Essay On Abortion In Brazil

Women may have an abortion for a variety of reasons, but in general they choose abortion because a pregnancy at that time is in some way wrong for them. “Abortion is the removal of a fetus from the uterus before it is mature enough to live on its own” (Kuechler 1996). When this happens spontaneously we call it a miscarriage. Induced abortion is brought about deliberately by a medical procedure that ends pregnancy. Legal abortion, carried out by trained medical practitioners, is one of the most common and safest surgical procedures. “About 1.5 million American women choose to have induced abortions each year. Less than 1% of all abortion patients experience a major complication associated with the procedure” (Kuechler 1996).

The abortion controversy has been debated for years. The presidential election this year has become very involved with this topic. On one side, John F. Kerry, along with third party candidate Ralph Nader, the pro-choice supporters, sees individual choice as central to the debate: If a woman cannot choose to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, a condition which affects her body and possibly her entire life, then she has lost one of her most basic human rights. However, George Bush feels the complete opposite. He thinks having an abortion is unethical and unjust. I agree with Kerry. The government has no right to interfere with a mother’s decision and trying to deny abortion to any woman is denying that mother’s civil

Out of the 1.3% are late term abortions that had taken place due to the fact that a doctor had found a danger within the child that would in turn lead the mother to death if she had carried the infant to term.Extreme Deformities are unfortunately found at the late stage of twenty one weeks or more, in which a partial birth will have to be performed, Tara Haele informs, “ Partial birth” refers to a very specific and rare procedure called Dilation and Extraction. In which a fetus is partially pulled through the birth canal and then aborted, nearly always when the fetus cannot live outside of the womb and typically when the mother's health is in danger, the fetus has a serious abnormality or both. Such a procedure is not conducted lightly; the fetus has a fatal defect and will not survive. Or the mother is at risk of death herself” (Haele,16). A high percent of mothers may perish or deformed children may die if late term abortions become illegal. In which late term abortions are only taken into action if the infant has a severe disformity or the mother's life is in danger of death. Late term abortions are taken into account only in these dismal situations in which does not occur regularly. The government over exaggerates when they state “ They are aborting babies in the twelfth month of pregnancy” in which those

Abortion can have several effects on the society. Some may be noticeable, and others less. Abortion increases the amount of unintended pregnancies and deaths, and can affect the economy due to low birth rates (Dailard, 2001). Legalizing abortion reduces the consequences of having a child which increases the amount of sexual activity (Dailard, 2001). This results in the large number of children being conceived than there would have been if abortion wasn’t as available (Dailard, 2001). Some women who have unintended pregnancies will seek out an abortion regardless of its legal situation, even if it can put their lives in danger (Dailard 2001). In many countries where abortion is illegal, women tend to get abortions at a very high rate (Dailard, 2001). It is estimated there are around six-hundred-thousand pregnancy related deaths, and out of those, there were seventy-eight-thousand that are caused by complications due to unsafe abortions (Dailard, 2001). As the death rates increase, the birthrates decrease. As shown in a study in New Zealand, in some developing countries, abortion is leading to lower birthrates (“Impact of Abortion on Society”). Those lower birthrates can lead to a decrease in sales (“Impact of Abortion on Society”). In the twenty-two years leading up to 1999, there were over two-hundred thousand abortions, which led to the fewer sales of children items (“Impact of Abortion on Society”). As abortion has not severely effected society

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).

“After the first blush of sin comes it's indifference; and from immoral it becomes, as it were, unmoral, and not quite unnecessary to that life which we have made.” (Thoreau, paragraph 14, line 20). Abortion is an injustice. It is the rationalized “removal” of a human life from existence, and it is wrong. Arguably reminiscent of the dreaded extermination camps of the second world war, deciding the death of millions has become a matter of routine for the world today. Abortion has ceased to be considered as wrong by many, and the majority would argue that it is instead quite necessary for their lifestyle. Several scenarios which argue their point include teen pregnancy, rape, and finding out the unborn child is mentally retarded.

While Latin America’s lack of reproductive rights would seem to be common knowledge, many are unaware of how exactly women in Latin American countries are affected. In a fairly large number of countries, abortion is illegal. In regards to this, “in 2008, 12 percent of maternal deaths in Latin America and the Caribbean were due to unsafe abortions.” (Mane, 2013) 95% of the abortions

800 women die daily from “causes related to pregnancy and childbirth”, and nearly 99% of these deaths occur in developing countries(“Mic Network”). There is a high rate of newborn fatalities as well. In addition to fatal deliveries, there are also fatal abortions. Without any sort of birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancy, women take their chances at an unsafe abortion. 10-15% of pregnancy related deaths are caused by unsafe abortions(“Globalization 101”). Birth control could make such tragic issues preventable.

Abortion. When we think about the word abortion we think about is it morally right or wrong to take the life of a fetus. The topic of abortion is continually debated, there are those who have a more conservative perspective, liberal view and those in between who believe only under certain circumstances should a woman be able to have an abortion. El Salvador is one of those conservative countries, who in fact, is one of seven Latin American countries that have an abortion ban law (Alvarez, 2015, p. 674). Prior to the abortion ban law, El Salvador allowed abortions under three circumstances, which includes, to save the life of the mother, pregnancy occurred as a result of rape, and fetal impairment (Alvarez, 2015, p. 678). Then, in 1998 the

Based on the world map below, the access to abortion is easier in North America, Europe, Australia and parts of Asia. But, the fastest abortion process is in the Netherlands and Canada because there is no waiting period. The law is very liberally interpreted. Illegal abortion is almost non-existent and most abortions are performed in non-profit clinics. It’s more difficult in South America, Africa and South East Asia. To be specific, The Chilean abortion law is considered one of the most restrictive policies on abortion in the world. Even if there is a risk to a pregnant woman, she can’t have an abortion and if she does, she’ll face a prison sentence of 3-5 years. Abortion laws are stricter in certain nations due to a lot of pro-life groups

Abortion is outlawed in Brazil and it carries a penalty of up to three years in jail, but the Zika virus outbreak in the country is prompting some women to break the law just to make sure that they do not give birth to a baby with microcephaly.

We all have difficult decisions to make as we grow older, and sometimes we are lucky to make the right choices that will create our future. Men and women are always choosing what to do, what to wear or what to eat. But, while men has 99 decisions to make, women have 100 decision, including her children’s birth. Up to the present time, medicine has only developed two types of births, the natural (or vaginal) and the surgical (also known as Caesarian section) birth (Charlish). Mothers all around the world have been struggling to choose whether they will be delivering naturally or surgically. In Brazil, private hospitals and their doctors are being accused of not respecting the women’s decisions and performing a c-section against the women’s

Today, 76 percent of the world's people live in countries where induced abortion is legal, at least for health reasons, and 39 percent reside in nations where abortion is available upon request. The procedure is legal in nearly every developed country, and although a majority of developing countries prohibit abortion, 67 percent of the residents of the developing world live in countries where it is permitted at least for health reasons. The other 33 percent-more than one billion people, most of living in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the more strongly fundamentalist Islamic nations-have little of no access to legal induced abortion.
