"Abortion." it is a word that runs
through the minds of many. It means the removal of an embryo or fetus
from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy. We have all heard of it, but somehow we end up classifying,
judging it the same way under any circumstance. Many people are small minded
and believe that in any situation it is wrong, or selfish. Somehow knowing all
of the possible circumstances or events leading up to a pregnancy they still
vote for abortion to be illegalized. They choose their way and they recruit
other who have no problem restricting women. These are what they call ProLifers.
The argument to them is, is it right by their book? Their answer is no. It is not, should a woman
have a choice to do as she wishes with the embryo her partner and herself has
consumed? yes. Is it right to abort a
pregnancy? The answer to this is that there isn't one answer. How could one
answer can not apply to the millions of different categorie? The question is
should an unfortunate innocent life be born into a bad situation. Is it right to
bring a child into a setting in which it is unwanted, or can not be properly
taken care of?
There is , for the most part,
one thought in the minds of those who oppose abortion. Abortion is wrong. Many
are small minded enough to think that everyone think the same. Therefore they
try to restrict the right to abort by choice. Somehow the thought of whether
they are taking away a woman's right is outrageous and unjust flies from their
minds. Abortion is one concept but it is infused with many subcategories as to
why it is chosen. For example in 2011 a set of laws on abortion took effect. In
2012 from January to June two hundred seventy three abortion limitations were
proposed at the state level. Two hundred thirty five or nine out of ten did not
have an exception for victims of rape. In fact a statement made by Barbara
Listing, the president of Right to Life Michigan, says " It's simply,
like, nobody plans to have an accident in a car accident, nobody plans to have
their homes flooded. You have to buy extra insurance for those." This statement
was made in regard to the decision that was being made to raise insurance
coverage costs for abortions, even in cases of rape. Now having many women who
are in need or an abortion but have a low income this makes their struggle
harder. When an abortion can not be done it leads to more children being born
into poverty with struggling parents. Another circumstance are cases of incest.
Incest breeding between two people who share a large number of genes. This
causes many different disorders within the offspring of the couple. Examples of
said disorders are Cystic Fibrosis, Sickle Cell Anemia, Albinism, Infertility,
Cleft Palates, Heart Problems, Facial Asymmetry, Low Birth Weight, Slow
Development Rate, and Neonatal Mortality. Many offspring also suffer from early
deaths. Many cases of children resulting from incest are also cases in which a
woman was raped or manipulated by a family member.
If abortion is completely
illegalized victims of rape, and Incest would suffer. As well as children
produced from a case of Incest. Why put the lives of innocent women, and
children on the line? Why force a child with extreme deformities to be born?
why put the lives of both the mother and child in danger because of the belief
of some that abortion is immoral?
Now there is the question of whether
abortion makes a woman infertile or not. This question was answered in nineteen
ninety three when the Joint Royal College of General Practitioners and The
Royal College of Obstericians and Gynecologists conducted a fertility experiment.
The experiment showed that women who had two abortions had the same level of
fertility as women who had at least two natural pregnancies. One other disproven
argument frequently presented is that somehow an abortion can cause cancer.
This statement was disproven by the NCI also known as the National Cancer
Institution and the ACS a.k.a the American Cancer Society. Both organizations discredit
the statement that abortion causes cancer.
In truth many from what i have seen
many who oppose abortion do not fully grasp why it should be a choice for all
women. Their arguments have been discredited, and many haven't really done
extensive research as they should. The right of women to do as they wish with
their bodies has been taken away because some believe that abortion is immoral.
Why should a woman's right to herself be taken away and her decision be predestined
for her yet a man having a vasectomy is legal? All woman should have the right
to their bodies. Women should be able to decide what to do with her baby, and
body instead of being forced into something that could leave her with a burden
that she doesn't want. This kind of situation could put both mother and child
especially in an extremely stressful, unstable/unhealthy environment
