Abortion

Good morning/afternoon ladies and gentleman. Today I am here to convince you without a doubt that abortion should be brought to an end. Points that I will be covering are the medical risks involved, economic support for the child, couples that do not have a chance to have a child andÐ'ÐŽK.

The scientific definition of abortion is the termination of pregnancy of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival. There are over 131,000 abortions in Australia every year.

Firstly: medical risks involved.

Some short term or physical side effects such as:

Ð'„X Infection

Ð'„X Bleeding

Ð'„X Perforation of the uterus

Ð'„X Anaesthetic complications

Ð'„X Deaths

And as for that there are also long term side effects such as:

Ð'„X Cervical incompetence, in which the neck of the womb loses its capacity to hold the developing foetus in place, and he or she falls out of the uterus because of their weight and the force of gravity

Ð'„X Abortion is thus associated with higher rates of miscarriage in subsequent pregnancies, usually in the second twelve weeks

Ð'„X Infection acquired at the time of the operation can cause pelvic infection, decreased patency of the fallopian tubes and sterility.

Ð'„X Adhesion can cause recurring abdominal pain and sterility.

Ð'„X It is now known that women having abortions and considerably more likely to suffer from breast cancer later in their life.

My second point is the economic support for the child:

Why do people that donÐ'ÐŽÐ'¦t want kids have to have an abortion? There are always other factors that you can come to such as adoption. In third world countries, the people have a right to have children but do they have the opportunity? If they did have a child, how would they support it through the poverty? They donÐ'ÐŽÐ'¦t even have enough food and water to support themselves at the moment. This clearly
