What is
abortion?
Abortion is the termination of an embryo or fetus. The procedure differs depending on which stage the parents decide to have the abortion. For example, if a woman is 7-8 weeks pregnant, doctors could give her a pill to release the embryo from the uterine wall. In this case, when the embryo is released, it feels and looks like the woman is just having her period.

However, if the
mother is between the 8 and 12 weeks of pregnancy, abortion becomes a
more invasive procedure. Doctors vacuum the embryo
out surgically. At this stage, the fetus probably
feels pain since its nervous system is completely
developed.
These procedures
exist because of new technologies that were originally created in order to
further the field of medicine. Unfortunately, they are used in order to end
with the beginning of new lives that are not responsible of their mother’s
choices, and, furthermore; facing pregnancy is really difficult if people are not
prepared to have a child, since there a lot of factors people will have to deal
with during parenthood. An abortion, then, is not a decision easy to take, but it
has to be done with responsibility.
