Abortion (from the Latin abortus - miscarriage) - is an artificial pregnancy interruption. In general, it is a removal of the fetus from the uterus carried out by under the age of 22 weeks from conception of fetus. The operation is usually carried out in an instrumental or medical way. Every year about 46 million abortions are held in the world. This operation is permitted in 54 countries, which account for 61% of the world's population (Brown, 2014).
The question of banning or permitting abortion is being discussed in the media constantly. However, it is necessary to realize that such an operation is the choice of the woman. The decision must be for her, not for the church, the state or a group of moralists to make.
Abortion can be artificially prohibited, but what to do with the stories about abandoned children, abused and unwanted kids? Moreover, the consequences of criminal abortion are much heavier than the legal. It may be better to carry out these operations under the supervision of doctors or government program to organize children's planning, which generally would bring to a minimum the number of abortions. Our population is, unfortunately, still illiterate in this important matter. For many girls, an abortion is a quick means of getting rid of problems.
Abortion should be banned as an immoral act. There are church, moralists, but there is also another side of the problem. For example, each year nearly 13,000 women in the US made abortion for pregnancy after rape or incest (Culture & Society, 2015). Often doctors recommend to resort to such means for medical reasons. Everywhere there are cases of termination of pregnancy, as fetal development occurs with deviations. Is it possible to order the power to give birth in such cases? To deny is the most simple, but is the public right to deny a woman the right to choose?
Abortions usually occur within a few weeks or even months of pregnancy. In countries where this operation is legal and therefore have statistics on them, the majority of abortions are done up to 13 weeks. More than half of all abortions performed are up to 6 weeks after fertilization.
Abortion is dangerous and even can lead to death. To date, this operation is almost secure according to the level of modern medicine. The risk of death is fiyr times less than for normal operations tubal ligation. In the case of a failed abortion with the term of pregnancy up to 9 weeks, the risk of death a woman is only one chance for 260 million. Even during the birth mothers risk over 20 times more. Operation cause minor health complications just from less than 1%, the serious complications (bleeding, infection) may receive only 0.1% of women (Carrier, n.d.). Of course, it refers to those transactions that take place under close medical supervision. Referring to his grandmother, or "doctor-tested" know that no one can give any guarantees.
Abortion may entail childlessness. Modern medicine has not reached such a level in order to ensure that abortion would not entail infertility or premature labor, miscarriages. Although it is not necessary to take this information, one cannot neglect the issue of procreation. Medical abortion has become almost a means of contraception for some. Of course, frequent unnatural intervention in the body may not pass without leaving a trace. This is especially true for young women.
Abortion can be done, as the timing of such children will still feel nothing. This, unfortunately, is not. Starting from 7-9 weeks, the embryo already makes hands and feet movement, and at 10-11 weeks, the baby feels the touch, pain, reacts to light, noise and heat (Debate, n.d.).
Dangerous operation.
Abortion can lead to serious complications, which in future may make conception and motherhood impossible. Moreover, abortion increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage and inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs.
Every man has the right to live.
If a woman has the opportunity to give birth, she must necessarily give birth, because it is a new soul coming into the world and the expectant mother is simply a killer if this will ruin the soul. In the end, there are many ways to find a different home for the baby - to give the children's home, in a childless family, etc. Therefore, an abortion should be allowed only when a woman's life is threatened.
There is always another way.
A common myth "not to produce poverty" is not true. Young families have all sorts of support, benefits and so on. Our ancestors gave birth even when there was war, famine, and still have all lived and rejoiced. Selfishness modern parents pushing them to the fact that they want to live only for themselves, but as an excuse to bring the argument that they have no money for the children of good content.
The child brings positive changes.
Life of some people changes for the better after the birth of their children. The birth of a new man is a miracle. Moreover, when a father and mother see it themselves, their repetition - their happiness has no boundaries. It has been observed that women after the appearance of a baby into the world become more gentle and patient, and men more conscious and responsible. Therefore, the birth of a child can improve a person's character and even to improve relations in the family.
Violation of the natural right for life.
The woman has no right to have an abortion because her rights end where the rights of the new baby began forming in her stomach.
Murder of a human being.
Of course, someone will say that the embryo is not a person. However, again, from a biological point of view, embryo is a person at a certain stage of its development.
