INTRODUCTION: In the steps in acquiring an abortion, A doctor 's referral is not necessary, although an independent ultrasound usually needs to be done. The quantity of Canadian med schools that give direction in fetus removal strategies is diminishing, which could conceivably make a shortage in medicinal faculty gifted here. Abortion is limited and differently ruled in provinces. Access in British Columbia (BC) is administered by the Access to Abortion Services Act, which confines political exhibits outside of fetus removal giving offices, doctors workplaces, and doctora homes to set separations. Third-trimester premature births are not by and large accessible. Case in point, in Quebec, there is no specialist who will perform a third-term fetus removal unless the wellbeing of the lady is in extraordinary hazard or there is a hereditary issue. The province (quebec) sends ladies who look to have third-term abortions performed to the United States. Quebec is effectively hoping to contract a doctor to do third-term abortion, however has not been successful as of October 2004. Until 2004, Manitoba did not subsidize private abortion centers. Be that as it may, in July 2004 the region 's just private fetus removal facility was bought by a non-benefit association, which then effectively sued the common government to pay for abortion techniques there. In December 2004, a Manitoba Justice decided that the area must pay for every single remedial abortion.l This was overruled in
Working in the field of abortion isn’t an easy task furthermore participating in the abortion procedures. But the field of nursing you have to follow a code of ethics, a set of rules and regulation. Nurses have their personal opinions about abortion, but because they are health professionals and their opinions are sought as such, they are obligated to understand why they hold certain views. Nurses need to be clear about why they believe as they do, and they must arrive at a point of view in a rational and logical manner. To assist nurses in this task, the ethical issues surrounding abortion are enumerated and clarified. To better off
In the United States, the late term abortion procedure, Dilation and Evacuation, inhumanely terminates the unborn human fetus and causes harmful side effects to the woman. The medical procedure has been legalized although the actions performed during the process raises ethical concerns for the way the physician executes the fetus.
Abortion, for the vast majority of people is not a subject that is easy to talk about. According to the World Health Organization, out of the 211 million pregnancies, 46 million end up in abortion and 18 million of those abortions are done in what WHO considers unsafe conditions (World Health Report, 2007). Unsafe conditions are defined by WHO as, “ abortions performed by people lacking the necessary skills or in an environment lacking the minimal medical standards, or both” (World Health Report, 2007). The maternal death rate for women who have unsafe abortions is 350 out of 100,000, and there are other complications that are not fatal but can lead to disease or disability (World Health Report, 2007).
Ethical Question: Should abortion be abolished? Is abortion murder? Should rape be considered a reason for a young woman to get an abortion?
Despite this attempt, legal abortion access for Canadian women, especially for those who are in rural or remote communities, remains difficult due to the many different barriers, such as not enough of abortionists, unknowledgeable hospital staff, far distance, and high costs. In fact, only 15% of the country’s accredited hospitals had decided to provide the abortion services; in the province of Prince Edward Island, not even a single approved hospital offers the abortion service. Furthermore, anyone who lives in the north has to travel far distance in order to get surgery because most of the hospitals which offer abortion services are usually located within 150km from the US border. Hence, it is very costly and time consuming to travel for the ones who do not live in the city.
Although Patrick Lee, Robert George, and Dr. Grazie Christie argue abortion is not an acceptable choice and should not even be a choice when an unborn baby is involved, senior editor of New Republic magazine Rebecca Traister counter argued abortions are about women’s choices and health not fetuses. Patrick Lee and Robert George are professors at respective Universities who have written many journals on controversial issues like abortion such as The Wrong of Abortion. Dr. Grazie Christie is a radiologist who completes prenatal diagnoses for pregnant women. Christie wrote about a first hand experience in her essay Abortion is about a child, not a choice. As the senior editor of New Republic magazine Rebecca Traister writes many political
ARCC-CDAC has made it a point to address the fact that it is next to impossible to have an abortion in Canada. A majority of women have to pay for an abortion in Canada because of the government, and they are denied the service at the hospital. Under the Canada Health Act, the New Brunswick government is required to pay for any abortion performed in any clinic within the province, but the government refuses. The government of New Brunswick is very gender discriminatory when it comes to women because men cannot bear a child . It is evident that the current government in Canada will not fund abortion clinics, and it will not be supported by the federal government. At least the information for ARCC-CDAC is not given by an automated phone number,
What is Abortion? Abortion is a pregnancy being ended so that it doesn't result in the birth of a child, sometimes called a “termination of pregnancy”. It is the only legal procedure, and is completely safe to the mother. Procedures are done in a clinic, like Planned Parenthood (Federation of America), which is a non-profit that helps provide sexual healthcare globally. One procedure is the in-clinic abortion, a surgical method using suction to empty the uterus is the (most common. But there is also a pill available for use at home, which blocks the body’s progesterone (hormone needed to further a pregnancy). Many mothers don't like the option of abortion, but if they aren't in a place for a child, many end up proceeding with it. Therefore, being such a major task, there are abysmal amounts of pro-life activists.
