Abortion is the termination of pregnancy during the first trimester. For whatever reasons many unborn humans are being mutilated at a staggering rate of 1.37 million a year in the U.S. according to abortionno.org.The termination of pregnancy is a difficult decision to come to. Abortion is viewed as inhumane to many.This issue needs to be examined more closely because of how the abortion is carried out. Fetus’ are sliced and diced, then eventually sucked or pull out piece by piece from the womb. I understand this idea is farfetched,but a different way of aborting should be practiced; a way that does not seem to mutilate these children.
Throughout this paper I will discuss the seven different types of abortion and why these issues should be addressed. Before an abortion takes place it is important for the physician to know how far into the pregnancy the patient is. Because of course the age of the fetus determines how it will be extracted. First is the “Suction Aspiration method” (Lifenews.com).This is the most frequent procedure of abortion in the first 12 weeks of abortion. The Suction Aspiration is a tube with razor tip, hooked up to
a vacuum that is more than 20 times powerful than a regular vacuum found in a house. The tube sucks the placenta and fetus out piece by piece until there is no more. A second method used during the first 12 weeks is the similar Dilation and Curette rage. This procedure is achieved by inserting a hook shaped knife into the womb and cutting the fetus into pieces. The fetus is the scraped and vacuumed out.
During the eighteenth week of pregnancy the fetus has now developed into a child. The child can blink and move their mouth, at this point hair starts growing on the child as well. The third manner of abortion is Dilation and Evacuation. “A pair of forceps is inserted into the womb to grasp part of the fetus. The teeth of the forceps twist and tear the bones of the unborn child. This process is repeated until the fetus is totally dismembered and removed. Usually the spine must be snapped and the skull crushed in order to remove them “(lifenews). After the sixteenth week the fourth technique of abortion is administered, salt poisoning. This is done by having a needle inserted through the stomach of the mother and theninjects a strong salt solution that goes into the child’s sac. The baby swallows this fluid and is poisoned by it. It also acts as a corrosive, burning off the outer layer of skin. Generally this takes a little over an hour for the child to expire. “Within 24 hours, labor will usually set in and the mother will give birth to a dead or dying baby. There have been many cases of these babies being born alive. They are usually left unattended to die. However, a few have survived and later been adopted” (lifenews). This is just sickening, how could anyone try to execute a child, and if it the baby lives, leave it to die. It’s sad the last resort to abortion is giving the child up to adoption.
The fifth means of abortion is Prostaglandin Chemical abortion. The Prostaglandin Chemical is injected into the mother and makes her uterus contract more violently than usual contractions during delivery. With the baby still in the womb the contractions kill the baby.“Some have even been decapitated. However many have also been born alive” lifenews). The sixth method is Hysterotomy (Caesarean Section procedure). This is used during the last three months of pregnancy. The mother’s abdomen is
surgically cut, so practitioners can get to the womb and sever the umbilical cord to cut oxygen to the child. “Sometimes the baby is removed alive and simply left in a corner to die of neglect or exposure” (lifenews).
The seventh and final procedure of abortion is the Partial-Birth method. To complete this task the doctor locates
the baby’s legs through an ultrasound. He/she then grabs the child’s legs with forceps and pry’s the child out. The practitioner pulls the baby out except for its head. The child’s head is then stabbed inside of the mother with scissors and forced open so a suction tube can extract the brains. After that is complete the child is then removed completely. The seventh method is horrendous and should be consider as murder. If we went around stabbing people in the head with scissors we would
incarcerated.
If abortions are legal they should be brought in front of a jury of some sort and see if the reason for abortion is legitimate. Abortions should be administered only because a pregnancy is the result of a heinous acts such as rape, not because
contraceptives were absent during intercourse. Victims of rape that are impregnated by their rapist, I feel, should be seen as the only respectful reason for an abortion. Irresponsible sexual activity causing pregnancies that end in abortion is not just unethical but also irresponsible to me. People having unplanned pregnancies should not be allowed to have the option of aborting children because they made a mistake.
As an Iraq War veteran I seen some gruesome stuff, but just doing research on this matter absolutely appalls me. Dicing a baby like it is a tomato is flat out inhumane. Couples seeking abortion because it is convenient need to be prosecuted. I believe that couples that seek abortion are not educated on how the abortion is handled. If people knew what really happens they may take option A, having a child and raising it or B, putting it up for adoption.I understand women that have been raped and impregnated may contradict my beliefs but those victims literally did not plan a pregnancy and they should be allowed to have the option of abortion. Another way to terminate the child needs to be established. If a prisoner on death row has to be executed peacefully why can’t a child that is being aborted.
