Open-Season-On-Pregnancy-Women Syndrome Analysis

It is an issue that put most nurses in examining their own personal bias or beliefs in order to uphold advocacy in a nonjudgmental manner like Emily Kerber. Her primary goal as counsellor in a Pregnancy Resource Center is to offer support to women seeking assistance with unplanned pregnancies. The assistance include meeting with these women prior to their ultrasound appointment, providing a safe environment and emotional support, performing pregnancy tests and discussing for any other tests required. The counselling nature of Kerber’s calling makes her as God’s instrument in communicating with these people (who feel helpless or think that there is no other option stored for them). Kerber (2015) mentioned that “understanding the heart and mind of a woman facing unplanned pregnancy can be a challenging. While many women are elated and overjoyed to discover they are pregnant, not every woman feels that way” (p. 20), this statement simply suggests that she was experiencing difficulties in dealing with these crucial situations some time in her nursing practice (as expected in her background as a pro-life supporter) . Kerber mentioned that the transition of roles, from being the Director of Nursing at a licensed non-profit, pro-life medical clinic (clinical setting) to a counsellor (in counselling room) is an act of stepping out from her comfort

Some of the most common symptoms include a of loss inhibition (saying or doing things which are socially inappropriate), reduced empathy (problems understanding and responding to the needs of others), problems with planning and organising activities, increased distractibility, changes in food preference (a propensity to eat large quantities of sweet food) and a tendency to develop compulsive rituals (e.g. watching the same movie repeatedly).

Pro-choice has been a major topic ever since the women’s movements started in the early 1970’s, a question sometimes asked is that, if part of the population are so pro-life and worry about protecting a fetus, how come when the child is conceived they suddenly bash at you for having that unwanted child anyways, and that is hypocritical. In this essay, details include would be why people choose to be pro-choice, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the battle for reproductive justice for women and their right to make decisions for their body, advocates that are pro-choice, proposals for a pro-choice government, and Tomi Lahren being fired for stating she was pro-choice.

the mother’s right to make choices about her body: whether or not she wants to keep the

We are living in a new era where technology can help women have babies in unconventional ways. Having children is a personal choice. In some people’s view, government should not be regulating when people should and should not start having a family. The ethical issue is when the parents start applying for governmental benefits after the baby is conceived via In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and born posthumously. When practicing IVF, are we violating God’s will? This paper is to discuss the views of the four candidates interviewed in relation to posthumous conception and delivery, their views on benefits/inheritance entitlement to these babies, and ethical principles and theories in

The author describes various interactions between mothers and the medical system, in which the discussion crosses normal physician/patient boundaries (Frederick 2016). This is seen as acceptable because we have been deeply ingrained with the fear of disability and abnormality, that it has become acceptable to chastise individuals for “bringing a burden” on to society. There are distinct similarities between Scientific Motherhood and Fat-Talk Nation, in that both writings delineate how strongly we react to individuals who differ from our standard of normal, and how we openly accept and encourage abuse directed at them when they do deviate from our “normal” (Frederick 2016; . Frederick describes various instances in which mothers were subtly (or not so subtly) encouraged to seek abortions or sterilization (Frederick 2016). These exchanges are similar to those in the film No Mas Bebes were Mexican-American women were seen as a “threat” to the “normal” U.S. life during the 1960s and 1970s, and were thus forcibly sterilized without consent (Espino 2015). These examples show how these groups are being targeted as bad biocitizens. They are seen as being purposely bringing a burden to society, which allows for their

Abortion has been a controversial topic and fluctuated in-and-out of political discussions for decades, but has started to become a more popular debate topic as of late. People have debated between “Pro-Choice”, a woman’s right to choose, as well as “Pro-Life”, strictly anti-abortion, as well as the lawmakers part in recognizing the issue. A Harvard College newspaper printed an opinion-based article by Tanya Luhrmann for Abortion Rights Action Week called, The Pro-Choice Argument. The author claims that a powerful part of American life is the experience of being a mother, and that each side, “Pro-Choice” and “Pro-Life”, feels attacked from one another affecting the mother and child relationship.

