Pro Legal Abortion

First of all I would like to start off saying that you did not give me a second argument, you just responded to my argument with a counterclaim so there is really nothing new for me to argue against here. Second. I would like to pose a question for you. Are the procedures and precautions taken when aborting a child always the safest for the fetus and the mother when bringing the thought of late-term abortions into consideration? In case you were not aware, there are nine different types of abortion. Each one of these different types is depended upon which trimester the woman is in. In the first trimester the woman has a choice between medical and surgical abortions. Medical abortions are those which can only be put in affect during the first nine weeks of gestation (The period of development in the uterus from conception until birth) (1). These types of abortion include Methotrexate & Misoprostol, Mifepristone and Misoprostol, Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA), and Aspiration. During the Second Trimester medicinal procedures will no longer work. Instead, abortion methods such as Dilation & Curettage (D&C), Dilation & Evacuation (D & E), and Induction Abortion are used. D&C and D&E are fairly similar routines used for aborting unwanted fetus, but Induction abortion is very different. During Induction abortion salt water, urea, or potassium chloride is injected into the amniotic sac; prostaglandins are inserted into the vagina and pitocin is injected intravenously (2). Finally in the third and final trimester, there are only two types of abortion which can be performed. Note that not every state allows third trimester abortion and is illegal in many places. Since abortion is such a controversial topic, states have taken action to put laws and regulations on abortion. 41 states prohibit some abortions after a certain point in pregnancy. 21 states impose prohibitions at fetal viability. 4 states impose prohibitions in the third trimester. 16 states impose prohibitions after a certain number of weeks, generally 24 weeks or during the third trimester; 8 of these states ban abortion at 20 weeks post-fertilization or its equivalent of 22 weeks after the woman"s last menstrual period on the grounds that the fetus can feel pain at that point in gestation (3). Third trimester abortion is frowned upon by many states because by this point the fetus has developed more and can feel. Saying that abortion at this point in a childs development is perfectly acceptable is disgusting. Many medical offices will not perform abortions on fetuses which are viable, or able to live on their own. This stage of life is typically 24 weeks into pregnancy, just between the end of the second trimester and the beginning of the first trimester. Although typically this thought process is used for deciding whether to abort a child or not, its not law. This means that technically, if the child is not born, medical practices could abort fetuses at whatever point in their development they wanted as long as the child was not outside of the womb. Viability is an area of assumption regarding abortion because the 'what if' question will always come into effect. This allows a loop hole for abortions to occur and damage a fetus which, in some cases, posses the ability to survive on its own, even though it is still inside the mothers womb. It is up to the state whether or not a third trimester abortion is legal and can be carried out in two ways, either induction abortion though injections, or dialation and extraction which is when a surgical abortion procedure is used to terminate a pregnancy after 21 weeks of gestation. This procedure is also known as D & X, Intact D & X, Intrauterine Cranial Decompression and Partial Birth Abortion. This type of abortion is illegal in the United States since the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 1995 was passed. Abortion is such an inhumane and disgusting act that laws were passed AGAINST it. How can this type of abortion be seen as ok? (1)http://www.thefreedictionary.com... (2)http://americanpregnancy.org... (3) http://www.guttmacher.org...
