Our world today is full of unsolved, devisive and controversial issues. Most
of them relate to our morals, ethics and religion, thus creating a very strong ‘yes’
and ‘no’, or ‘good’ and ‘bad’ side. Like the Chinese Yin and Yang sign, abortion
has a very prominent ‘black’ and ‘white’ side but also contains traces of each in the
alternating colour. This shows that if you were to come to any kind of conclusion
on abortion, there would still be a downside to it, and that is primarily why the
abortion. Being pregnant and wishing you weren’t is probably the worst feeling a
woman can have. Knowing that if you brought a child into the world and you
didn’t want it, or you would have to give it up for adoption is such a disheartening
way to start off, and you and the un-born child would be so much better off if
you were to terminate the pregnancy and wait for a more appropriate time, or in
the case of rape, put the past behind you and move on.
didn’t use contraception. We forget to stop and think about the other possible
reasons she may have accidentally become pregnant. Just forgetting to take one
pill per packet can reduce it’s effectiveness and also taking anti-biotics, or being ill
can also undermine the way the pill works. Condoms can tear or be forgotten,
and emergency contraceptives like the ‘morning after’ pill are underprescribed and
not readily available. Would it surprise you that over 50% of women getting an
abortion in Britain used some form of contraception when they got pregnant?
This obviously shows that women are having huge problems with using
educating women more on the pill and the way it works, the after effects of
abortion, and the risks of having an abortion. We don’t want abortion to become
the easy way out though. People just need to know more about it and have to
satisfy specific criteria before having the pregnancy terminated, for instance by
interviews with doctor’s, given unbiased advice, and consultations with peop...
life or health of the woman. This has made abortion available to all who need it,
and women can go to Family Planning Centres all over Australia and receive the
advice and support that they need. So far about 20,000 Victorian women have
an abortion in a year, but that doesn’t compare to the statistics in Britain where 1
in every 4 women will have an abortion at some stage. Lets just keep abortion as
the very last option and not travel down the path in which Britain and the USA are
heading. We don’t want babies getting thrown out in bins like vegetable waste
now do we??
