ABORTION

Abortion should be banned for moral and medical reasons

Abstract

Abortion, legal or illegal too physically and psychologically damaging to women and can even cause death. The pro-abortion propaganda continually proclaims the lie that legal abortion is modestly "safe", and that legalizing or decriminalizing it is necessary due to the large number of maternal deaths caused by illegal abortion. This strategy to legalize abortion misleadingly called "Safe Motherhood." Among the physical complications of abortion on women are infection, bleeding, complications due to anesthesia, pulmonary embolism or amniotic fluid and perforations, lacerations or tears of the uterus. Statistically, speaking, it is estimated that the immediate risk of such complications is 10%, but the long-term complications is between 20 and 50%. In addition to physical complications, women suffering emotionally and spiritually from what has already been identified as the "post-abortion syndrome”. These effects of abortion include feelings of guilt, anguish, anxiety, and depression, low self-esteem, insomnia, various types of neurosis and psychotic illness, suicidal tendencies, nightmares displayed the remains of the aborted baby, painful memories at the time he was born, and so on.

Abortion rights supporters believe that the decision to terminate a pregnancy should be the woman's alone (in consultation with medical professionals); supporters of the right to life publicly denounce abortion as murder (James, 1999).
