Pros and Cons of Abortion

September 10, 2008

If you are planning to abort your breathing fetus, then you should be aware of its pros and cons before moving ahead. Every technology brings with it advantages as well as some drawbacks. While the advancement in medical science has made abortion an easy option for unwanted pregnancies, it has also led to the misuse of this science through various reported cases of abortion being performed without any solid reason behind it. However, abortion should not be taken as some form of convenience which sanctions amoral behavior. Only if it is extremely necessary, one should take the drastic step of abortion and before taking the final step- it is advisable to have a look into the pros and cons of this medical technology.

There are various advantages attached to the medical option of abortion as it provides a woman an option of not giving birth to an unwanted child (caused due to rape) thereby providing her with some individuality in a male-dominated society. In addition, it also helps in keeping a check on the size of family and many a times, abortion can also be seen as a way of safeguarding women’s health. While the positive aspects of abortion might make it seem like a viable option, it needs to be used discretely. One should always remember that abortion in simple terms is nothing but an act of killing your child in the womb. While in some cases abortion becomes necessary for the health and safety of the mother, it should not be used as a cover-up for amoral and irresponsible actions. Moreover, abortion has many complications attached with it as it lessens the woman’s chances of having children later in her life. It can lead to various medical complications like infections, sepsis, recurrent miscarriages and others. It can also lead to some psychological complication in the woman like depression which might be triggered off by guilt.

Abortion thus is an extremely sensitive and complex medical advancement which needs to be used sensibly only for the protection of helpless women. It should not be used indiscreetly as that would advocate immoral behavior in the society.
