AGAINST ABORTION

By: Yaritzel Linetee Aviles Candelaria

INTRODUCTION

In the past two hundred years, over one million Americans have died for their country.

Abortion is one of the most controversial and important subjects of this generation.

I surveyed 22 people and from all of them only 7 were against abortion, 12 were for abortion, and 3 were undecided.

1. WHEN DOES THE UNBORN BABY’S HEART BEGIN TO BEAT?  

The heart beats begins between the 18th and 25th day.

At 3.5 weeks the fetus:will have formed the heartbegins development of the brain and spinal cordstarts forming the gastrointestinal tract.

2. WHEN DOES THE BRAIN BEGIN TO FUNCTION?  

40 days.

3. HOW EARLY CAN A BABY SURVIVE OUTSIDE THE MOTHER’S WOMB?  

Currently 20 weeks is considered the accepted minimum. However, this time will be reduced as medical technology continues to improve.

TYPES OF ABORTION PROCEDURES

Manual Vacuum Aspiration: a syringe is used to suction out tissue which causes abortion.

Electric Vacuum Aspiration: an electric pump is used to suction the tissue out.

Dilation and Evacuation: it uses a spoon-shaped knife, or curette, to ensure that all the placental tissues are removed by scraping the uterine walls.

Hysterectomy Abortion: it is a cesarean section to terminate a pregnancy.

Prostaglandin: A hormone is injected into the mother’s uterine muscle and produces violent contractions. The baby is either crushed to death by the contractions or delivered barely alive and left to die.

Intracardiac Injection: pinpoints the location of the baby’s heart using ultrasound. A long needle, filled with fluid, is then injected into the heart causing an immediate heart attack.

SUMMARIZE

Abortion is one of the most debatable and controversial issues that exist today in our society.

No matter, how we persuade ourselves, every woman that decides to put an end to her pregnancy understands that it is wrong.

When abortion is done, it is in fact the end of life of a human being that already can feel and think.
