Carafem, an abortion “spa” which aims to provide a relaxing experience for women who want to terminate their pregnancy, has recently shared a story about a comedian who had abortion just to travel and to try drugs.
In an entry on the Carafem website titled “My abortion gave me the freedom to continue making plans and dreaming big,” a comedian named Lucy Samuel shared how she became pregnant at age 25 when she skipped birth control and was just relying on Plan B. Although the abortion stories on the website aim to take the stigma out of the procedure, Samuel’s story may not have the intended result, says Live Action.
Samuel, a comedian who jokes and talks about abortion even during inappropriate times, found herself pregnant that time and Plan
One of the most frequently debated topics in bioethics is the morality of abortion, or the ending of a pregnancy without physically giving birth to an infant. Often times abortions are categorized into either spontaneous, a natural miscarriage; induced or intentional, which is premeditated and for any reason; or therapeutic, which albeit intentional, its sole purpose is to save the mother’s life. It seems however that moral conflicts on issue mainly arise when discussing induced abortions. In general, people universally agree it is morally wrong to kill an innocent person and in some people’s eyes induced abortions are the intentional killings of innocent persons, thus making them immoral. However not all individuals view fetuses as persons and consequentially argue it is not morally wrong to kill them.
In the news article “Abortion: Every Woman’s Rights” Sharon Smith wrote an article about women’s rights to get abortions prior to the hearing of the Planned Parenthood v. Casey court case, “which threatened to severely restrict women access to abortion” (Smith). Women wanted reproductive control over their lives and felt that they were not equal to men no matter what advances they got at work and how high their level of education was. The women’s right movement wanted women to have the choice of abortion for all women, the rich and the poor. In the US, thirty- seven states did not provide
One of the most contentious issues in America, abortion, is still discussed on a daily basis. Women should be able to make their own decision with their bodies because it involves their bodies, health, and futures. Conversely, one of America’s presidential candidates wants to repeal Roe v. Wade, which allows women to make their own intimate decision. In one of his recent speeches, Donald Trump states that women who seek abortion should be subject to “some form of punishment” (Flegenheimer, et al.). Trump was highly criticized for making this statement, but he continued to mention that ripping a baby out of the womb on the last day of pregnancy is immoral. Trump seems to misunderstand that most abortions happen during the first trimester of

It was a lovely spring day on April 6th, 1977 when a little girl was delivered. This delivery was not your normal delivery; it involved hours of preparation, but not your typical preparation. For the last seven and a half months a mother had been carrying this child in her womb. Running out of options she visited a clinic called Planned Parenthood hoping for advice. They advised her to have a late term saline abortion. This abortion method causes the next 24 hours to be an ongoing battle as the child will burn from the inside out before the mother delivers the lifeless fetus. Not until after the delivery does the abortionist confirm the successful abortion. In this instance however, this little girl received a miracle.
Abortion is a touchy subject in today’s society and has been debated among the general public for decades now. Before legalization for abortions, women sought abortions in any way they could. If a woman had money then she could get away with leaving the United States and having a procedure done at a foreign country or she could pay off a doctor in America though many risk were included. Many homemade methods were also created among desperate women, which included douching with soup or bleach, or inserting a wire coat hanger in attempt to terminate the fetus (OBOS, 2014).
Imagine yourself in mid-1960, let’s say 1966, you were violated at your workplace, you do not have the money nor the support to raise the child. Now, you’re desperate for looking a solution, then you heard rumors of do-it-yourself methods and tools such as douches, herbal drinks, falling down stairs, inserting many tools (including knitting needles, crochet hook, hat and bobby pins and yes, coat hangers were the most common.) But those ideas seem too dangerous for you and your health. Until one day your friend offered you to go to a clinic where she had hers, with no any other choice, you agreed and went. When you arrived, you were asked to be blindfolded and be taken to a room, now feeling terror

Unlike in England where the author says pregnancy is the result of a need to fill a hole in one’s life, here in the States it is most likely an accident caused by a lack of understanding of the dangers that come with not having proper knowledge or resources regarding
Abortion has been a controversial topic since being declared a “fundamental right” following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade in 1973. There are two different areas of advocacy: those who identify themselves as pro-life, and those who identify by pro-choice. Pro-life activists view abortion as an immoral killing of a human being, and do not condone it under any circumstance. Pro-choice activists believe abortion is a civil right, and women should be in control of any decision regarding their bodies.
In 1987, the Alan Guttmacher Institute, issued a questionnaire for around 2000 women who have used an abortion clinic. A shocking 71 percent of women received the late termination pregnancy option because they did not realize they were pregnant. 24 percent of the women were too nervous to have this safe surgery, and put it off; and another 2 percent of women were forced to wait because of fetal issues going on with their pregnancy (Finer 3).
Abortion has always been a controversial topic in the United States for decades. Abortion is like taking the life of someone without their permission so it is technically “murder”. There is no such thing as an unwanted child, millions of families in the United States are always willing to adopt. On the other hand, there are circumstances where a woman can barely care and sustain herself so chances are that she will not be able to take care of her child. Or when a rape occurs, having an abortion is not as bad as when a woman has sex without protection and knows she has the chance to get pregnant.
Women have right to control their own bodies and decisions. As human free will, women can determine their decision for their future. It is sometimes inevitable to maintain their lifestyle that they have before they become pregnant. Although pregnant is the responsibility of both, woman and man, as a result of having sex, women should give up their career or study because pregnancy and childbirth are not as easy at all as just people generally think. Furthermore, women who have the abortion are in difficult condition, which is the unwanted. The Guttmacher institute research said that unintended or unplanned pregnancies were 41 percent of national pregnancies (Abortion Worldwide: A Decade of Uneven Progress). This high rate is from the unavoidable inability of
Partial-birth abortions in the third trimester, and the recent “day-after” or the RU-486 pill, now add a new attitude on the abortion issue. Partial-birth abortions and abortions in the third trimester are exceedingly controversial, because they involve the termination and/or expulsion of an actual fetus from the womb, whereas many early-prenatal abortions involve the expulsion of the embryo. In some countries, and for a while in America, partial-birth abortions meant that the baby was breached halfway through the womb, and then its neck was broken, which killed the baby instantly. Since then, the United States has banned it as a result of the many infuriated pro-life and even some pro-choice members who found it to be extremely inhumane. The RU-486 pill sends messages telling the brain that the woman that was inseminated, was already pregnant, and that the ovum that had been created, is removed because the body believes it is already impregnated. These operations raise many of the same problems as abortion itself.
