Abortion - Thailand Should Never Legalize Abortions
Thailand Should Never Legalize Abortions Recently, Thai society has changed a lot when compared to the past. There are so many reasons that cause the change of the society; the obvious one is influence from western cultures. The old days, Thai people were quite traditional. They would have sex after they get married or are mature enough. Whereas, the society received western cultures over time, new generation and teenagers do not care about having sex as much as before. Thus, this can bring a lot of problems when they get pregnancy. It is so clear that people in the past had more kids than people in the present time with the reason that people in the past did not know exactly how to control the birth of the baby. Currently, people have several ways for contraception, such as taking birth control pills and using condoms. However, these ways have chance to be failed if people do not know exactly how to use or if they are careless about using them in the right way. After they were fail, they begin to think about ending their pregnancies. Ending pregnancy can be called “ abortion.”
Actually, abortion has been with us for a very long time. It can be traced back to prehistoric time. In the past, abortion was done through the use of herbs to induce abortion, use of sharpened object, application of pressure to abdominal area, and many other methods (History of abortion, n.d.). Abortion was very dangerous as there were risks of womb infection, uterine rupture, bleeding, damage to organs, or even death. At the present time, we have the luxurious access to anesthesia, sanitation, and surgery making the abortion much safer (History of abortion, 1998). However, it is still risky in short-term effects and long-term effects (Considering abortion, n.d.). Abortion has developed its own emotional path along with human civilization. As the world becomes more complicated the more ethical issue we seems to have to concern with, so as abortion (Blatner, A., 2006). Even though
