Abortion

Abortion is defined as “a safe and legal way to end a pregnancy” (Planned Parenthood). If something is legal then it becomes the person’s choice whether or not they do it. However, if something is legal that does not make not make it a law. If someone doesn't want to do it then they don’t have to. That isn’t enough for some people though, they want to make sure everyone follows their views and will say anything to make the other side look bad. This paper includes both sides of the argument about abortion. A woman should have the right to choose for herself what happens to her body. Whether or not to have an abortion should be something she can freely and legally choose.

The methods of performing an abortion are safe, legal, medical procedures that are performed by doctors. There are two main methods of abortion. Both keep the woman out of harms way and effectively end the pregnancy. Abortions are very expensive. Both methods range from 300 to 800 dollars depending on where a woman goes to receive the treatment.

Abortion is never taken lightly, it is a big decision and is always treated as such. The doctor will give the woman a physical exam and lab work ups before starting either method. They want to protect the life of the woman all the way through the treatment.

The most common method is Medication Abortion, more commonly known as the Abortion Pill. Women choose this because it feels more natural as the abortion happens just like a miscarriage. The doctor will give her a pill, Mifeprostone, to be taken at the clinic and antibiotics to continue at home. This pill blocks progesterone. Without it the lining of the uterus breaks down which ends the pregnancy. The second pill is Misprostol and it causes the lining of the uterus to break down. The second pill is usually given three days later. (Planned Parenthood)
