Statistics Of Abortion Research Paper

The topic covered in this research paper is abortion. This paper looks into the history of abortion, the pro-life view of abortion and the pro-choice view of abortion. Under history of abortion the information included is the time line of significant events of abortion such as becoming legal, also different ways in ancient times women would try to use abortions. The upgrading of technology making abortion safer and even if abortion was illegal women would still find a way to abort a baby are also covered under the history of abortion. Under pro-life choice for abortion looks into abortion murder, the rights of human and the rights of the unborn and that a women doesn't have a right to terminate her own fetus. Under pro- choice

Jaden is a fifteen year old girl in high school, one night she went to a party with her boyfriend with no parent supervision so there was a lot of underage drinking, she doesn’t remember a lot from the party that night because she was under the influence, but she does remember being upstairs with her boyfriend. A few days later her boyfriend had told her that she needed to take a pregnancy test because he didn’t use protection, later that day she found out that she was pregnant. Jaden is scared to tell her parents that she is pregnant but she knows she has to tell them so they can help her get an abortion. Teens should be able to get an abortion without parental consent because taking care of a child while in high school can be challenging, it can be hard to provide for a child as a teen, and although it means you have to kill your own child, having an abortion is cheaper than taking care of a baby.

The topic of aborting an innocent fetus has been overwhelmingly controversial in the United States. The two sides to this ongoing debate is pro-life advocates and pro-choice advocates. Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removing a fetus or embryo before it can survive outside the uterus; whether it is an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy. Abortions are most often performed during the first twenty-eight weeks of pregnancy and can be performed as a medical or surgical procedure. Medical abortions include two types of abortion pills; while the surgical procedures include vacuum aspiration and dilation and evacuation. Ultimately, I am one of the many “pro-lifers”, and I strongly agree that abortion should be illegal because it negatively affects our people. Women across the nation are becoming impregnated and following a short amount of judgement time, turn to abortion to solve their problems but in the end hurt themselves with this decision. Abortions should be illegal because it is immoral and unconstitutional, causes severe mental and physical issues, and negatively impacts the economy. “During the ancient Roman times it has been supposed that abortion and the destruction of unwanted children was permissible, but as our civilization has aged, it seems that such acts were no longer acceptable by rational human beings, so that in 1948, Canada along with most other nations in the world signed a declaration of the United Nations promising every human being the right to life”

My second argument against abortion is due to the physical health issues having an abortion can cause for women. There are minor complications such as: minor infections, bleeding, fevers, abdominal pain, gastro disturbances, and vomiting that can occur as a result of having an abortion. Approximately 10% of women undergoing induced abortion suffer from immediate complications, of which one-fifth (2%) were considered major. Major complications that occur include: major infections, excessive bleeding, embolism, perforation of the uterus, anesthesia complications, convulsions, hemorrhage, cervical injury and endotoxic shock. Aside from the potential dangers of the abortion methods in general, abortion increases a woman’s chances of having miscarriages in later pregnancies; this is especially true for younger girls who have had an abortion. Also, repeated abortions increase the level of danger (Thiroux and Krasemann). I personally know several women who have had an abortion at some point. I conducted a very short interview with three individuals asking them the following questions:

Did you know 80% of women abort their kid if they have down syndrome? Abortion is where they end the baby’s life well it is still in the womb. Abortion has been an issue since the 1960’s and continues to grow today. About 1/4 of pregnancies end in abortion and 1/3 of americans before the age of 45 have gotten an abortion. ( (Guttmacher.) Abortion should be illegal considering the reasons for it, ethics and medical effects.

Abortion has been used as a contraception for women for years who could not deal with the consequences of their actions. Many ignore the negative consequences that can come with abortion. Abortion devalues human life while causing mental and physical health issues to women. Most abortions are due to inconveniences despite the consequences many women go through. Abortion is not worth putting your health at risk. Many women need to realize that you are not only affecting one life, but you are also putting your life at risk

I loved you from the moment I knew I was having you” these are words every mother tells you. The only people that can say that are the ones that aborted the fetus. What is an abortion? An abortion is a medical producer to terminate a pregnancy. Many focus on the women ending the life of a child but not many know the mental health of the women who had the abortion. Nobody really knows the really reason half of these women get abortions but they do go through a lot of mental health problems. Women who have had at least one abortion before or after having a child have suffered from anxiety and depression.

