Abortion isn’t the solution

Today there are many controversial issues which can be discussed. One very important controversial issue for as long as can remember is abortion. An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death. An abortion can occur spontaneously due to complications during pregnancy or can be induced. Obviously, in this essay will focus on induced abortion. “In 2011, 1.06 million abortions were performed, down 13% from 1.21 million in 2008. From 1973 through 2011, nearly 53 million legal abortions occurred” “A broad cross section of U.S. women have abortions are in their 20s, have one or more children, are unmarried and not cohabiting and are economically disadvantaged.”Jones RK and German J, Abortion incidence and service availability in the United States, 2011, Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, 2014. http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_induced_abortion.html.

The answer, according to science, should be no. If you say yes, you have killed Beethoven. Scientist such as doctors are against abortion because it may present physical risk to the mother such as: abdominal pain and cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding, infections and even death.
