Clinical Aspect of abortion
Clinical Aspect of abortion
1) Adoption ensures (or dramatically improves the chance that) that babies and children are wanted.
2) You have seriously underestimated the charm of a baby - his ability to worm his way into the hearts of his parents.
3) All are wanted by someone... God, for instance.
:squint: Excuse me??? What does that even mean? Are you suggesting that all babies who are not planned wind up being unwanted for all their lives? That's asinine. And this:
will need support from a cited study - one that eliminates the influence of poverty (since poverty is the number one marker for troubled childhood). So pony-up, derwood.
as I thought - your source didn't separate the two things (lack of planning and poverty) which makes it a poor study yielding absolutely no trustworthy information.
What's wrong with community support? What's wrong with soup kitchens and homeless shelters and for that matter, what's wrong with adoption?
But killing the baby is better? Is that your position? Why not kill all the poor then if they have such horrible lives? Put them out of their misery.
This is emotion-baiting if I've ever seen it. :nono: Miscarriage has nothing to do with killing the unborn.
What I am about to say may be disturbing to some. For that I apologize. When a miscarriage or abortion occurs, whether spontaneous or deliberate. a dilatation and curettage must be performed to be sure that the "Product of conception", that is, the as yet unborn person, is completely removed from the uterus.
In the case of a woman who loses an unborn baby through no fault of her own this is a grievous situation. The "D&C" is performed to return her womb to normal so that she may try again to get pregnant in the fulness of time.
There is always a very small possibility of perforation of the uterus and/or damage to the uterus during this procedure. Many women are rendered sterile after an abortion is performed.
I believe that most women, in their heart of hearts, know that life is sacred.
Having felt the flutter of the beginnings of new life within my own body I know the intense bonding which happens automatically between mother and her own as yet to be born baby.
I have four grown daughters. They knew that regardless of circumstance, ALL BABIES ARE WELCOME IN THIS FAMILY".
However, when I was pregnant indeed I did refer to, and in fact think of, my babies as 'babies'. I was slightly surprised to see the term 'foetus' used on the medical notes, too, particularly when the term is used to report on the condition of the child immediately after delivery. So, whilst I am content to think of babies as 'babies', when thinking in terms of those women who have chosen a termination, I think it is much more appropriate to use the medical term. It doesn't really help the woman to bandy around phrases such as 'murder' and 'slaughter'. But I fully support someone's right to campaign respectfully for whatever they believe is ethically right regarding this very difficult and complex issue. I personally believe that abortion should remain legal, but that the limit should be reduced, and I fully respect the right to opinion and respectful free speech of those who are anti-abortion.
