the hidden risks of abortion(final) by carol you

Abortion has always been a debatable issue in society nowadays as to whether it is a moral solution for unwanted pregnancy. Many people think it is ok to abort the child when the pregnancy comes unexpectedly, or simply for other reasons such as not being mature enough to have children, failing to support or care a child financially, or having a child may compromise their future lives etc. But regardless of these reasons, personally I consider abortion as very cruel and immoral no matter how good and reasonable the excuses might be.

Abortion is killing. What right do humans have to terminate an innocent life possibly resulting from their own stupidity in knowing little about contraception? Isn’t contradictious that society will not tolerate it if people go on street and stab each other to death and sadly they agree to restrain a child’s life forming in mothers’ wombs? Isn’t the same form of killing? If society supports legal punishments for street killing then I think they’d better adapt the same attitude for abortion. When women are pregnant, they have a living human inside; to kill a living human is murder. There is no other way of looking at it. How can anyone logically say, "you are not killing a human, just because that baby is not breathing in air yet?

Abortion is selfish. Clearly it has done a lot of damages to the unborn; they would never have the chance to live a life. Why would the innocent being punished for their parents’ mistakes? The loss is unimaginable; not only the loss of a life, but the life of a blameless soul that otherwise could have been filled with hopes, dreams, laughter, joy and love. A baby lost for nothing. There are thousands upon thousands of family's that would be more than happy to take those unfortunate babies in and give them the chance they deserve. The chance that God had gave the child. Why do these mothers think they can make a decision for these babies, just because they do not want to go through the process of pregnancy? Even if the mother doesn't have enough money to take care of the baby, there are many different government aids that will help these mothers along. For the worst reasons, if they really can’t afford a child at the time, they should really look into how to have a safe and responsible sex to prevent the unwanted result, and if something happens, like pregnancy, they should not then commit murder or "abortion" for further happiness, that is just evil.

Abortion is immoral. God puts a soul in embryos at conception, and a few weeks old fetus can be murdered like ordinary people. It's morally wrong or ambiguous because women are preventing the baby from becoming a conscious, unique person.Abortion plays havoc with the psychology and the future life of the entire family. The woman who has lost her child would possibly never be the same again. While the woman may be the hardest hit by an abortion, one also has to think about the mental and emotional state of the entire family. While physically only the woman undergoes an abortion, mentally and emotionally it is the entire family who loses a part of their mind and body forever. And the emotional devastation is unimaginable.

Many women suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder related to abortions they have done. 20-40 even show a higher level of stress and avoidance in normal daily activities. In post-abortion trauma cases, many women have developed inabilities to recall the abortion experience or important parts of it; efforts to avoid activities or situations which may arouse recollections of the abortion; withdrawal from relationships, especially estrangement from those involved in the abortion decision; avoidance of children; efforts to avoid or deny thoughts or feelings about the abortion; restricted range of loving or tender feelings; a sense of a foreshortened future and suicidal attempts. Abortion is also significantly linked with increased abuse of alcohol, drug and in many cases, women have also developed with eating disorder. Furthermore, women who have one abortion are at increased risk of having additional abortions in the future.

Abortion affects women physically. Women who have abortion experiences more easily to develop breasts cancer, cervical cancer, placenta previa, complication in labour, having handicapped newborns in later life, ectopic pregnancy and other serious gynecological diseases.In conclusion, abortion is a very immoral, cruel and selfish action to take, the effects after is extremely destructive from both psychological and physical areas.
