The history of Abortion / My God this is horrible...

Someone shared this with me in an email so I thought I would pass it right along to you the viewers of this Blog. This Blog is devoted to sharing knowledge, wisdom and understanding on all kinds of subjects....

In the early middle ages abortion was induced by herbs and manipulation and was used as a form of birth control in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. It was generally accepted in Europe, in the early months of pregnancy. Later on in the 19th century many changed their view on abortion in the Roman Catholic Church. It was completely prohibited under any circumstance. In the Muslim community it was also prohibited unless the woman was sexually abused or the woman’s health was at risk. During the 19th century, in England and the United States antiabortion laws were passed. Many people became liberal toward the situation in the 20th century. After several debates and court hearings the three types of abortion was finally legalized under a Supreme Court ruling in 1973.

The types of abortion being Therapeutic abortion, Spontaneous abortion and abortion in general. Therapeutic abortion is an induced abortion performed to preserve the health or life of the mother. Spontaneous abortion is a miscarriage that is used to signify delivery of a nonviable embryo or fetus due to fatal or maternal factors, as opposed to purposely induced abortion. Abortion in general is a expulsion of the products of conception before the embryo or fetus is viable.

There are six ways to perform an abortion. The first one being RU-486. This is a drug given to the mother after her first missed period, that blocks the progesterone ( a crucial hormone during pregnancy). Without the progesterone the developing baby receives no food, fluid, and oxygen, so the baby can no longer survive. Then a second drug is given, which causes the uterus to contract and the baby is then expelled from the womb. Secondly is the Aspiration abortion. This type of abortion is done by stretching the cervical muscle and cutting into the uterus, the baby is then sucked out in pieces into a small bottle. The third type of abortion is Dilation and Curettage. This procedure a curette is inserted into the uterus and the baby the placenta is cut into pieces and scraped out into a basin. The fourth abortion (being the cruelest) type is a Dilation and Evacuation abortion. With this procedure the abortionist must dilate the cervix before the abortion. The abortionist then inserts a pliers-like tool through the cervix into the uterus and begin to tear the body apart, until the only the baby’s head is left. Then the skull is crushed and pulled out. The abortionist reassemble the body parts to make sure the baby is fully out of the uterus. The fifth abortion type is the Prostaglandin abortion. This abortion is done by injecting a feticide (a drug that kills the fetus) into the babies heart due to complications of the mother. After this procedure the abortionist administer prostaglandin and a dead baby is delivered. Lastly is the Dilation and Extraction abortion. This type of abortion the baby is positioned in the breech position (feet first faced down). The abortionist hooks their fingers over the babies shoulders and insert surgical scissors into the base of the baby’s skull, and a suction is inserted into the baby’s skull and the brain is sucked out. Many of these types of abortions are not force upon the patients. It is only by choice or to help save the mothers life.

Many of us in today’s society are not aware of how many lives are being killed by way of abortion. Each year about 1,500,000 babies are killed by way of abortion and each day the rate of abortion is increasingly high. Between the years of 1973-1996 a total of 35,273,792 children were aborted. Currently 1 in every 4 of our generations are not living due to abortions and 1 in every 6 women had abortions.
It is very important that we are aware of the importance of planning parenthood. If many of us in today’s society promoted avoiding non-marital sex, a numerous amount of women could avoid considering abortion or killing a young innocent baby as being an option. This will decrease the loss of lives each year.

But due to the lack of positive influence in their lives this is not considered in most cases. Abortion or neglect of the child is then an option as a result of unplanned parenthood. So the mother is either left to take care of her child in most cases, which is not sufficient for the child because the baby is not receiving the proper care that is needed from both parents. The mother is then left to only three options, to work to help provide for her family and not create a bond with her child, give her child up for adoption or an abortion. Now the child is neglected by both parents.

It was recently reported that many women who have abortions are most likely to commit suicide, than those who did not have abortions. But many are not aware that this will effect them mentally in the long run. On the physical side many women who had an abortion their first pregnancy was at higher risk of getting breast cancer than the average woman by 1.7%. If a women had aborted her child her second, third or fourth pregnancy she had an even higher risk by 4.0 times.

Many women who were victims of breast cancer did not know that it was as a result of their abortion.

Those same women who were at a higher risk of breast cancer, also dealt with the psychological and emotional trauma. Knowing that they were another statistic by killing another innocent child and they had to deal with it for the rest of their lives. Oft-times these kinds of thoughts lead to depression, alcohol and drug abuse and mental health issues. This is what causes our children in today’s society to be violent, cold-hearted and rebellious. Many of us want the luxury of sex but not responsibility, so we think that abortion is the way, not knowing that the child that is in your womb could be the greatest blessing ever or a gift from God. The women today who get abortions don’t see the consequences of damaging her body mentally and physically and her child’s body physically, until later on in the future. It all ends with suicide or a severely damaged mind.

Many are left in the dark of what produces the thought of abortion. It starts from being raised in a singled-family household. When the parents neglect the child because their was no commitment in the beginning of the relationship. So the child is left to bond with a child care provider not knowing why their parents are not there.

It is essentially important that a commitment is established, in a relationship between male and female, before the decision to be sexually involved is made. The reason is simple, the responsibility of providing for their child(ren) oft-times men decide to neglect their child(ren) and leave the women with the decision of whether or not she desires to bear the responsibility of raising her child(ren) alone, with very little financial assistance. However, the decision to abort should not be an option, with the exception of rape, incest or any health risk. By allowing women to continue to make the decision to abort, society is promoting recreational sex and negligence of men. This is why parents, teachers, the artistic community and diverse organizations should emphasize this especially to the youth because a quarter of the abortions performed per year are by women under twenty; who are most likely not married. This epidemic will not end until we as a society and nation discipline ourselves by promoting strong and healthy relationships, especially to our youth.

In September of 1975, a woman took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. This was very difficult for her to deal with, knowing she already had two sons and was single. She had no financial help because the father of her two sons walked out on her and failed to take care of them as he should. So she decided that she would abort her child. Between the months of September 1975 and January of 1976 she attempted to abort her child three times, and each time she failed at doing so. On April 21,1976 her baby girl was born, two months premature. Later on that following year in 1977 the baby’s mother passed away, and her father and grandmother took care of the baby and her two brothers. As the baby grew up, as a young girl her father explained to her what her mother attempted to do. The situation did not become clear to her until she was eighteen, married and five months pregnant. She did some research and retrieved her mothers medical records, which stated that her mom tried to terminate her unborn child three times. At this moment she knew she would not make the same mistake her mother did. Today Amy is twenty-five years old and is happy with a family and is now speaking out against abortion. If their were not as many abortions today, their could be many successful people in this world today just like Amy. So before you make a decision such as, abortion think it over because you might regret it in the future.
