Abortion Is the Intentional Termination of a Pregnancy After Conception

Abortion Abortion is the intentional termination of a pregnancy after conception. It allows women to put an end to their pregnancies, but involves killing the undeveloped embryo or fetus. Supporters of abortion rights argue that the embryo or fetus is not a person, or at least that the government has no right to ban abortion unless it can prove that an embryo or fetus is a person. However, those who are against it think differently. Abortion is often used for those who has an unplanned pregnancy by mistake or even rape. Many women from different age groups receive abortions leaving them with mental distress. Some regret it later on in life, while others feel as if they did the right thing. There are many different ways to abort a baby, menstrual extraction, suction, D&C, D&E, hysterotomy, salt poisoning, etc. During the suction abortion the abortionist first paralyzes the cervix. A hollow plastic tube with a knife-like tip is then inserted into the uterus. The tube is connected to a powerful pump with a suction force 29 times more powerful than a home vacuum cleaner. During the procedure the baby's body is torn into pieces and the hose frequently jerks as pieces of the baby become lodged. The placenta is then cut from the inner wall of the uterus and the scraps are sucked out into a bottle. Most often used after the first trimester is the salt poisoning. During this action abortionist injects a strong salt solution directly into the amniotic sac (fluid surrounding the baby). The baby breathes and swallows it, is poisoned, struggles, and sometimes convulses. It takes over an hour to kill the baby. The mother delivers the dead baby in a day or two (sometimes alive!). Sometime the corrosive effect of the salt solution often burns and strips away the outer layer of the baby's skin. This exposes the raw, red, glazed-looking subcutaneous layer of tissue causing the nickname “Candy Apple Baby”. The baby's head sometimes looks like a candy apple. Some have also likened this method to the effect of napalm on innocent war victims. This technique was originally developed in the concentration camps in Nazi Germany. Although some of these ways to abort has become illegal, some still remain around today. There is approximately 42 million abortions a year, 115,000 abortions per day. While many of us may wonder why women are getting abortions, statistics show that 1% receive it because if rape or incest, 6% because of health problems dealing with the mother or baby, and 93% because of social reasons. While white women obtain 60% of all abortions, their abortion rate is well below that of minority women. Black women are more than 3 times as likely as white women to have an abortion, and Hispanic women are roughly 2 times as likely. Women identifying themselves as Protestants obtain 37.4% of all abortions in the U.S.; Catholic women account for 31.3%, Jewish women account for 1.3%, and women with no religious affiliation obtain 23.7% of all abortions. 18% of all abortions are performed on women who identify themselves as "Born-again/Evangelical". Many people may think that a lot the women with the lowest amount of income receives more abortions, believing that they wouldn’t be able to support their offspring. However, statistics shows different. Women with family incomes less than $15,000 obtain 28.7% of all abortions; Women with family incomes between $15,000 and $29,999 obtain 19.5%; Women with family incomes between $30,000 and $59,999 obtain 38.0%; Women with family incomes over $60,000 obtain 13.8%.48% of all abortion facilities provide services after the 12th week of pregnancy. 9 in 10 managed care plans routinely cover abortion or provide limited coverage. About 14% of all abortions in the United States are paid for with public funds, virtually all of which are state funds. 16 states (CA, CT, HI, ED, IL, MA , MD, MD, MN, MT, NJ, NM, NY, OR, VT, WA and WV) pay for abortions for some poor women. Data shows that 43% of all women will have at least 1 abortion by the time they are 45 years old. 47% of all abortions are performed on women who have had at least one previous abortion.
Governments around the world see that women are just having abortion so that they won’t have to deal with the job of raising a child. They have begun to think that abortion is a very bad idea. Many states are starting to ban abortion all together. The governor of Nebraska has recently signed a law that banned most abortions after 20 weeks on the theory that that’s when the fetus can feel pain. Mississippi Legistlure has sent a bill to the governor that forbids public financing of abortion. The Oklahoma Legislature overrode a gubernatorial veto to pass two abortion laws. One requiring a woman, even those seeking to end a pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, to have an ultrasound and have the fetus described to them, and the other prevents mother from suing doctors who withhold information about fetal defects. Florida Legislature has also passed similar laws. Even though these laws seem to be fair many people dislike them because most of the laws are enacted mostly by men. While some people may disagree with the new laws, some people, an even woman who has had an abortion agrees with them. In fact, some even think that the laws should be stricter. Some women who have had a previous abortion feel as though if the rules were different they would have never had the procedure done.
Abortion is a very brutal think to take part it. Finding out that you’re expecting and knowing that you do not have money to support it or that you have been raped and won’t be able to deal with the fact of raising the child is understandable to cause panic. However, before deciding to receive and abortion other options should be looked at like adoption. Adoption gives your baby the opportunity to live the life they deserve without you having to struggle from it. Taking a baby’s life should never be an option unless it’s because of rape. However, many people have their own opinions and who is to say if someone is right or wrong.
