Abortion

             Abortion is legal, but it is one of the most terrible things that occurs today. The definition of abortion is the termination of pregnancy resulting in the death of the fetus. This means someone kills the child while it is still growing inside of the mother. This is a belief that should not be followed. Abortion affects more than just pregnancy. It can be an emotional hazard, a health risk, and can be considered murder. First, it can cause large amounts of stress to the mother.
             There are several aspects of abortion that can end up putting the psychological health of the mother in jeopardy. One is anxiety. She might be nervous about the operation or scared about what will happen to her. In addition, losing a family member can be devastating and painful for a long time, especially if it is a child. Nightmares and regretful thoughts could possibly haunt her for the rest of her life, driving her insane. Abortion can also be dangerous to the health.
             Physical health is another factor to be considered when reviewing abortion. If a specialized doctor does not perform the operation, there is a high risk of infection or blood loss which can be fatal. However, there is still a fairly large risk of injury even if a specifically skilled doctor does perform the task. Furthermore, the pain may very well be excruciating after the surgery. Even a perfect operation can leave the woman susceptible to a deadly infection. Although, the worst of all about abortion, is that it is murder.
