ABORTION
Nowadays, Abortion is a very big issue about women who terminate their pregnancy
even though it is illegal. Many people are aborting their child due to many factors such as
financial problems, rape victims, unwanted child, etc. Aborting a child has two types:
Spontaneous abortion or miscarriage it is when a baby has already died in the womb of the
mother it can be intentional or unintentional depending on how the mother took care of the child.
Induced abortion is a deliberate termination of pregnancy by taking it from the mothers
womb.Abortion is a subject that many people have strong views on. Anti-abortionists believe a
person is alive from the moment a human egg is fertilised and any attempt to end that life before
or after birth is considered as murder. And according to one anti-abortionist, "There is no
difference in killing a four-year-old child and aborting a pre-born child. Therefore, Abortion is
considered as a sin and against the law for many.
There are many evidences that abortion should be illegalized by the government because
of its negative effects to women and women should use contraceptives than to abort a foetus.
Primarily, The government should prohibited the abortion because as what the dictionary defines
abortion is an act of terminating pregnancy followed by the death of the fetus and spontaneous
expulsion of a human fetus during the pregnancy stage. There are at least twenty percent of all
American women who performed abortion because the institutions and the doctors are not
forbidding this type of action. Since that time more than 50 million unborn babies have been
killed
by abortion. This is far more than the entire population of California. According to the
Gut matcher Institute, one out of every three women of childbearing age has had one or more
abortions. Furthermore abortion has become the most frequently performed surgical procedure in
America. In some countries like Philippines abortion is generally illegal. Under the abortion
provisions of the Penal Code, a person who intentionally causes an abortion with the consent of
the pregnant woman is subject to a penalty of prison correccional were in the person shall be
from six months to six years in prison. While in china abortion is legal and is a government
service available on request for women except in cases of sex-selective abortion. In addition to
virtually universal access to contraception, abortion is a way for China to contain its population
in accordance with its one-child policy. However in 2008, there were an estimated 13 million
abortions performed, and approximately 10 million abortion pills sold. Induced abortions are
more common in urban areas, where couples may only have one child. Thats why abortion in
china is very high because of its policy. And in some places in china aborted fetuses were sold
for food, Chinese people are eating fetuses because of the nutrients in the fetus body but this
rumor was not yet confirmed.
Secondarily, the women should know what would be the positive and negative outcomes
of doing the abortion. When the women would be having her first abortion there are major
compliments which can occur at the time of an abortion such as infection, excessive bleeding,
embolism, ripping of the uterus, hemorrhage, and many more. Especially for the young ages with
the age of 16 and over the age of 35 should not have an abortion because at those ages, it might
prevent them from ever having more children. And at those ages it is very risky to have some
abortion. For some there are positive indications why aborting was done such as fewer mouths to
feed, to empower women but they do not know when performing this action there are risk factors
like maternal death and future pregnancy complications. Abortion was supposed to empower
women, free them from the rigours of childbearing and the drudgery of housework, and enable
them to achieve an equal place with men in the work force. Several decades passed by many
women are wondering when this freedom, empowerment and equality is going to have a positive
impact on their lives. Women appear to be the losers when it comes to abortion. But the facts
remains, abortion has not solved anything. There are no positive effects of abortion on society.
Nothing good comes from murdering children.
Lastly, women proceeds to have abortion for some reasons such as they are not yet ready
to be a mother at the early age, some are raped victims that who got pregnant and doesnt want to
take care of the child whose father forced to have sexual intercourse with them, and women also
do abortion if the fetuses diagnosed with birth defects, and doesnt want to raise a child with
birth defects, and for many girls and women, this was the final death of romance for them when
being pregnant. Women who chose not to have an abortion often found themselves abandoned by
the man and faced the hard life of a single parent. According to the Republic Act No. 10354 the
better to bear a child and let other people took care for them than to kill them. Because there are
thousands of families who is trying to have a child but unfortunately was not given.
