Abortion Social Issue

On January 22, 1973 Roe vs Wade was passed, which was a Supreme Court case, that allows women to have the right to have an abortion. When Roe vs Wade zpassed there were 1000 abortions that day. According to this article “Abortions in America” there were 1.06 million abortions performed in 2011 so that was 13.9 per 1000 women with a baby. Also according to this article “Abortions in America” on 2008 there were 1.21 abortions which was 19.4 per 1000 woman. The past few years abortions have been reducing, however there are still people trying to eliminate Roe vs Wade.

According to the website http://womenissues.about.com/cs/abortionstats/a/aaabortionstats.htm there are approximately 126,000 abortions conducted each day throughout the world. This website includes the abortion statistics of the world and breaks the data down to the demographics of the United States. It also discusses the decisions to have an abortion and the use of contraceptives in the United States. This was an informative website and included detailed statistics conducted by the Alan Guttmacher Institute. According to the website http://www.bls.gov/cps in 2000, gon average there were roughly 135 million employed and 6 million unemployed people in the labor force in the United States.h (p. 3) The websites definition of

According to Lisa M. Brown, a thoracic surgeon, 1.2 million abortions are performed each year in the United States, meaning 1.2 million children are killed yearly (1). “…More than half of the six million pregnancies occurring each year in the United States are considered unplanned by the women who are pregnant. Of these unplanned pregnancies, about half end in abortion,” she wrote. Imagine the impact of this on America’s potential population. Economist John D. Mueller wrote about just this in an article on the official website of the Ethics and Public Policy Center:

Researcher say there’s at least 3,000 a day in the United State, and about 125,000 in the whole world. Twenty-two percent of all pregnancies in the U.S. end in abortion. Nearly half the pregnancies in the U.S. are unintended and four in ten of these are terminated by abortion. One woman dies every seven minutes from an abortion. Women that are between the ages of 20-25 have more abortion then teenagers, which you would think teenager would have more. This is horrible how many abortion happen in the U.S. let alone the world! Those statistics are saying that we could have had 125,000 more amazing children on this earth, one of them could have been the next great thing, but you're never gonna know because you killed you own baby. The only people that should get the choice of abortion

Abortions have become popular to the industry. About 43% of American women will have one or occasionally more than one abortions during their lifetime. Women's centers and hospitals perform more than a million abortions per year. Most abortions are done on women under the age of 25. Majority of abortions are done for teenagers. Abortions are obviously in great demand.

US New and World Report state that 43 percent of American women will have an abortion in their lifetime. In America abortion is as common as divorce and three times more common than breast cancer. Twice as many women get abortions as complete college degrees. There are approximately 1.4 million abortions performed each year in the United States with 89 percent of these prior to the twelfth week of gestation (Waldman, Ackermann and Rubin). Of the abortions performed 44 percent of the women will have had previous abortions and 82% are unmarried or separated (Cummings).

In 2008, 1.21 million abortions were performed, a decrease from 1.31 million in 2000; however, between 2005 and 2008, the long-term decline in abortions stalled. From 1973 through 2008, nearly 50 million legal abortions were performed in the U.S.

January 22, 1973 is when abortion was legalized in the United States. That boosted the amount of abortions, over 56 million children have been killed. That is more than the population of Spain. That is an equivalent of 155 babies killed per hour, approximately one every twenty-four seconds. In America alone 21,500,000 abortions have occurred in the last 30 years. (Abort73,..Com)

Abortions have become increasingly common throughout several walks of life as is often portrayed as the number one cause of mortality in the United States with an estimated 1.3 million abortions each year. This equates that four in every ten pregnancies result in the termination of a pregnancy, which corresponds to over 3,700 abortions per day. Those who most commonly seek abortion rather than carrying out their child full-term chose due to limited financial resources and the fear of caring for the unborn child unaccompanied. Women with incomes lower than eleven thousand are documented to terminate their

Around 44 million abortions occur each year in the world, with a little under half done unsafely. Abortion rates have changed little between 2003 and 2008,, 40% of the world 's women had access to legal abortions without limits as to reason. However, there are limits on how late in pregnancy abortion is

Abortion already became one of the most common surgeries nowadays. It’s a very useful surgery, and it helped a lot of people. However, there are also many social problems came behind. Minors get pregnant is always a controversial topic. I saw a lot of news reported that underage girls become young mothers, and the amount of this situation are still increase. It means that there are a lot of underage girls get pregnant, and also means that abortion will become more and more popular in minors. Thus, a big social problem arises, should girls 17 and under be required to get parental permission to have an abortion? Of course, they need the permissions. For the parents, it’s necessary for them to know their children’s situations. For the minors, there are a lot of advantages for them if they tell and get permission from their parents about abortion.

Abortion is a common procedure where a pregnancy is terminated by removing a fetus or an embryo from the uterus (Edelman et al., 2003). In 2008, it was estimated that about 30% of women between the ages of 15 and 44 would have an abortion by the age of 45 due to an increase of about 200,000 abortions from 2000 to 2008 (Jones et al., 2011). However, in 2014, only about 1.5% of women between the ages of 15 and 44 had an abortion (Jones et al., 2017). There was a 14% decrease in abortions from 2011 to 2014, totally over 900,000 abortions performed in the United Sates alone (Jones et al., 2017). Even though the abortion rate is declining, the abortion rate is still high.

Today, abortion is a big issue regarding women, because for decades it had been said that abortion should not be legal. Many people feel aborting an undesirable child, or “murdering” an undesirable child should be against the law. Other people don’t

In 2013, there were 664,435 legal abortions that were reported to the CDC (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). By making abortion illegal, all of those lives could have been spared. Abortion is an act of murder and should not be classified differently from that of an individual of any other age. From psychological issues with the mother, to the babies physically feeling the pain of getting killed, to even reducing the number of adoptable babies, abortion is a huge issue in this society. Not only is this act harmful to the baby itself, but it leaves lasting impacts on the mother as well. With abortion being legal, this law is stating that it is acceptable for one to murder their own child. Overall, abortion needs to be made illegal because we are terminating the lives of innocent people.

About 1.2 million abortions are performed every single year in the United States. Worldwide, anywhere from 20-30 million abortions are performed legally where another 10-20 million are performed illegally (“Abortion”). Is any of this news not heart wrenching for you? Abortions should not be happening anywhere in the world, there are so many ways to prevent unwanted pregnancies from ever happening.
