The Pros And Cons Of Abortion

Abortion to the world is a new breakthrough for woman’s rights. That does give women more rights than before but are they ready for the process? Even though abortion legalized in the United Stated in 1973, the court cases should be looked over again. It needs to become illegal because of the reasons women started to abort, women using it as birth control, and the complications that come along with the abortion.

The abortion case known by all is the Roe V. Wade was a case that went on for months however, on January 2nd 1973, the decision was final and abortion was legal for all women to have an abortion (AbortionProCon). When abortion first legalized conceptions rose by almost thirty percent but births fell by six percent. Women have begun to

That woman usually does not know that an abortionist does not have to tell them any risks that occur after an abortion. “Abortion is the only surgery for which the surgeon is not obligated to inform the patient of the possible risks of the procedure, or even the exact nature of the procedure. Indeed, Abortion providers are the only medical personnel who have a constitutional right to withhold information, even when directly questioned by the patient” (AbortionFacts). Now sometimes nothing may happen but most women who have had an abortion are four times likely to die in the year following than women who give birth. Also the frequency of early death for infants born after their mothers have had an abortion is between two and four times the normal rate (AbortionFacts). The risks when having an abortion get worse a 2013 study revealed that abortion is significantly associated with an increased risk of breast cancer (AbortionProCon). Women obtaining abortions are at higher risk for reproductive tract infections, including HIV/AIDS and PID (Abortion). The effect mentally is never shared to the patient either a study in 2002 showed out of 173,000 American women who aborted their baby one hundred and fifty-four percent were likely to commit suicide than women who carried full term. Most abortion complications are never made known to the public

More women are having ectopic pregnancies. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when gestation takes place outside the uterus, commonly in the fallopian tube. The baby has no hope of survival, and may have to be removed to save the mother's life. Women who have had abortion are twice as high to have an ectopic pregnancy. In 1970 the incidence was 4.8 per one-thousand births; by 1980 it had risen to 14.5 per one-thousand births. That is a three-hundred percent increase since abortion legalized (AbortionFacts). Then the Elliot institution has given data indicating that women who abort are twice as likely to have preterm or post term deliveries. Placenta Previa is a condition that occurs when the placenta covers the cervix, preventing the baby from passing through the birth canal. When this occurs it requires an emergency caesarian section and can threaten the life of the mother and the child. Placenta Previa is seven to fifteen times more common among women who have aborted than those who have not. Another serious common infection is pelvic infection and brings serious complications of induced abortion and has been reported in up to thirty percent of all cases (AbortionFacts). “A study of women having first trimester abortions demonstrated “women with post labor pelvic inflammatory disease had significantly higher rates of … spontaneous abortions, secondary infertility, dyspareunia, and chronic pelvic pain’”
