Every once in a while, a topic of discussion will come up that makes some people cringe. Just at the mere thought of a debate, or that someone could be against a belief of his or her own, is mind-boggling! And so it begins, the heated debate. Debates can come in all lengths and sizes. However, none of them will usually be as strong or potentially violent as an ethical practice. Ethics can affect a person in ways he or she had no clue. The person may become upset and cry, feel sick, or even get violent. Although I myself remain calm over most debates, abortion is one that I feel rather strongly about. But it is not just abortion that I feel so stern over. In fact, I feel that it is a woman’s right to choose what she does with her own body when it comes to abortion. Although, one situation that I do not accept the same is partial-birth abortion. This paper is being written as an informative approach to an unfortunately fast growing reality.

There will never be anything that can be done to prevent a mother from injuring herself. The fetus is then carefully pulled the rest of the way out of the mother’s body except for the head, which will remain inside the vagina. So therefore it is her responsibility to make all appropriate decisions and take all measures necessary for providing for her child.
Doctors around the world in nearly every large metropolitan city can be found who perform abortions. The procedure must take place during the second half of pregnancy and normally in the second trimester to be considered a partial-birth abortion. A suction tube will then be pushed into the brain, collapsing the skull. But some generic reasons are as follows: (1) The mother feels that she is not capable of continuing out the pregnancy due to the lack of the father in her life; (2) The mother has a drug or alcohol problem and does not feel suited to being a mother; (3) The child has suffered an injury while being carried and is known as having extreme brain damage or possible deformations; (4) The mother does not feel as though she or her family is capable of providing for the child; (5) The mother is unwilling to accept the responsibility (Anonymous Physician).
