Abortion con's argues that abortion is wrong for several reasons: 1) It is murder and violates the fetus's right to life 2) It defies God's word 3) It can cause pain to the fetus 4) It can psychologically damage the mother by increasing risks of depression and suicide 5) It may increase risks of future miscarriage or health issues like breast cancer. Additional cons of abortion include potential medical side effects, high costs, requirements for parental consent in some states, and needing to make a quick decision early in pregnancy.

1. Abortion Con’s

2.  For the purpose of surveillance, a legal induced abortion is defined as an
intervention performed by a licensed clinician (e.g., a physician, nurse-midwife,
nurse practitioner, or physician assistant) that is intended to terminate an
ongoing pregnancy.
 Most states and reporting areas that collect abortion data now report if an
abortion was medical or surgical. Medical abortions are legal procedures that use
medications instead of surgery.

3.  1. Abortion is murder: Killing is wrong and killing of the innocent human being
inform of abortion is wrong. According to federal victims of violence act, the law
should punish anyone who intentionally procures an abortion.
 2. Violates human right: Once you conceive, a life begins. When you do an
abortion, it will be violating the right of the unborn baby. Unborn babies are
humans and they have the right to life.

4.  3. Defies the word of God: Any form of killing defies the word of God. Once a baby
is conceived, he is considered a child of God and procuring an abortion results in
the killing of a human being.
 4. The pain of the fetus: Abortion cause pain to the fetus especially if done after 20
weeks of gestation.

5.  5. Psychological damage: A research published in Scandinavian Public Health
Journal indicated that women who went for an abortion at a young age have a
higher risk of depression. Some even end-up committing suicide.
 6.Increases the likelihood of future miscarriage: Induced abortion can lead to first
trimester miscarriages to some women.

6.  7. Lead to breast cancer development: Immature cells that facilitate breast growth
in preparation for breastfeeding can increase the likelihood of cancer after an
abortion is induced.
 8. Eliminate future societal contribution: If mothers aborted all the heroes and the
great people in the country, then they won’t have a chance to contribute to the
development of the country.

7.  9. Selective abortion: Abortion based on genetic abnormalities leads to
discrimination. Having disabilities doesn’t make you less human.
 10. The risk of motherhood: Frequent abortions can prevent you from being
pregnant again.

10.  Abortions involve side effects, just like any other procedure Even though legal
abortions are generally safe, these side effects may include pain, discomfort,
bleeding, infection, and in some cases, injury to internal organs or reactions to the
medication. It is rare for a woman to have these symptoms, but they do happen.
It’s important to talk to your doctor to know what to expect during and after an
abortion.

11.  Abortions cost money. Like everything else in the medical world, abortions are not
free and they cost a lot of money. They can range from $500 to several thousands
of dollars. If you have health insurance, an abortion won’t be covered by
insurance, which means you will have to pay out of pocket. This can be pretty
expensive.

12.  There may be psychological side effects. While it is not an official diagnosis, there
is a syndrome called post-abortion syndrome. You may experience depression,
anxiety, uncontrollable mood swings, and even thoughts of suicide. Some women
might even turn to drugs and alcohol. It’s important to think about these things as
you make your final decision.

13.  In some states, you must have parental consent. If you are a young woman who is
facing an unplanned pregnancy, you may be considering abortion because you
don’t want your parents to know. In some states, you may have to have your
parents’ consent before getting an abortion. While this is a hard fact to face, it is
also inevitable.

14.  You must make the decision early in pregnancy. Most abortions are performed
during the first trimester because medical risks are higher if performed later in
the pregnancy. It is hard to even find abortion services during your second
trimester. This means that you must learn of your unplanned pregnancy early on
and make the decision in the first few months. These time constraints rush
women into a decision that they may later regret.
