3. INTRODUCTION
In the past two hundred years, over one
million Americans have died for their country.
Abortion is one of the most controversial and
important subjects of this generation.
I surveyed 22 people and from all of them
only 7 were against abortion, 12 were for
abortion, and 3 were undecided.
4. 1. WHEN DOES THE UNBORN BABY’S HEART
BEGIN TO BEAT?
The heart beats begins between the 18th
and 25th day.
At 3.5 weeks the fetus:
will have formed the heart
begins development of the
brain and spinal cord
starts forming the
gastrointestinal tract.
5. 2. WHEN DOES THE BRAIN BEGIN TO
FUNCTION?
40 days.
6. 3. HOW EARLY CAN A BABY SURVIVE OUTSIDE
THE MOTHER’S WOMB?
Currently 20 weeks is considered the
accepted minimum. However, this time will
be reduced as medical technology continues
to improve.
7. TYPES OF ABORTION PROCEDURES
Manual Vacuum Aspiration: a syringe is
used to suction out tissue which causes
abortion.
Electric Vacuum Aspiration: an electric
pump is used to suction the tissue out.

9. Dilation and Evacuation: it uses a spoon-
shaped knife, or curette, to ensure that all the
placental tissues are removed by scraping the
uterine walls.
10. Hysterectomy Abortion: it is a cesarean
section to terminate a pregnancy.
11. Prostaglandin: A hormone is injected into
the mother’s uterine muscle and produces
violent contractions. The baby is either
crushed to death by the contractions or
delivered barely alive and left to die.
12. Intracardiac Injection: pinpoints the location
of the baby’s heart using ultrasound. A long
needle, filled with fluid, is then injected into
the heart causing an immediate heart attack.

18. SUMMARIZE
Abortion is one of the most debatable and
controversial issues that exist today in our
society.
No matter, how we persuade ourselves,
every woman that decides to put an end to
her pregnancy understands that it is wrong.
When abortion is done, it is in fact the end
of life of a human being that already can feel
and think.
