Gender Differences Between Pregnant Women And Medical Abortions

The Abortion stigma and healthcare disparities have always existed amongst low income African American adolescent women in the U.S. society. The abortion stigma has been described as a negative attribute associated with women who seek to terminate a pregnancy that marks them, internally or externally, as inferior to ideals of womanhood (Walden, 2011). The experience of stigma can depend on individual characteristics, such as religious beliefs, cultural values, but most importantly, economic status (Dehlendorf, C., Harris, L. H., & Weitz, T. A., 2013). This research paper will specifically examine the disparities and associated stigmas within African-American adolescent women having selective abortion in low income communities. It is important

During the 1st trimester of pregnancy you are allowed either the medical procedure or the surgical procedure. The medical procedure is a non- surgical abortion where drugs to induce labor. The woman is either given Methotrexate which is typically used to treat cancer and rheumatoid arthritis because it attacks the fast growing cells. This medication will cause the fetus and placenta to part from the uterus. This drug is either given orally or injected by a doctor. Another medical procedure is the Misoprostol tablets which are typically used to prevent stomach ulcers caused by inflammation.This medication will cause contractions and force the fetus out of the body, this process may take a couple of hours or a few days depending on the

The Centers for Disease Control said that the of dying from childbirth is 13x higher than that of an abortion, and the CDC’s researchers have also concluded that the abortions procedures won’t affect a women’s reproduction in the future. So this also means that “If abortion were illegal, well-intentioned but unskilled practitioners would perforate uteruses, misjudge the length of gestation, do incomplete abortions, and otherwise botch the procedure.” Making women’s health suffer and the death rate to increase.

At 13 weeks into her pregnancy, 29-year-old Jessica Smith lost her 5th baby, lifesitenews states. “I expected to be handed a blob that early into pregnancy. But instead, I was handed a perfectly formed tiny baby. He had perfectly formed fingers and toes. He had tiny, completely identifiable ears, nose, and mouth,” Jessica Smith told lifesitenews. According to Procon, abortion is one of the most debated topics in the United States (Procon).  Planned Parenthood states, there are two different ways a woman can undergo an abortion, the abortion pill, or an in-clinic abortion. The pill only works up to ten weeks into a pregnancy. The doctor will give a woman her first pill in the clinic, and anywhere from six to 48 hours later, a woman can take the second one at home. There are two different types of in-clinical abortions. A suction abortion is used for a pregnancy anywhere between ten and 16 weeks. It uses suction to empty the uterus. Dilation and evacuation is used for a pregnancy anytime after 16 weeks and involves suction, and medical tools to empty a woman’s uterus (Planned Parenthood). Abortion results in terminating an unwanted pregnancy and should be illegal worldwide.

To highlight the overwhelming gendered effect on abortion, I want you to imagine yourself as a cis male. You’ve gone to a hospital because you had been feeling unwell due to poor dieting choice and following a routine blood test, doctors found that you were a perfect match for another patient with kidney disease. Suppose the doctor put you under anesthesia, and the next morning you found yourself connected, not to the violinist, but to a child that you did not know you fathered. The only way your child will survive is if his circulatory system is plugged into your system due to matching blood types. Your connection to the child is biological, yet you haven’t developed any social bonds yet.

In this part of the study was reported that the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants. According to this. Two hundred and twenty nine participants agreed to volunteer for this study. The sample was 33.6% male (n = 77) and 66.4% female (n =152). Students enrolled in a course during the spring semesters of 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. Our sample academic grade consisted of 20.1% freshman (n = 46), 22.7% sophomore (n = 52), 31.0% junior (n = 71) and 26.2 % senior (n = 60). See Appendix A.

Health care professionals have a significant role in the provision of abortion services. Health care professionals has an obligation to treat patients to the best of their ability and protect their privacy. Provisions of the Affordable Care Act states it is unlawful to discriminate against patients based on their sex, race, color, and other statuses such as medical history (Rehnstrom 2015). The ruling of Judge O’Connor blocks this provision of the Affordable Care Act. Which can have a detrimental effect on the health of the community. Allowing health care providers to refuse services to women who has previously had an abortion may create situation where patient will not truthfully disclose information about previous procedures and health issues which will affect the quality of care the patient receives. It will also reduce access to quality health care within the rural and low income community and may discourage individuals from seeking health care services.

