...Abortion is an intentional violent act that kills an unborn baby; the baby is dismembered, torn apart, and vacuumed out of the mother. Some people believe that abortion is inhumane; however, many people do not find abortion cruel and find it a necessary operation in certain cases. From the many reasons that make abortion just, the most common reasons that abortion could be necessary are baby before marriage, baby conceived of rape and pregnancy seriously endangering the life of the mother. As what some people believe, abortion is the very last solution that woman should thing of. It kills human and its against the human right. According to the pro-life: the unborn baby has the right to live even if its still in side the mother womb. In the case of the having a baby before marriage, abortion could be the first solution to get rid of the baby. A woman should have the right to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes! For instance, the women could get pregnant without any planning; she may not be ready for a baby in her life. In other words, having a baby could possibly distort the life couple’s who is not yet married. Doctor Garson Romalis tells a story about his experience of an abortion, he said “Let me tell you about an abortion patient I looked after recently. She was 18 years old, and 18-19 weeks pregnant. She came from a very strict, religious family. She was an only daughter, and had several brothers. She was East Indian Hindu and her boyfriend was East Indian Muslim, which...

...wing proponents. INTRODUCTION The term “Abortion” is etymologically rooted in the Latin word “Aboriri” meaning “miscarry”. Going by this etymology, one may literarily define abortion as either a mechanized or unintended termination or miscarriage of a pregnancy. Technically speaking, abortion is the deliberate act or a medical operation purported to end a pregnancy at an early stage. It is the ending of the life of a fetus before it is able to survive on its own. Most of the arguments that have ensued on abortion recently are based mainly on whether the fetus is a human or a tissue. They all in like fashion gear toward showcasing the logicality or the absurdity of postulations that hold it intricately true that the fetus in the womb is a human with right and in need of respect. Although some have scorned these arguments as rather too myopic, it remains a truism that all arguments about the morality of abortion stops once it is established that the fetus is either a man or a tissue. Before looking at the various forms...

...This high stress will cause the woman’s body to release Norepinephrine and Cortisol hormones which weaken the mother’s immune system and increase her blood pressure. If the baby is exposed to too much cortisol in the womb it is all much more prone to anxiety and depression later in life. A music therapist will come in and use music to help elevate a mothers stress threshold so that she maintain a more relaxed state during the labor process. • Maternal-Fetal Bonding o Musical stimulation can help develop a fetus’ nervous system. The best way to increase the maternal-fetal bonding is through singing. The baby hearing the mothers voice in a musical/rhythmical way helps the baby have a sense of calm when they are born. There is research to show that if a father sings to the baby while in the womb, the baby walk at a younger age. • Prenatal Language Development o Music has also proved to be a very effective way of accelerating a child’s language learning. If their auditory and sensory receptors are simulated while in the womb then they are more likely to develop their language learning at a more rapid...

...How would someone feel if someone took away their ability to live? Many babies all around the world are in life threatening situations everyday. The only difference is that people can fight for their lives and do whatever they possibly can to survive. A baby cannot. Ever since abortion was legalized in the United States millions of poor innocent babies have been killed. Abortion is a controversial issue affecting our society. Many people believe that abortion is a woman's constitutional right to choose especially in certain situations such as rape, or health issues threatening the mother’s life. On the other hand many other people believe that abortion is evil because it is killing an unborn child that had no choice to be born. To end an innocent...

...ILLEGAL DRUGS FOR THE UNBORN 2Imagine being the unborn fetus living inside a womb that is supposed to protect you, witha mother who is consuming illegal drugs which are harmful to you? You can’t speak, or tell her to stop. You can’t prevent her from consuming things that harm you because you are living inside of her womb, so her decisions are what affect you. A mother should not be allowed to use any form of illegal drugs while she is pregnant as this can cause severe problems for the child developing inside of her. Any woman, who consumes illegal drugs while pregnant, should be charged with child neglect and abuse; preventing the woman from being the mother to that child she doesn’t care for. A mother is supposed to protect her child, not harm...