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.

Imagine the world where abortion is not portrayed as some “cruel” or “ungodly act”, but a way for families/females to save their future children from suffering from a disease, ailment, emotional distress, or not having the necessary means to be taken care of properly. Say that you are an expecting mother, and you get told by a doctor that your baby has a high chance of dying, will have a severe disability, or that you yourself could be at risk. You have the choice to either terminate the pregnancy or go through with it knowing the risks and emotional pain that could come with it. You may not want to think about it but the cold, hard truth is that abortion has many benefits for both the mother and the fetus as well. Like saving the mother from

Abortion is way stop your pregnancy. A study at Guttmacher Institute has shown statistics about mothers who have abortions. 56% are unmarried, 61% already have children, and 58% are in their 20’s. 21% of all unplanned pregnancies end in abortion (Abortion in the United States). The Guttmacher Institute study states, “69% are economically challenged,” and “73% report religious affiliation.” 4 in 10 unplanned pregnancies end in abortion. These stats show the way that unexpected pregnancies are dealt with.

The medical statistics can be very supportive to the ban of the abortion. There are several researches that have clearly shown that there is a close relationship between the breast cancers and the abortion. The women, who have undergone the process of abortion, are highly viable for the breast cancers. There is another issue for such mothers. Most of the mothers, who have gone the process of abortion, are not in a position to have children in the rest of their life. This can be considered as a harmful situation to the family as well as to the society. The society needs the people to maintain the process of social; system but it is not possible when there is not enough people to carry out all these roles and responsibilities of the society.

The statistics on abortion shows that it has decreased over the past 8 years. There has been 1.06 million abortions performed in 2011, It has gone down from 1.21 million since 2008 that is a 13% decrease just over 3 years. There has also been 50 million abortions from 1973-2011 in the U.S. Wisconsin has been a state that has been decreasing in the abortions rate for the last few years too. ( Facts & statistics about Teen abortions). This is stating that abortions are becoming less popular.

abortions have become more common. In 2003 the abortion ratio was 241 legal abortions per

Abortion has been one of our top topics for many years now. We have two sides to this topic, either you are with it or you are against it. Many people in this world feel like its evil to kill an unborn human/baby for no reason. The other half of the people believes that a woman has the legal right to choose what she wants to do with her body. They believe no one has the right to tell them what they can or can’t do. Especially if the woman has health issues, has been raped, and evening if that baby is threatening her own life. To me it’s always depending on how a woman uses abortion. I do find it wrong if she just wants to get an abortion to go back to partying, and not taking care of themselves. I also see it in the other direction what of the women was raped? Why bring an unwanted baby into this world if no one is going to be happy. It could with be used in a good or bad way. It’s wrong to kill an unborn baby, but it’s also wrong to bring a baby that’s unwanted.

Abortion is wrong because most cases are not “rape-babies” or “I might die if I have this child.” These cases are, in fact, very minimal (www.abortionno.org). Many people are pro-choice because they think that terminating a child will also terminate the reminder that one has been raped. Nobody thinks about the fact that abortions will be killing a child and they will still be reminded that they were raped in other ways. According to abortionno.org, only 1% of abortions occur due to rape or incest. Only 6% occur because of potential health problems, potential meaning only a possibility or that something is not definite. This leaves the other 93% of unwanted pregnancies with mothers who will have perfectly healthy children and will not result in harm by giving birth to the baby. These women were not raped, and got pregnant by choice, even if it was accidental. These pregnant kill merely because it is “inconvenient” to have their child. Some of these women are teens who feel they could not raise the child. These teens could put the innocent child up for adoption or they could take the day after pill, but these are the mothers who choose to kill their unborn
