Abortion Should Not Be Legalized

Abortion is the worst thing a woman can do against human dignity. It is a crime
against life. No woman has the right to kill a new living being. Many countries
ban abortion and many institutions fight against it. Abortion is immoral and it
should not be legalized.

Abortion is also a threat to the mother's health. A woman can suffer an
infection or internal bleeding. She could also become sterilized, the permanent
inhability to bear a child. Abortion not only kills the baby but may kill the
mother too. During an abortion, despite the use of local anesthesia, 97% of the
women report severe pain, and if a more powerful drug is used she could suffer
dangerous side effects. Many complications are common after an abortion, like
inflammation of the reproductive organs. As well, there is strong evidence that
abortion increases the risk of breast cancer. Women that abort increase their
chances of getting breast cancer by 50%, and teenagers with no previous

common methods used is Suction Aspiration. The doctor uses a special tool to
suck the baby into a collection bottle. Great care must be taken to prevent the
uterus from being damaged, which would cause hemorrhage. A woman with hemorrhage
will need a blood transfusion that could cause her AIDS. Also infection may
easily occur if fetal tissue is left behind in the uterus. Another method used
for babies as old as twenty four weeks, is the Dilation and Evacuation. Sharp
jaws are used to grasp different parts of the unborn baby which are then torn
away. The skull of the baby must be crushed to facilitate the procedure. Another
technique used by a lot of pregnant women is the RU486. The RU486 are pills used
to abort the undesired child. These pills have very dangerous side effects. They