In “Kentucky Could Become The Only State Without A Clinic That Performs Abortions”, an article by Sarah McCammon, address the issue of Kentucky’s only abortion clinic is at risk to be terminated. Gov. Bein has attempted to shut down the clinic once before by telling the “clinic that it was failing to meet state health regulations requiring clinics that provide abortions to have transfer agreements with local hospitals and ambulance services in case of medical emergencies.” During the process of the legal action that seemed to come “out of the blue”, the clinic came very close to being forced to close. While speaking Brigitte Amiri, an attorney representing the clinic, she says the “stakes are very high” causing the reader to feel empathy for
An 18 year old girl gets pregnant and can’t decide whether to keep the baby or have an abortion. Her parents are very religious and do not believe in sex before marriage therefore would not take to kindly to their daughter being pregnant.
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.

This paper reflects upon the reasons that prenatal diagnosis and selective abortion have become so much more popular and well-known within the recent years. It discusses reasons for the tests’ increasing popularity like: the disruption to families caused by the birth of a child with a disability, the potential quality of life of the unborn child, and the financial implications of screening and testing. Another main point that is touched upon is, the attitudes of able-bodied people towards disabilities and the desire for perfection. The author considers that maybe because of the influence of the “cultural turn”, the community of able-bodied people are experiencing an influx in the theme of ableism.
Abortion is wrong because it is the murder of a human being. Abortion continues to be a moral and ethical dilemma for all those involved. The American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics states, “nurses have the ethical and moral obligation to promote and protect life.” Still, debates continue, opposing the belief of life against the principle of autonomy and a woman’s right to regulate her body. It is disputable that the right to have an abortion is a right to dominate one’s body, but the death of the fetus is an inevitable result of the termination of that pregnancy (Religious studies online, n.d.). One million two hundred thousand abortions are done yearly in the United States from weeks 9 to 21+ of gestation (Pro Life Action League). Nevertheless, nurses, no matter how caring and compassionate, their individual education, culture, religion, past, gender and even age will influence the care that is given to their patients (British Journal of Nursing, 2015, p. 345). With that, if a nurse assists with the procedure of abortion, is he or she going against the Code of Ethics for Nurses? No matter if the nurse assists with the abortion or not certain rules for privacy must be followed. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) Privacy Rule protects the patients’ health information, even those experiencing unwanted pregnancies (Simmonds & Likis, 2011, p. 794).
(I) Universal coverage for up to three IVF cycles. This option would cover up to three IVF cycles and the associated medical services to all women. This option considers the argument that infertility is a medical condition, and therefore treatment should be insured like other diseases. Adopting this strategy would consider reproduction and parenthood as a right rather than a privilege. In August 2010, Quebec became the first Canadian jurisdiction to offer full coverage for IVF regardless of their age. It was quoted that this initiative would save on the costs of treatments for premature babies and would drop the rate of multiple pregnancies.2 However, this approach without at least
Abortion is a highly-debated topic of whether it is ethical for a woman to decide to have one. Abortion is any of various surgical methods for deliberately terminating a pregnancy. When we speak of abortion today, we mean induced abortion performed by trained doctors, not including miscarriage (MacKinnon & Fiala, 2015). Some current methods of abortion are morning-after pill, mifepristone, uterine or vacuum aspiration, dilation and curettage, saline solution, prostaglandin drugs, hysterotomy, and partial birth abortion. Abortion involves questions about rights, happiness, and well-being, as well as the status and value of human life. The people who think it is ethical to have an abortion stand on the Pro-choice side and the people who think it is unethical stand on the Pro-life side. The liberal view of abortion supports abortions and the conservative view opposes abortion. There are many legal, religious, and medical conflicts that are included in the debate over abortion. The arguments made from both sides help us better understand whether a woman should have an abortion.
