Abortion Facts Abortion Facts, Not Fiction
from:When it comes to abortion facts, it is often very difficult to determine what information is true and what is false. Real abortion facts begin with the medical community. In medical terminology, abortion is serrated into different categories: Spontaneous Abortion and Induced Abortion. Spontaneous Abortion, or miscarriage, as it is commonly called, is the natural expulsion of the embryo or fetus from the uterus by the mother’s body. This can happen because of genetic or physical abnormalities. Induced abortion is further separated into the sub-categories Therapeutic Abortion and Elective Abortion. Therapeutic Abortion is exactly what it sounds like: the extraction of an embryo or fetus for medical reasons to prevent harm from coming to the mother, or in cases of diagnosed deformities or problems with the unborn child. Elective Abortion is what is commonly debated. It is the choice of the expectant mother for any number of personal reasons.
There are numerous methods of abortion, including surgical, chemical and even herbal abortions. Abortion facts dictate that the most common in modern times are the surgical and chemical abortions, although until the 20th century, herbal abortions were the prominent, and sometimes the only, option for a woman who wished to have an abortion. Surgical methods are both diverse and complicated and they are often under much political and legal scrutiny. Manual Vacuum Aspiration, Electric Vacuum Aspiration, and Dilation and Curettage are early-term abortion options. Later-term options include Dilation and Evacuation, Hysterectomy Abortion, and Intact Dilation and Extraction, which is also known as Partial Birth Abortion and has been subject to legal precedents, especially the partial Birth Abortion Ban, which was signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2003.
When discussing abortion facts, you must also think about chemical abortions. Chemical abortion is performed by combining drugs to end a pregnancy. Methotrexate or Mifepristone is followed by one of two types of prostaglandin, either misoprostol or gemeprost, to terminate the pregnancy.
From the legal standpoint, abortion facts are plentiful. The Christian church used to decide whether or not an abortion could be done by whether or not the movement of the fetus had occurred. By the 18th and 19th centuries, social reformers and clergymen wanted to place a complete ban on abortion. IN the 20th century, most Western countries had legalized abortion, most notably the controversial 1973 court case Roe vs. Wade, decided by the US Supreme Court, legalized early-term abortions. The passing of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban in 2003 was prefaced by the law being passed by Congress two other times, but being vetoed by President Bill Clinton.