...Every human being begins life as a single cell, formed when father's sperm fertilises mother's egg. Fertilisation normally takes place in the mother's Fallopian tube, which connects the uterus (womb) with the ovary. The uterus is the size and shape of a large pear: it is made of muscle and it stretches to allow the baby's growth throughout the months of pregnancy. A woman ordinarily has two tubes and two ovaries, one at each side of her uterus. Every month one of the ovaries in turn releases an egg (ovum) which passes slowly along the tube towards the womb cavity If the egg is not fertilised within 12 hours or so of being released, it dies; it cannot develop further. But if the woman has sexual intercourse during the days of her monthly cycle just before or at the time when an egg has been released from the ovary, then many sperm cells released by her partner may travel up to the Fallopian tube and one may fertilise the egg. When fertilisation is completed and the nuclei of egg and sperm have combined, a new being comes into existence and is capable of further development. Because the parents are human - belonging to the species Homo sapiens - the new being is also human. Fertilisation (by which we mean conception) marks the beginning of the human lifespan. A consultant specialising in the care of pregnant women writes: "Life does not begin with birth. When born, we are already nine months old... we have a responsibility to learn how to study the life in utero, and how to care...

...Abortion is an act that kills an unborn human. It is poorly affecting our humanity. Abortion is the method of putting a termination to the life of the fetus by killing it in the womb itself. Considering ethics and beliefs, death is morally wrong. Therefore, the killing of unborn baby is morally wrong as well. Abortions, this immoral practice of killing an unborn baby should be illegal everywhere in world because it is same as the murder of an innocent, gives rise to a psychological pain to a woman, and woman to tolerate several medical complications. What is abortion? Most of us don’t want to think about it. The baby is pulled out of the mother. Abortionist harshly pull out the baby out of mother and then vacuums out the brain of baby. It...

...cannot survive outside of the womb (Head). One surgical procedure that is very well-known is dilation and evacuation. In this procedure, forceps are used by the doctor to remove most body parts of the baby, but the brain and skull are left, only to be demolished and done away with in a very gruesome way (Methods). This procedure can be done up until the baby is 32 weeks old, which is only 2 weeks away from a full term pregnancy. Another surgical procedure that is most commonly used during the first three months is the suction aspiration. This procedure uses a suction tube to dismember the fetus and remove it from the mother’s womb. Medical abortions can also be completed by the use of medications in the earlier months of pregnancy. Methotrexate is a pill that can be taken by the mother to stop the fetus from growing. This medication supplies toxic chemicals that break down the cells of the fetus and eventually cause death. Another medication, called Misoprostol, causes contractions and allows the dead fetus to be pushed out of...

...First, many young women growing up as teenagers choose an abortion because they are so young and there is no other way to keep their baby. When it comes to younger women and deciding to abort their baby early it will cause them to live in guilt and be damaged mentally for a matter of weeks and months. Many women can go through a lot such as being fully dilated in their cervixes to allow the bodies to go through the abortion procedure. Side effect to late term abortion could cause many infections in their bodies along with bleeding afterwards. Second, most women end up feeling like there is no point to live. They have no enjoyment in their life, which causes women to be depressed afterward in going through a late term abortion. A lot of women go through a stage called “post-partum depression” when they have a baby or abort it. Thirdly, many women do not realize that it took two humans beings to make this baby that they would soon be aborting. Many fathers have no say so on fighting to keep their baby alive, so the baby can have a life. When the women decide to do, what is best to do, it is always hard for a father to live with that and not be able to do anything about it. Therefore, it will affect both man and women mentally when make a decision to aborting their baby early at a late term stage in their...

... Development of Hearing in the Womb Infants sense of hearing under goes most of its development in the womb (Baby center) states that a baby’s inner ear fully develops by the 20th week of pregnancy. The ability to hear is fully developed at birth. While in the womb, babies can hear your heart beat, your stomach grumbling and the blood moving through the umbilical cord. Babies are even startled by loud noises. The results suggest newborns will gravitate toward and pay more attention to what may be “their mothers melodic sounds than those of other women, and will pay more attention to other similar sounds like female voices in general, than they will to even less similar sounds, like male voices. The findings add to evidence suggesting that prenatal hearing can help infants perceive the sounds of speech. It was long know that newborns can discriminate or perceive most of the acoustic properties of speech. The theoretical view is that these capacities are mostly independent of previous auditory experience and that newborns have a bias or skill for perceiving speech. Scientist believe the newborns capacity to perceive speech is physiologically “built in’ during development of the auditory system. A study in Proceeding of the National Academy of Science reinforce what many people have believed babies hear what their moms say and their brains recognize these words after birth. What unborn babies hear can shape their brain. Infants in the womb can hear with little or...