There are more than 40 million abortions per year. Approximately 125,000 abortions happened today. There have been more than 1.3 billion abortions worldwide since 1980. The numbers grow every day. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, and in the US, nine out of ten abortions are done in the first twelve weeks of the pregnancy, or first trimester. Very few abortions are done after the sixteenth week of the pregnancy. There are different types of abortions including: manual vacuum suctions curettage, saline, the abortion pill or shot, and several more (Meconi). Women can get receive abortion during the first eight weeks of her pregnancy Pregnancies can be terminate the pregnancy during the third trimester or around 22

First, abortion is the intentional termination of ending a pregnancy. There are two different methods of abortion. Medical abortion is when the women take two sets of tablets to end her pregnancy. Surgical abortion is when local or general anesthetic and/or sedation are involved in the minor operation of the pregnancy tissue removal (Nina). In the United States, more than 40% of all women will get an abortion to end their pregnancy (Trupin). In 1973, the United States Supreme Court decided to make abortion legal. It was okay to go through with an abortion up to twenty-eight weeks gestation (Trupin). Specialists in women’s health such as physicians, physician assistants, midwives, and nurse practitioners can perform abortions. Women around age twenty to twenty-four years old are most likely to have an abortion done(Trupin).

Surgical abortions or “vacuum suctioning” are the most common in the United States. Surgical abortions begin with a pelvic examination. The doctors than administer a pain killer, usually Motrin or Tylenol and an anti-anxiety medication usually Ativan. The surgeon also gives anesthesia via IV injection to numb the cervix. Woman can also choose general anesthesia, where they are put to sleep during the entire operation. This is usually done in hospital settings and can sometimes require an additional fee. Next the cervix is dilated or opened so the vacuum tube can be inserted. The tube is used to suction out the fetus and all its additional contents. The procedure takes anyway between 10 and 15 minutes. Many insurance companies and public aid insurances pay a portion of this procedure.

The Civil Rights Movement and the war protests encouraged women to start speaking up for their own rights. Many women felt that they were not being treated fairly in our country so they took their message to politicians. There were also many women’s organizations that were formed during this time that helped create a lot of pressure to change the abortion laws. Women also felt it was important to speak up about their rights because of issues like rape, sexual abuse, or other violent situations. One topic that brought a lot of controversy to the women’s movement was abortion. Abortion had been banned in most states and was only done is secret which could be very dangerous for the women. The one thing that brought the controversy to the

We should realize that women have abortions for some reasons. Regardless of the fact that we differ on the issue of fetus removal, we can concur that these are private individual choices we all must have the capacity to make taking into account our own particular circumstances, convictions, and values. We ought to regard and bolster a woman and her family as they face the life-changing choice of whether to have a kid. It is neither my place nor our administration's place to settle on such a vital life choice for another person. We all think about existence and about doing our best for our loved ones. When we bring life into the world we need them to have the chance to carry on with a decent life. What's more, we need to assemble a superior

Abortion is a problem in the world that should be solved. Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removing the embryo or fetus before the time it can survive outside the uterus. The way the doctors take the fetus or embryo out of the uterus is inhumane. This is usually done by surgery or on some occasions, they have the women taking medication. In surgery, the doctors vacuum aspiration. Vacuum aspiration is where they use suction aspiration to remove contents

Abortion has been a controversial topic in the past few decades, and will probably continue to be an ongoing debate whether it is ethical or not. An abortion is defined as when a pregnant woman decides to terminate her pregnancy before the fetus is able to survive outside of the uterus on its own. Not only are abortions done before the fetus is considered viable, there have been cases when abortions have been performed late into the pregnancy. I will be discussing the stages of fetus development, pro-life vs. pro-choice, acceptable circumstances to have an abortion, and the different procedures that can be performed to carry out the abortion.

There are two types of abortion, medical and surgical. A medical abortion ends pregnancy through taking medications and letting the unborn child pass naturally through you. A surgical abortion, the most violent thing you can do to a life, is done by emptying the uterus using medical instruments. There are many different ways to perform a surgical abortion. An abortion performed through the twelfth week of pregnancy after dilation of the cervix is done by inserting a curette into the uterus, cutting the baby into pieces, and extracting it. The uterus wall is then scraped to confirm that it is empty. Many people don’t realize what is being done to the baby and therefore don’t think twice before having this done to them. An abortion performed up to eighteen weeks of the pregnancy is done by inserting forceps into the uterus to grab and twist the baby’s body to dismember it. During this procedure if the head of the fetus is too large it must be crushed in order to remove it. Performed in the second and third trimester is a method that has been banned in the United States. It is when forceps are inserted into the uterus to extract the baby by the feet, pulling it until just the head is left inside the cervix. Scissors then puncture the skull, allowing it to be collapsed and the contents to be suctioned out. The dead baby is then fully removed
