The Causes Of Late-Term Abortion

1073 Words5 Pages

The safety and well-being of the fetus and mother is at stake and too much time is wasted in the waiting room while the family tries to make a decision on whether or not they should let the doctors abort the fetus before it kills the mother. While some people jump to conclusions and slander late-term abortion, they fail to understand the reasoning and the mindset behind the women or family who choose to go down that path.
Late term abortion is any method of abortion during the third trimester of the pregnancy, which is between 20 and 27 weeks just depending on where the information comes from. This is killing the fetus in viability, which is what causes so much controversy over whether it is ethical or not. Viability is a stage in the pregnancy, …show more content…

They may also argue that late-term abortion causes more stress and emotions on the mother. Or that it can cause depression, anxiety, PTSD and insomnia or disturbing dreams. Little do they know that it is not scientifically proven that those things are caused by late-term abortion. The effects of late-term abortion are depression and anxiety, but the rest of the “effects” can be caused by factors from the mother’s past traumatic experiences (APA.org). That being said, the effects of late-term abortion are blown far out of proportion in just another effort of scaring young women away from making their own decisions about their own uterus’. Another thing that scares the women from having late-term abortions done is the fear that the baby will survive the abortion attempt after undergoing the entirety of the process. Some women (and men) believe that after a fetus undergoes an abortion procedure, but still happens to make it out alive that they are murdered. Not true. By law, if an aborted fetus is born alive, the doctors and nurses are supposed to do everything in their power to keep that baby alive and to give that baby a chance at a healthy life. They are not allowed to just murder the baby once out of the womb if the abortion did not go as

    Over thirty thousand women are scarred forever with none other than an unwanted baby to remind them of the incident(s). If, perhaps, the baby is born, the mother might not look at that child the same way because the child would just be a constant reminder of the horrific occurrence. As the child grows up, the questions about their father and the truth itself will cause the child to become depressed. No one wants to feel unwanted. Abortions funded by the government are essential to helping these traumatized women.

    Previously, abortions were also surgically performed, in which the cervix was mechanically dilated and her unborn baby was manually removed from her body. This, as a result however, posed a high risk of trauma to the cervix that responds to the body’s hormones—not a doctor’s tools—to remain closed during a pregnancy in order to sustain that pregnancy; and the damage, moreover, can also be suffered by the uterus, which is where the fetus develops before birth. With damage to these organs, any appropriate development for subsequent pregnancies are hindered. Therefore, the woman is put at greater risk for faulty subsequent pregnancies, with possibilities ranging from premature birth or miscarriage to infertility all together. Modern technology, fortunately, has developed ways to manipulate biology so that abortions no longer have to require the mechanical disruption of the cervix or

  • Why Is Late Term Abortion Unethical

    908 Words  | 4 Pages

    This does not make sense, because the fetus does not have feelings or a life until they are outside the uterus. Society still insists that fetuses are superior to the mother, which is false. A bill has been revived that has banned abortion after the twentieth week of pregnancy, and most of Americans support it ("House Republicans"). This bill is still in effect and should be taken into consideration based off of the improvements in women’s rights and abortions. Another point is late-term abortion specifically is wrong because the fetus is more developed at the twentieth week, which is defined as late-term, and can be identified in sex and if there are any complications; therefore personifying the once small fetus.

Abortion is a very controversial topic, for example, one side of this topic believes abortion is cruel and committing murder, while the other side believes that since the fetus or embryo isn 't developed enough to be considered a living human being yet, that abortion is not commiting murder. Despite this information, there is a lot more to abortion than the opinion of it being “right” or “wrong”.