...Abortions and Morals versus The Right To Choose Latrice Dixon PHI 103: Informal Logic Professor Victor Reppert 2/7/2012 // . Over the course of history topics have been discussed, debated, and then re-discussed. Some would say can’t they agree to disagree or maybe move on to another topic. The most controversial topic in America history has been and continues to be abortion, the right to choose life or death. This paper will give the argument for and against abortion, the history of abortions, the religious aspects, and the statics of abortions including complications. I am against abortion because of my religious views and I think it is morally wrong to have an abortion. Considering America’s ethics and values, death is morally wrong. This makes the killing of unborn fetuses morally wrong as well. Abortion is not justified because it goes against God’s word, is murder, and, poses risks to the mother. On January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decisions, handed down two rulings legalizing abortion in America (http://prolifeaction.org). Prior to these rulings abortion was prohibited in most of the 50 states (http://prolifeaction.org). In two states abortions were allowed New York and California, but various restrictions were in place (http://prolifeaction.org). These restrictions were removed by the 1973 rulings (http://prolifeaction.org). The Supreme Court based its decision on the “right to privacy”, which it claimed was guaranteed...

...The outcome is a deceased baby and a living mother. Many religious people are against abortion due to the fact that someone is taking a child's life away. The reason for this being that "it is always prima facie seriously wrong to end the life of a baby," (Marquis 184). Anti-abortionists seem to agree on life beginning at the moment of conception. Therefore, abortion is equivalent to murder. If this is the case, then why is it wrong to kill a toddler or child at the age of 5, but not morally wrong to murder a baby that is still in the womb? The child may not necessarily be able to care for itself without it's mother, but anti-abortionists believe that these babies have a genetic code. This genetic code is needed in human beings, so fetuses should be considered human beings even while they are in the womb. All in all, killing a child even though they are not able to fend for themselves is...

...learning child development and rather or not children learned the traits that they have or it’s just genetics passed on from the parents. Nature focuses on how the information that children learn shortly after coming out the womb is hereditary and has been imprinted on them since they were in the womb. Nurture focuses on the information that children learn is strictly learn by environmental factors and psychological experiences. Which of both makes up a child in everyday life, but I would agree that environmental factors and psychological experience outweigh the hereditary opinion. Nurture seem to make more sense just like the Gary and john story they were both predisposed to environmental risks such...

...Home Medicine Diet & Fitness Family & Parenting Love & Relationships Mental Health Policy & Industry Viewpoint Drugs Updated Guidelines for Treating Babies Exposed to Drugs in the Womb By Maia Szalavitz | @maiasz | January 30, 2012 | 2 inShare.15 Jade Brookbank / Getty Images The question of how best to help babies who have been exposed to drugs in the womb — including prescription pain medications, antidepressants and illicit drugs like methamphetamine and cocaine — can be an emotionally charged issue. Bringing science to bear on the issue, the American Academy of Pediatrics has just updated its guidelines on treating these infants. The number of babies experiencing drug-related symptoms after birth has risen by 45% since 1995, according to data compiled by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The rise may be attributed in part to increased maternal drug misuse and addiction, as well as to greater legitimate use of medication to treat pain and depression. Further, more careful surveillance for symptoms associated with maternal drug use have turned up more affected babies. About 1% of pregnant women report recreational use of opioid painkillers like Oxycontin, according to the National Household Survey on Drug Use and Health, a number that has stayed constant since 2003. The new treatment guidelines, appearing on Monday in the journal Pediatrics, recommend that pregnant women addicted to prescription...

...Language is a way of communication and is not just a verbal behavior but physical and biological. Babies are ready to communicate their needs directly out of the womb. A baby is able to tell us when their hungry, uncomfortable, soiled, and sleepy. Our brain is prewired to communicate babies are born with all the neurons they will ever have (SITE). There are many parts of the brain it all connects like a networking center. The brain maturation is a lifelong process that takes time and if it is damaged could have a huge impact on learning and other qualities of life (site). The brain is responsible for speech and learning, the cells that are in the brain can be strengthened and used to retain information. However if the cells...