Pro-choice has been a major topic ever since the women’s movements started in the early 1970’s, a question sometimes asked is that, if part of the population are so pro-life and worry about protecting a fetus, how come when the child is conceived they suddenly bash at you for having that unwanted child anyways, and that is hypocritical.

Ellen Goodman is a Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist, author, and speaker. She dedicated her life to helping bring about change in the social climate. “She helped people think through abortion rights, birth control, women in the workplace, change in marital responsibilities — any social issue that affected American life” (“Ellen Goodman,” n.d.). Goodman’s article “Womb for Rent” is no different. She quite eloquently ebbs and flows through logos and pathos, weaving the information together. She subtly hints on what her thoughts are on the subject, guiding the audience to form an opinion based on personal perceptions of what is right.

In the article, “Becoming a Mother Made Me Even More Pro-Choice,” Maureen Shaw explains how she fully understands why people fight for pro-choice and points how her being a mother made her more of a supporter because of it. She proves the reason is not only because of the idea of abortion everyone is scared about, financial matters, avoiding to be a single mother, or simply not being ready but that it’s because “they respect children and motherhood” (Shaw). To make people understand the meaning of abortion and why it’s so important is the first

With the discovery of a pregnancy comes a wide range of possible emotions that can be experience for those that are expecting a newborn. Under certain circumstances, such as proper financial means and emotional and mental readiness, a child is cause for celebration and happiness. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and in the case of the alternate reality of The Walking Dead, Lori’s pregnancy proves to have come at a time less than convenient, prompting the controversial question of how to react in regards to the news. In a broken down society where the surviving population fears for their lives and struggles to support themselves, the added burden of a newborn can cause an added strain that could potentially lead to the question of whether or not to go through with the pregnancy. The issues that could potentially arise with both the pregnancy and childbirth, as well the years immediately after, relate very closely to those that can and do plague individuals in impoverished communities, putting into debate if the child itself is worth the trouble of the issues that go along with it.

In In Re A.C. the trial court ordered a cesarean be done at the request of the hospital administration without her informed consent and against her mother’s wishes in order to save the life of her fetus because physicians felt she would not live long enough to give birth. This case presented one of the earliest controversies surrounding the maternal-fetal conflict and a pregnant women’s rights to informed consent, privacy and bodily integrity. Any situation where the pregnant woman’s well-being or wishes conflicts with fetal benefit creates a maternal–fetal conflict. Past and recent court decisions “aimed at protecting the fetus as separate from the woman have challenged the rights of pregnant women to make decisions about medical interventions and have criminalized maternal behavior that is believed to be associated with fetal harm or adverse perinatal outcomes” (American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), 2005). Since being pregnant does not limit a woman’s right to informed consent, right of privacy and bodily integrity; any medical procedure taken on behalf of the fetus must require consent by the pregnant woman directly if possible and not forced by the courts or state interests.

According to the findings by Mariotti (2012), the psychosocial and emotional components are an integral part of every woman’s pregnancy, and she can make decisions of whether to sustain life in her own uterus or end it (p. 269). At the same time, numerous studies have questioned the personhood of the fetus to provide well-evidenced approaches to evaluation of its social and legal status. Does a woman provide it with all necessary resources and substances like a donor? Does she have a right to extract it from her body in case she does not want to give it life, has some health care issues that put her and the baby at risk, or carries a fetus that was the result of a rape? All those questions are easier to ask than answer, but women should have the right to do with their body everything they want.

“In the United Kingdom provocative images of the fetus generated by four dimensional ultrasonography have fuelled a reassessment of fetal capabilities along with suggestions that the fetus can respond both emotionally and cognitively. Subsequent political and media discussion in the United Kingdom has debated changing abortion laws and procedures to mitigate against fetal pain (DerbyShire).” This could impact the choices of many tremendously, if society would ever talk about abortion in a civilized manner even though it is very hard to discuss, many lives could be saved.
