsis: an infection in part of the body, in which pus is produced (accompanied by fever)
Since the human body reacts differently from one another, let’s consider now the case of a 13-year-old girl who in a rage of desperation (her parent’s didn’t even know that she was dating a boy) decided to undergo a clandéstine abortion resulting in Sepsis lung secondary problems, generalized infection of the body  renal deficiency  thrombosis in legs  amputation.
All these traumatic situations could have been avoided had this misguided girl, who is just an example of millions of others, been treated in a public hospital, with the proper anti septic facilities and tools. Of course, it would have been better to prevent (to educate her) than to cure, but that’d be a theme for another debate.

    As a reflection, the Gonzales v. Carhart case in 2007 had a significant impact on the way abortions were performed. It established the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act which prevented D&E procedures, the dilation of a woman’s cervix followed by the extraction of the unborn child. (Kennedy 2) All doctors that knowingly performed the procedure were punished through the form of jail time or their license being revoked (Kennedy 8) since this was looked upon as inhumane. Also, making abortions illegal directly violates women’s human rights according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The document states that slavery and servitude is a violation of the rights (UN General Assembly 1948), so the denial of abortions violates women’s human rights because their bodies are slaves to the government and they have to serve the government with their body, meaning continuing with an unwanted pregnancy. The document also states that everyone should feel secure and when this is not the case for the women that attempt to be an abortion; they fear for their life. Nevertheless, legalizing abortions is the best choice for the nation because it comes with benefits. Sadly, before abortions, they were many births that resulted in children being sent to orphanages since…

    Between 1973 and 1997, the mortality rate associated with legal abortion procedures declined from 4.1 to 0.6 per 100,000 abortions. The American Medical Association’s Council on Scientific Affairs credits the shift from illegal to legal abortion services as an important factor in the decline of the abortion-related death rate after Roe v. Wade. (Abortion: NARAL)…

    Secondly, according to Daniel R. Mishell, Jr., MD – Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Southern California –, women were employing “coat hangers or knitting needles or radiator flush to induce abortions”, before professionally-performed abortions were legalized in 1976 (Morrison, par. 7). Indeed, while 39 maternal deaths from illegal abortions were reported in the United States through 1972, abortion-related deaths declined to two by 1976. However, according to The World Health Organization, unsafe “abortions induce nearly 68,000 women deaths worldwide each year”, mainly in emergent countries, since professional services are practically inaccessible and abortions are socially not accepted due to misconceptions…

    For this week’s discussion/ presentation we discussed the topic “abortion”. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of a fetus or embryo from the uterus of a woman. There are two types of abortion procedures; the first is called medical/ chemical which involves the use of drugs to terminate pregnancy and can only be used during the first trimester. The second type of abortion is surgical which involves the use of a vacuum, either manual or electrical. Birth control is also known as contraceptive or fertility control and is a common method used to prevent pregnancy. I will be discussing recent developments in birth control.…

    “The passage of time hasn't changed the fact that abortion is a serious lethal, violation of fundamental human rights, and that woman and children deserve better, and that the demands of justice, generosity, and compassion require that the right to life be guaranteed to everyone.” - Chris Smith, member of the Republican party. Abortion has been a hot topic discussed by many parties for the past forty years. Abortion should not be an option because at the moment of conception the unborn child starts to develop at a rapid speed. The unborn child already has a heart in less than a month and fingerprints which is its identification in less than two. There are also many risk factors when getting an abortion such as getting an…

    Before the twenty weeks, the baby’s developments are still minimum. However, after that amount of weeks, the baby is starting to develop main body parts. The aftermath of late-term abortions can lead to high risks of hemorrhage, lacerations, uterine perforations, maternal death, and future pregnancy complications (Dr.Anthony Levatino). All in which are obviously not quite the symptoms that we desire to battle throughout the remaining years in what should be our beloved life. The only exception to late-term abortion should be if the mother’s life is at…

    Everyday, innocent, harmless fetuses that could soon be laughing children are being brutally destroyed. One form of abortion is to cut the fetus into pieces with serrated forceps before being removed, piece by piece from the uterus by suction with a vacuum aspirator. Another form consists of bringing the fetus feet first into the birth canal, puncturing its skull with a sharp instrument and sucking out the brain tissue. The body parts, such as the head, are given letters, rather than refer to the parts as what they are. In my opinion this is for the doctors who cannot face the reality of what they are doing. The remains of the fetus or embryo, as the case may be, are put into everyday, plastic buckets and then sent to a dumpster where these precious bones and limbs are disposed. However, how and when an abortion takes place are matters of little importance to pro- abortionists and other defenders. Even former abortion practitioners from varying backgrounds and religions have a new view on abortion. These changes of heart were caused by psychological, religious and scientific reasons. One doctor, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, performed 60,000 abortions and supervised 10,000, before scientific evidence and the use of an ultrasound, convinced him he was promoting and participating what he now calls "the most atrocious holocaust in the history of the United States." Other doctors refuse to perform legal abortions, saying they should save lives rather than destroy…

    Issue Proposal on Abortion

    As a catholic-born child, I was brought up with very strict rules laid out before me that would help me with choices such as the holy sacrament of confirmation and marriage to the very controversial choice of abortion. Since I’ve been Catholic all of my life, I am a firm believer in the pro-life choice, which is advocating full legal protection of embryos and fetuses along with high opposition to the legalization of induced abortions. A baby is a baby is a baby. Whether it is an embryo, fetus, or almost a full term baby, it is still considered life. That is how I like to view this topic. This semester I plan to research why abortion is morally wrong and should be illegal. Although I feel this way, I also want to establish that there are a few exceptions in my book that would be considered lawful if a woman was considering aborting a life. Exceptions such as saving a woman when she is in danger or when she is a victim of rape or incest should be considered and ultimately allowed because in order to keep evolution going, a woman must be alive. In some cases, doctors believe that removing the fallopian tubes or performing a hysterectomy, knowing the embryo or fetus will die, is justifiable because otherwise, she would be certain to die. Since there are laws that separate church and state, I cannot and will not base my reasons solely on my religion. Moreover, I will dig deep and find facts on more reasons and examples as to why abortions are morally wrong and should be illegal.…

    Every year, almost 150,000 women in the U.S. along have abortions past the first trimester, meaning that every year, abortions does not just remove so-called "non-viable" tissues, but kills 150,000 viable babies. This also happens all over the world, most prominently in place like China and India where having a son is not just a desire but a need.

    A fetus has a heartbeat, and is developing into a full human. . The legalization of abortion sends a message that human life has little value. It also causes women to have psychological distress. "Young adult women who undergo... abortion may be at increased risk for subsequent depression." (Abortions cause psychological damage. ) Abortion can lead to future problems for the mother. "Induced abortion by vacuum aspiration is associated with an increased risk of first-trimester miscarriage in the subsequent pregnancy." (Epidemiology) An unborn baby at 20 weeks gestation “is fully capable of experiencing pain. … Without question, [abortion] is a dreadfully painful experience for any infant subjected to such a surgical procedure.” (Robert J.
