Analysis Of The Article ' Major Physical Impact On Abortion

Abortion really today has been a very controversial issue in today’s society. An interesting claim within it is that abortion can be done safely through the use of medical abortion and although medical abortions can be safe and trustworthy as experts might say, there still are risks that women will have to face and eventually take after abortion. Major types of risks can be pelvic infections, blood clots in the uterus or maybe a torn cervix. These are just few out of many health problems caused from abortion.

Some of the possible risks and side effects of having an abortion is vomiting, diarrhea, warm and cold chills, dizziness, fatigue, allergic reaction to the medicines, haemorrhage possibly requiring treatment with an

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).

The probability of a woman's death is 1/11,000 in abortions after 21 weeks. A mother is not only taking the life of an innocent child, but she is putting herself at risk. For instance, “Dangers and risks of...” Martin Mcatee discusses complications that third-term abortions also come with. There is a high risk of infection to the mother due to surgical instruments being introduced into the mother's uterus, and possible dead tissue of the fetus parts being left behind. Dead tissue left behind after the abortion can enter the mother's bloodstream and result in sepsis, a deadly blood disease. Therefore, abortions can harm both the mother and the fetus, and should not be an option for the

Even with medical advancements the procedure is still a very dangerous procedure that can leave psychological and emotional trauma. Breast cancer, death, infection, frequent miscarriages, suicide, increase in placenta Previa, and ectopic pregnancies are commonplace. “Approximately 20% of women undergoing an abortion suffer from immediate minor complications, and 1/5th considered major complications” (J. Johnson afterabortion.org). “Another 60% of women said they experienced a sequel of suicidal thoughts, along with 28% actually attempting the suicide” (J. Johnson afterabortion.org) all due to feelings of regret and the act of despair. Many women after having an abortion can never even have a child again. Having an abortion can turn into a lifetime worth of burden.

One of the nine reasons found that we should not legalize abortion is the laws against abortion kill women (Kilinger). Many women are killed each year during childbirth, but almost four times more women are killed when they have an abortion (Lowen). Women need to know the health risks involved with abortions before making that choice. Having an abortion has many long lasting effects such as: emotional disorders, blood infections, and an increase in breast cancer (Lowen). The leading causes of death for the women who had an abortion are infection, hemorrhage, bowel injuries, clotting disorders. If air was to get to the amniotic fluid, or fetal tissue to get into the woman’s blood stream they would die (Kilinger).Sometimes abortions are not effective, and

Conversely, with this advancement in medicine there also comes to bear many implications and problems that arise from having an abortion. Females who go through with abortions are more likely to develop certain cancers. For example, if a said woman receives just one abortion, that woman is 2.3 times more likely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer than that of a woman who proceeded through with her pregnancy. Respectively,

Furthermore, modern abortion procedures are extremely safe. So safe, in fact, that the risk of a woman dying from an abortion is less that one out of 100,000. On the other hand, the number of women who die during childbirth is 13.3 out of 100,000. Access to legal, professionally performed abortion reduces both injury and death caused by “back-alley” abortions. These back-alley abortions account for 68,000 maternal deaths a year in the 33 countries where abortion is either not legal, or unavailable (World Health Organization, Oct. 2006).

There are many complications associated with abortions some of which are known and others unknown. There was a study done in japan about 60 years ago that reached throughout the

First, abortion can cause future medical problems for the mother. A reb. 2014 study in the peer reviewed “Cancer Causes and Control,” that abortion “is significantly associated with an increased risk of breast cancer,” and that “the risk of breast

As early as 1550 B.C., Egyptians were performing abortions. Egyptians documented the techniques they used to perform abortions and by the Middle Ages, the concept of abortion had spread globally (PRB). Knowing the idea, of terminating a pregnancy, was being performed in 1550 B.C., the number of babies lost to this horrific death will never truly be known. Since 1969, the CDC started documenting the numbers of legal abortions obtained in the United States. Roe vs. Wade was the infamous court case that made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, in 1973, that assisted abortion in becoming completely legal. The United National Library of Medicine published that since that day in 1973 abortion rates peaked but remained continuous through the

Abortion is the act of disposing of an embryo, fetus, unborn baby (Abortion). There are two primary types of abortion; spontaneous and induced. Spontaneous abortion is an accidental death of an unborn baby. This can happen for multiple reasons like infections, drugs, diseases, and so forth. This type of abortion is mainly known as a miscarriage. But the main type of abortion we will be focused on during this paper is induced. Induced abortion is a completely deliberate murder of an innocent child. This dispelling of a fetus is done in several different ways and different times. We will be going through all of the different subcategories of induced abortion such as RU486, suction, D&C, D&E, saline, prostaglandin, hysterotomy, and D&X. All of

Disability caused by abortions is a concern that Jig should be aware of for her case. As Dibaba and colleagues, researchers from WHO, disclose, "Hemorrhage, sepsis, obstructed pregnancy, and hypertensive disorders" are common disabilities that lead to death (2). The fact is that the abortionist may lack the skills, knowledge, and tools to prevent disabilities or even death. As Dibaba and colleagues show increased abortion care has proven to decrease physical risks although the risks are not completely gone. Also, Dibaba and collogues show, "Providers at nonperforming facilities most often cited a lack of trained staff, equipment, and supplies as the reasons for nonperformance" (9). Therefore, Jig faces great risk of various disabilities and lack of proper care. The disabilities listed by Dibaba and colleagues are common and extreme

Woman’s health is a big topic when speaking or even thinking about abortion. A Chinese study says that they found an association between breast cancer and a history of abortions. A book called Obstetrics & genecology in January, 2015 reported that less than one-quarter of one percent of abortions leads to major health complications which are not that much at all.

The risk of breast cancer increases almost twice as much with each abortion performed. The mother is also prone to cervical, ovarian, and liver cancer. This is related to the disruption of the hormonal changes in the woman’s body during pregnancy and untreated cervical damage (“A List of Major Physical Related to Abortion”).
