Birth Control And Abortion

.. roversial form of abortion is the partial-birth abortion.

Using an ultra sound the abortionist grabs the baby's legs with forceps and pulls them out into the birth canal. The abortionist then delivers the entire baby except for the head and continues by jamming scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.The scissors are removed and a suction is inserted.

The baby's brains are sucked out causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed ( Partial). It has been proven that babies can feel pain in these procedures. The fetus can feel pain because it is alive and growing like a human. Something that is not living cannot feel pain.If one crushes a pop can as the abortionist crushes a baby, the pop can feels no pain because it is not living.

The baby feels pain because it is a living human being. Abortion is wrong because it deprives the baby of rights and happiness because of the suffering it must go through during the abortion. Women who have these painful abortions suffer emotional stress, and years after having the procedure they discover that they destroyed a human life. The women finally realize after many years of emotional stress the cause of it.

After 5-10 years 54 per cent of mothers choosing abortion had nightmares and 96 per cent felt they had taken a life a from study by Dr Anne Speckhard of the University of Minnesota.People need to listen to the women who have had abortions in the past to hear what they are really about. *From them people can learn much more than a clinic can teach. After having an abortion, many women can tell a person the true facts--abortion is murder.

'Recent evidence indicates many women harbor strong guilt feelings long after their abortions. Guilt is one important cause of child battering and infanticide. Abortion lowers women's self-esteem and there are studies reporting a major loss of self-esteem in battering parents,' said Dr. Phillip Ney.There are places that give abortion counseling. However, many of these places do not give accurate information Accurate information is needed so women, and men, know that abortion will take away a human life.

Ninety-five percent of women who had abortions said their Planned Parenthood counselors gave . . .little or no biological information about the fetus which the abortion would destroy. Where 80 percent of women who have had abortions from Planned Parenthood said little or no health information was given to them about potential health risks (Factbot). Women need to be told the true facts of abortion.

They need to see the fetal monitors. In many clinics they are not allowed to see the ultra sound.The doctors do not want a woman to see that the baby inside of her is alive. This is wrong because it not only denies the child the rights such as the right to be heard and seen, it denies women the truth. The truth must be told and shown.

Shari Richard, an Ultrasonographer, said, 'In fact many women will come to me considering an abortion, and I have been personally told that I am to turn the monitor away from her view so that seeing her baby jump around on the screen does not influence her choice' (Factbot). Abortion clinic staff members are taught how to sell abortions, told never to give alternatives, and told to tell the women how much trouble a baby is. Women are not told the facts.It is obvious from the ultra sound that the baby they are carrying is alive, and abortion kills the baby. If the clinic can clearly see that the baby is alive, the mother should also see.

Abortion is described as a decision between a women and her doctor. Yet over 90 percent don't even see the doctor until he appears to abort their baby. This should not be the case.The clinics are hiding and withholding the true facts.

Clinics need to shape-up and tell the truth to women: Abortion is wrong. Abortion is one of the key issues facing the human race today. This issue, like many, forces people to take sides against each other, and is one of the main factors people look at when voting. In a 1973 court ruling, known as Roe v.

Wade, abortion became legal.Since this ruling the number of teen pregnancies has increased from 4.94 per cent in 1972 to 9.92 per cent in 1990.

The number of teen abortions has doubled from 19.9 per thousand teenagers in 1972 to 43.8 per thousand teenagers in 1990 while the number of teen births has increased from 22.8 to 42.

5 per thousand. The number of births to unmarried women has increased 7.3 per cent during the years from1972 to 1990 while the number of abortions increased 11.7 per cent during those years (Factbot).

Abortion should no longer be legal. It is rapidly becoming a form of birth control.No longer must women worry about protection, if they should conceive a child, they can choose to take its life. One-third of all babies (Planned Parenthood) are aborted, which entitles the abortion industry to $500 million a year in income in the United States (Factbot). Abortion is the most frequent surgical operation in the US, and the leading cause of death in Minnesota (Factbot). Currently there are two million couples waiting for adoption in America, yet there are 30 abortions for every one adoption (Factbot).

These statistics are true. Abortion needs to be stopped.There are arguments against the stopping of abortion. However, there are solutions. Many say abortion should be legal if the woman's life is in danger.

Only three percent of all abortions are done for the mother's health, where 40 percent of women who have abortions will have more than one, and 50 per cent use it as their sole means of birth control (Factbot). As for the argument that women will do them illegally in the back alleys endangering their lives, 72 per cent said they would definitely not have sought an abortion if they were illegal, and death happens during a legal abortion too; maternal death rates for first trimester abortions are 61 per 100,000 cases (Factbot).Abortion is clearly the taking of a human life, an action that is wrong under the United States constitution. Women must stop being denied the facts and start being told the truth. The people of the US must start standing up for the rights of all people, born and unborn. Abortion concerns not only the unborn child , it concerns every one of us.

said former President of the United States Ronald Reagan (Factbot). Abortion concerns all of us. People need to start caring for the women who are hurting as a result of an abortion, and women who are struggling over the decision. People must tell them the facts, and work at making the conditions better for women, because 84 per cent would keep their babies under better circumstances (Factbot).America needs to open her ears to the screams of the 1.
