Late Term Abortion Persuasive Speech

First and foremost, not all the laws of late-term abortion mimic one another throughout each state. Late-term is considered anything after 140 days. In Indiana, the late-term abortion is anything after twenty-four weeks (“Women’s Med”). Late-term abortion is a two to three day process because the baby is so developed. Day one of a late-term abortion procedure is when the surgeon injects digoxin into the mom's abdomen and straight into the baby's head, heart or torso to cause the baby to go into a fatal cardiac arrest. When the digoxin is injected, the baby's life should end. The surgeon then inserts laminaria sticks into the woman's vaginal area to open up the cervix to deliver the baby. It will take two-three days for the cervix to open up.
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
Before the twenty weeks, the baby’s developments are still minimum. However, after that amount of weeks, the baby is starting to develop main body parts. The aftermath of late-term abortions can lead to high risks of hemorrhage, lacerations, uterine perforations, maternal death, and future pregnancy complications (Dr.Anthony Levatino). All in which are obviously not quite the symptoms that we desire to battle throughout the remaining years in what should be our beloved life. The only exception to late-term abortion should be if the mother’s life is at
