Abnormal Psychology: A Case Study Of Abortion

Before researching on abortion issues, I never imagined it to be such controversial and debatable case because the problem arises from the very early stages of analyzing what administrative ethics would answer. I became overwhelmed to start because my mind became blurred on legality and ethics of abortion as early as defining administrative ethics: “well-based standards of right and wrong prescribing what public administrators ought to do in terms of duty to public service, principles, virtues, and benefits to society”. Ethics triangle is grounded on duties in the center with principles, virtues, and benefits to society augmenting it. Duties of public administrator involves those ‘obligations taken on while assuming a position’. They might

Abortion continues to make a profound impact on public policies and remains one of the most controversial debate of our time. Though abortion continues to be a debate, it was not always a problematic one. Abortion has been present throughout history dating back to the ancient Egyptians, Greek and Roman. Before abortion became a crime in the 19th century, abortion was a womans choice. “Before abortion became the object of law, it was a subject of everyday life” (Roe v Wade BOOK p. 11). From early civilizations to today, abortion was and may still serve as a form of birth control. It has been observed that through abortion those of upper class avoided “unwanted childbearing and the lower classes used it to limit family size when 1 or more child

The legalization of abortion has become the modern Holocaust of America. The Holocaust in Germany was an effort to terminate the lives of the Jews during the time of 1933 to 1945. The Holocaust is taught in history classes around the world as a tragic killing led by Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler justified the killing of Jews by calling them “non-human” while today, the government is calling developing fetuses “non-human”. Consequently, the correlation has risen between the killing of the Jews and the killing of an unborn child inside the mother’s womb. The correlation appears extreme and horrifying to most people without given context. An evangelist, Ray Comfort, witnessed to various strangers on the street beginning with topic of Holocaust. Along with the topic of Holocaust, he leads into the debated topic of abortion and finally shifts into salvation. Through Ray Comfort’s effective use of ethos, pathos, and logos, he is persuasive and compelling in initiating people’s realization of abortion and their own salvation.

I use emotional appeals during discussions with family members to persuade them to see things the way that I do fairly often. I used an emotional appeal when I was having a discussion about abortion with my husband. We were talking about this topic because an article was released about a woman’s right to have an abortion. I do not believe in abortion and I think that adoption is the better option, but that it what I would choose if I were in that situation. We were having this heated discussion because he didn’t see why I thought abortion wasn’t the right choice and why people should choose to put their children up for adoption instead. It was that moment that I told him the story about how I found a document that my mother had written

Her boyfriend, also the father of the baby, provides false feedback on the whole situation. “I’ll go with you and I’ll stay with you all the time. They just let the air in and then it’s all perfectly natural” (642) claims the boyfriend. The boyfriends makes the procedure seem like it is no big deal, it happens all the time. These words fight against what the woman might actually want. She knows it is not right to kill an unborn child but is still worried about her boyfriend’s thoughts. She asks her boyfriend, “If I do it you won’t every worry?” (643) Obviously, her decision is influenced by her boyfriend but she still doesn’t feel right about what he says. She knows it will change their or her life forever and contemplates if the boy will still be around if she decides to keep the baby. These choices will affect their life completely but what the girl decides in the end will hopefully turn out for the best. The woman replies to her boyfriend after he asks if she felt better after their long conversation “I feel fine,” she said. There’s nothing wrong with me. I feel fine.” (644). This shows she is tired of talking about the whole situation as she realizes her boyfriend is not really listening to what she says. No one knows the outcome of the choice the couple was faced with, but just like any major decision in life, the final decision will ultimately determine how the rest of their life will

She then cringed as she conjured up the image of Samuel and the expression on his face when she had told him she was marrying someone else. The hurt in his eyes had burned a hole in her heart that remained to this day. She quivered all over, not from the nasty cold, but as a reaction to her thoughts as they drifted back to that ghastly day and to the moment she realized she was pregnant with Owen’s baby: the day her life ceased to exist as she had known it.

