Koonce 1 Abortion
Lives are taken away from helpless children every day
.
Some do not even get the chance to take their first breath
.
This should not happen
.
Life is an amazing gift, so why take it away from a helpless child? Despite all the emotional damage a mother could have, what about a failed aborted child? How would he/she feel, if known they were an attempted abortion? Abortion is murder and should be considered illegal
.
The most common type of abortion is Suction Aspiration Abortion, and also called Menstrual Abortion
.
This abortion is used for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy . The mother is given general or local anesthetic
.
Then the cervical muscle is stretched open and a hollow plastic tube is placed inside
.
A suction machine is turned on and sucks out everything in the womb
.
The bones of the helpless, unborn child have not developed or hardened
.
The placenta is scraped from the walls of the womb and placed inside a jar with the contents of the baby.
This act of violence is murder
.
According to the article “Abortion” on the website Our Bodies Our Selves, the percentage for aspiration abortion is about

Koonce 2 72%
.
Another form of abortion is Dilation and Curettage Abortion
.
This abortion is performed in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy just like the Suction
Aspiration Abortion. The baby and the placenta are scraped out of the womb with a loop shaped knife and placed inside a basin. The same concept as the other, but used with a different instrument. It does not matter how the abortion is performed, this is all considered the same thing, murder.
RU486 and Methotrexate is used five to nine weeks of pregnancy. It is a pill taken orally by the mother of the unborn baby. They are 90 to 95% effective in the abortion process. The way this harmful drug works is the nutrients are getting cut off from the helpless baby. This process will cause starvation

    If the baby does not come out whole, then comes the D and E (dilation and evacuation). They then use clamps and forceps to remove the baby piece by piece. Once all the body parts are removed, the abortion is finally complete. Basically what just happened is that a baby was injected in the womb to have a heart attack and then gets delivered two-three days later and if he/she does not come out whole, they break them out piece by piece. (Dr.Anthony Levatino). In early abortions there is medicine and pills to terminate the pregnancy (“Abortion Procedures”). In medical abortions, there are two pills called mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone is the pill women would take first to cause the embryo to detach from the uterine wall. Then, two days later the women will take the misoprostol pill. This pill contracts the uterus to expel the embryo (Lauren Panariello). Morally, the medicine is a more proper way to abort the baby than the late-term way. A women can take the medicine as soon as she is aware she is pregnant. In this case, the women would not wait to have a late-term abortion, she would just take the pill as early as she…

    One way to kill an unborn child is to give the mother a specific pill, so the fetus now will no longer receive food, fluids, or oxygen. Henceforth, the child will die. A second way to kill an unborn child is by using a suction tube. The tube is used to pull the fetus’s body out in pieces. Three, through the dilation and evacuation process, the abortionist takes two limbs and twists and pulls the pieces from the body. This takes place until the head is left, in which the abortionist crushes.…

    In the United States, abortion is used most often to end an unplanned pregnancy. Unplanned pregnancies happen when birth control is not used, is used incorrectly, or fails to prevent a pregnancy. Abortion is also used to end a pregnancy when tests reveal that the fetus is abnormal. Therapeutic abortion refers to an abortion recommended when the mother's health is at risk. Roughly one-half of all abortions are done during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy and about 88% during the first 12 weeks of…

    Abortion Paper

    Abortion is a procedure performed to end a pregnancy before birth occurs. I will succinctly analyze whether the act of abortion is morally right or wrong. Since the philosophy of ethics is very social and states that we are all moral autonomous agents and are part of a moral community, we are defined as 'persons,' i.e. ethical individuals that legislate to reason right from wrong and thereby have a responsibility to do so. However, there is a fine line between being a 'person' and being a 'human being' -- they are closely related, but are not quite the same. The issue of 'personhood' is key and essential to any conclusion on the morality of abortion. There are three articles in which each author explains their own view on 'personhood' and abortion that will help me come to my own personal standpoint on this issue. The first article is named 'The Abortion Issue' by Mary Anne Warren, the next article is 'Why Abortion is Immoral' by Don Marquis, and lastly, 'Abortion and the Concept of a Person' by Jane English. Mary Anne Warren's basis for her argument is namely that abortion is justified, as she argues that a fetus is not a 'person.' Dan Marquis feels that abortion is seriously morally wrong even if the fetus is not considered a person because it is an act of killing a being with a right to life with a future. Jane English believes that it is impossible to define the fetus status as a 'person', and feels that abortion is morally accepted in the early stages of pregnancy but not in the later stages. I fully agree with Mary Anne Warren's claim that abortion is morally acceptable and that the fetus is not justified to be a 'person', therefore you are not killing a 'person', but the woman has a right to do what she wants with her body because she is a moral agent or 'person.'…
