Abortion Essay

"It's easier for me to kill you than to wave good-bye." Is this the logic and reasoning behind women who have abortions? Abortion has always been a VERY controversial topic that has been the subject of debate many times by the pro-life and pro-choice groups. The pro-life group is adamantly against abortion while the pro-choice group believes that it is the mother's choice whether of not to abort a child. No matter how many times this topic has been argued abortion is and always will remain immoral. The three main types of abortions are gory and horrific; and the abortions, in turn, also cause health risks for the mother and her future pregnancies! Moreover, just the thought of an abortion is astonishingly unethical.

Many people have the illusion that abortion is a short, simple, and clean process; however, they are sadly mistaken. As mentioned above there are three types of abortions, none of which are remotely close to being short, simple, and clean. Abortions from the top, hysterectomy are thought to be the cleanest and safest by many people. The mother's abdomen and uterus are surgically opened and the baby is lifted out. Unfortunately, many of these babies are very much alive when removed; hence the abortionists kill them by cutting the umbilical cord or plunging them into cold water. Abortions from the uterus, such as suction, are much bloodier and longer than those from the abdomen. During the suction method, the abortionist inserts a tube that is 29 times more powerful than a household vacuum cleaner and sucks the baby out. The hose frequently jerks as pieces of the baby become lodged in the tube, and a nurse must reassemble the baby's body together at the end to make sure all the body parts are taken out. The third and final method is salt poisoning. The abortionist injects a strong salt solution directly into the amniotic sac, the fluid surrounding the baby. The baby breathes and swallows the poison, struggles, and sometimes convulses. The corrosive effect of the salt solution often burns and strips away the outer layer of the baby's skin, which exposes the raw, red, glazed-looking subcutaneous layer of tissue. Although these horrifying abortion methods are terrifying enough by themselves, women also face many health risks subsequent to the abortion.

One can not just wash one's hands of the whole ordeal; these post-abortion dangers can haunt the woman in a variety of ways. The mental health of a woman who has had an abortion has the possibility to dramatically suffer afterwards. However, the woman who does not have an abortion is usually happier and less depressed than the other woman. In addition to mental suffering, women are also vulnerable to many other hazards. During the first three months of a subsequent pregnancy, there is twice the chance of a miscarriage. During the second trimester, there is ten times
