Persuasive Essay Abortion
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy resulting in the death of an unborn human foetus. The topic of abortion is often brought up in politics to this day, which makes it one of the most controversial topics across the world. The topic splits the world into two different groups; those for and those opposed. There are many types of ways to go by the procedure which are all sugar coated to sound clean and short processes, when in fact most are horrific and inhuman.
In the world people are brain washed by media and health staff that abortion is a very clean, short and beneficial, however most of the public are horrible wrong, because the procedures are gory once you research them thoroughly . The most common way of having the procedure is ‘Suction Aspiration’ this is where the women are given a general local anaesthesia, and then the nurse inserts a hollow tube with a knife edged tip into a woman’s womb, it acts like a vacuum although it is 29 times more powerful than your usual household one. It tears the foetus and placenta into small pieces and then sucks it through a tube into a bottle and then it is discarded. This particular procedure can only take place in the first 12 weeks of the pregnancy. At 12 weeks a foetus’s arteries are all present even coronary vessels of the hearts, this is when the blood can start circulating to the whole body which means it is fully alive although the foetus may not look like a full grown baby, it’s vocal chords are complete and the foetus can even cry although it is silent, their brain is fully formed and they can feel any pain. Which means they would be able to feel the suction aspiration happening, although you may not be able to hear the pain from their cry they are still completely aware. It disgusts me to think that people believe there is nothing wrong with abortion but I believe that these people are not truly aware of actually what it consists of.
Each type of abortion gets worse and worse as the pregnancy goes on, the longer the pregnancy the harder it is to terminate. At sixteen weeks (four months), you then have to poison the foetus this is called ‘Salt Poisoning’ or a ‘Saline Injection’ this is where the nurse has to inject a long needle into the woman’s abdomen into the baby’s sac, the baby is then left to swallow the solution; it acts as a poison. Also the saline injection acts as a corrosive and burns away the top layer of the baby’s delicate, soft skin. You then leave the baby to die for 24 hours which would be the most painful and unbearable experience for the baby, the mother has to then give birth to the baby who could either be dead or still dying, if they are born alive they are left unattended and left to die in their own time. Just imagine you were left in a room with poison that burned away your skin and poisoned you from the outside in, and there was nothing you could do.
At eighteen weeks the foetus is 5 inches long, the baby’s hair begins to grow on their head and body they can also blink, gasp and move their mouth. At this time the baby is fully aware of voices and would be able to recognise their own mothers and if born at this stage would be able to survive, their sex organs are visible and this is the stage where a mother and father would be able to be told the gender of their unborn baby. The method used for termination at this time in the pregnancy is ‘Dilation and Evacuation (D&E)’ the most brutal and horrific termination to hear about or too even imagine happening. As a pair of forceps is entered into the mother’s womb to grasp part of the baby, the forceps have sharp teeth which twist and tear bones of the unborn child the process is continued and repeated until the foetus is totally unrecognisable; it is then removed. In this process usually the spine must be completely snapped and the baby’s skull crushed. Remember the baby is totally aware of pain at this stage, and would be able to feel every tear and break in their body as they are torn apart. This particular procedure sends shivers down my spine just hearing about it, I don’t understand how anyone could go through such a gory horror film like termination.
In 2009 it was proven from statistics that 46 million abortions took place that is 46 million babies that have suffered the gory, horrific procedures I have listed above. Approximately that is one baby being aborted every two seconds. Further statistics I have found out about from 2009 is that over half the percentage of abortions were from woman between the ages of 15-44, and the main reasons for those abortions with an astonishing majority of 98% was because of their own personal choice reasons being the babies being unwanted or were seen as an inconvenience with the other options being – health problems with the baby or rape/incest.
Abortion should be restricted in my opinion due to the inhuman and the murder like way that abortions are preceded. Many who say that abortion and murder have no comparison, I believe these people need to open their eyes and think to their self what they classify as murder because in my opinion murder is an act of unwanted death done by someone else... Do these babies ask to be born or asked to die? Woman going in for abortions should not be told all the good sides to abortion, but should be told the risks, consequences and potential health risks they may face in the future as they way out more than the benefits. People like to believe that woman suffer from regret having their unwanted baby when really the real statistics show that it is the opposite and more woman suffer from psychological pain after their abortions as they have to deal with it every day. A questionnaire was done in 2000 to come up with the real problems and symptoms woman get after their terminations, and it was proven that 61.1% of woman feel regret after their terminations and 52% suffered from depression.
Overall abortion no matter what side you are on, abortion is murder. When weighed up the pros and cons abortion is non beneficial, and woman are just brain washed to believe it is. In my opinion abortion is looked at too lightly which leads new generations to believe it is acceptable, the fact that it is so widely accessible does not help at all. I believe woman should think about other options instead of abortion like adoption, because there really is no such thing as an unwanted child.