She does not want to kill her unborn child but feels like there is no other

One path she could have chosen was to have the baby and raise the child, watch it grow up and be a successful human being. If she were to choose this path it possibly could have affected the relationship she has with the child’s father. This is possible because her partner claimed numerous times that he didn’t want to raise a child and abortion was the only option to make him happy. Now, because he didn’t want to have the child it would have been really easy for him to leave her, and leave her to raise the child on her own as a single

As a professional counselor should remain value objective about controversial issues yes a counselor will advise indirectly, but not to the point where the client depend on your advice. Give the reading material and ask their comment of the script. Provided with several approaches of the controversial issues and insist their feed back and that you are learning sometime from them, and encourage more input. As a counselor we are indirectly guiding the client through controversial issues. Abortion gives the client documentation on a healthy baby and a bright future for the baby that they can provide. The counselor should be more objective and use lot of integrity, unconditional regard of the client personal views is a common challenge to the counselor. Counselor encourage client to contact (ANSIRH) , Advancing New Standards in Reproduction Health, a research group at University of California, San Francisco their mission is to conduct innovated and rigorous research on complex issues related to peoples sexual and reproductive lives. Contact information is 510-640-7367, email: UCSFGoogleStudy@ucsf.edu. Abortion is an area that a lot of support spiritually and family if available. As a counselor we remain objective and advise client to all supportive professional agencies. When abortion occurs the female has many emotional feelings and consciousness thinking. Her mind and body cells are of conflict a difficult decision to make either morn or grief but the concept is

     What I see happening in this story is if she has the baby the man might leave her, so either way she could possibly be raising the baby on her own. I can’t imagine loving someone as much as he says he loves her. Loving someone that much, one would not make that person make a decision he or she obviously did not want to make. He has left her no choice really, either have the baby and raise it without the father possibly or to have the abortion, which she really don’t want to have, and go back to the life with just the two of them. “And once they take it away, you never get it back.” (488) Either decision I feel is not the right one for this couple because they both could

My patient is a 38-year-old woman of Asian descent. She was admitted for an elective cesarean on September 11, 2017. She gave birth to a baby girl at 0911 hr that day. Her past obstetrical history includes three therapeutic abortions and a previous term birth (G5T1P0A3L1). The previous term birth was also a female delivered via cesarean. This child is now 6 years old. The patient contracted HIV in South Korea around 2000 or 2001. As a result, the female infant is being given Zidouvudine, to prevent the transmission of HI. Furthermore, the mother was advised not to breastfeed, as HIV can be transmitted through breastmilk. The patient also has a history of recreational drug abuse, specifically crystal meth and cocaine, as well as alcohol abuse.

Hi Emma. I think your example for the topic that is discussing ethics and emotional and logical appeals is a great choice. Abortion is a topic that causes a lot of different opinions and point of views. There are plenty of reasons why someone may think abortion is a logical reason, such as a poor finical situation, health hazard, or a physical tragedy. But like you said there is a question whether it makes sense emotionally. When dealing with life it makes things more complicated, many people believe that life starts a conception so having an abortion at any stage in pregnancy is considered murder to some people, which is why it may not make sense emotionally. Another example could be an issue such as torture methods used in war. Logically

The girl juxtaposes the mans manipulative nature in that she is submissive, willing to please, even though she feels otherwise. She is thinking about the life she carries inside of her, but she wants the love of her husband. She tries to avoid the conversation, so she won't have to deal with what he is making her do. When she does talk, they end up ordering several drinks. She seems to want to drowned out her misery. One of the most character defining places in the story is when she says, "And we could have everything and every day we make it more impossible." She wants a full life with her husband but because of his attitude towards the life within her it is impossible. He says they could have everything, but "No once they take it away, you can never get it back." She knows they can't have everything. They can't have their child. She values life, but to save her marriage she feels she has to submit to her husband. By the end of the story she doesn't want to see his selfishness anymore and she tells him to stop talking. She knows deep down that the abortion will cause their marriage to fail, but she doesn't try to stop it.

Abortion was created to aid in certain situations in which a woman could not or did not want to give birth to a child and to care for the child. Abortion is a method in which the baby still in the mother’s womb or the living embryo/fetus is killed. Abortions will be performed for many reasons if it is an unwanted pregnancy for social and/or financial reasons or if there are medical circumstances with the child and/or the mother. A woman may be unable to carry the child or there may be congenital defects and the child would not be able to live afterbirth. The child may have genetic irregularities, such as Down syndrome. The parents may feel that they would be incapable of caring for the child and often the parents may feel that to have
