Why the abortion controversy is often so bitter
In the military we often hear the term abort the mission. In our work place we might hear that a project was aborted. In an emergency on a flight the pilot might instruct the passengers to abort the plane. Last week I aborted my original speech for communications because I thought it was not well written. The word abortion itself is used in many circumstances in life itself and is considered just a word. The word abortion comes from the Latin word abortio which means to deliver prematurely. The Latin word abortus means miscarriage, premature and untimely birth. Medically, however, abortion is to end a pregnancy permanently. Thus, the birth and rise of continuous controversies.
Spontaneous abortions due to complications which can be developed during any stage of a pregnancy is an acceptable norm by both medical and non-medical professions alike and the term miscarriage is widely used. It is at the point of what is known as elective or therapeutic abortion that lines are crossed and drawn. Therapeutic abortion, which is carried out to save the mother’s life is more accepting to most people and religion. Elective abortion, on the other hand, magnates a world of opinion. It invokes moralistic and religious views of right and wrong.
The debates and all the controversies that go along with the topic is revisited and intensified more at election times than any other. Even though the stigma of the issue is always around it becomes part of the forefront of the dinner table for voters during elections. People are often forced to choose if they are pro-life or pro-choice. Debaters usually use morals ethics religion and basic human rights to provoke and push voters to choose.
Abortion was legal, with some restrictions states until 1973 the United States Supreme Court, in its Roe versus Wade decision, ruled that a woman has a right to an abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy. A valid point one
