People view abortion as the sole solution to unwanted pregnancies. However, is it really the only way out? In many countries, abortion is considered a sin, even today. Most people consider abortion as being against religious morals.
What people forget here is the fact that the fetus isn’t born until around 8 weeks after pregnancy. More, abortion can sometimes be necessary as it may cause serious health complications to the mother due to infections.
What do women think?
Women believe there are many reasons to undergo abortion. For instance, it is thought that poverty, rape, or fear of having and raising a child all alone are all legitimate reasons for abortion.
However, some women strongly believe that they should not undergo this process as it is against human values, religious values and values of conscience.
Who is right then?
This is a tricky question. Every day, around a hundred and fifteen thousand abortions take place. Statistics reveal another interesting fact. Seventeen percent of women who have had abortions face severe complications in their subsequent pregnancies. Some of those who undergo abortions may not be able to give birth at all. They also face a greater risk of developing breast cancer after abortion. Abortions leave women feeling uncertain about their future and lost in more ways than one. Almost one-third of women who undergo abortion are dissatisfied with their decision later on. However, the worst affect of abortion is the emotional one. Women who have had an abortion tend to have frequent mood disorders. In addition to this, women who undergo abortion are five times more likely to have problems with alcohol and drug abuse.
What should a woman take care of after abortion?
It is normal for a woman to experience a range of emotions after the abortions, such as sadness, happiness, relief and a feeling of loss. Some even feel they have made the right decision. On the other hand, abortion can raise negative emotional responses as well, including guilt, grief, shame, regret and anger.
Women have abortions because they care about themselves and their future families. Every woman’s situation is different, and only she can decide what is best for her.
Moreover, abortions are illegal after the first trimester. This means that a woman can only have abortion until she is in her first 8 weeks of pregnancy. This ensures that abortion isn’t misused greatly and the fetus is destroyed off before it fully develops.
