Abortion and problems

1. • Artificial termination of pregnancy today more than at any time in previous history. Every day, about
100 million sexual acts are performed in the world, in 910,000 cases, conception occurs, in 10% of
these cases, pregnancy ends in induced abortion.
• At the moment, both the medical consequences of abortion - maternal morbidity (often leading to
infertility) and mortality, and moral and legal - problems of its admissibility in early pregnancy and
legislative regulation are of concern.
• Purpose :
to consider the moral, ethical and medical problems caused by artificial termination of pregnancy .
• Tasks :
consider various types of induced abortion;
identify the medical consequences of abortion and its impact on a woman 's reproductive function
to consider methods of prevention of artificial termination of pregnancy.
• Methods :
synthesis of information from various sources;
analysis of the collected information;
formalization of the collected information ;

2. The concept of "abortion" and its prevention
• Abortion means "miscarriage" in Latin. Abortions are spontaneous and artificial. Spontaneous miscarriages occur externally. An
induced abortion is a medical or surgical procedure used to end a pregnancy.
• abortion - this method is used up to 4 weeks of pregnancy. During such an operation, metal dilators are sequentially inserted into
the cervix, and each subsequent instrument is larger in diameter than the previous one. After these manipulations, a tube from a
vacuum aspirator is inserted into the uterus. The created negative pressure contributes to the absorption of the inner layer of the
uterus (endometrium) and the fetus. If an abortion is performed for more than 4 weeks, the fetus ruptures.
• Medical abortion (pharmacological) is a method of terminating a pregnancy at an early stage with the help of special medications.
Advantages of medical abortion: this is not a surgical intervention; anesthesia is not required; reduction in the risk of ascending
infection; the possibility of terminating pregnancy at the earliest possible date; good tolerability of the drug by patients.
Disadvantages of this method: abortion may not occur and the pregnancy will progress; incomplete abortion; uterine bleeding is
possible.
• Medical Abortion - Dilation and Removal in Late Pregnancy This procedure takes 3 days. During the first two days, the cervix is
dilated and the woman is given anti-spasmodic drugs. On the third day, the woman takes a medication that induces childbirth.
After labor has begun, the doctor will do an ultrasound to locate the baby's legs. Grasping the legs with forceps, the doctor pulls
the child out, leaving only the head inside. Then, with scissors, he makes a hole in the skull and releases the contents out. The skull
is destroyed and the baby is removed completely from the uterus.

3. Problems caused by abortion
Any abortion, both surgical and non-surgical,
inevitably carries the risk of complications
and undesirable consequences. If an abortion
cannot be avoided, it is better to use non-
surgical methods of abortion , as they
minimize the likelihood of possible
complications.
With non-surgical methods of abortion, there is no penetration of instruments into the
uterus, therefore, there are no mechanical damage, inflammatory complications and
complications associated with the use of anesthesia.

4. Moral and ethical problems of induced abortion
• In recent decades, abortion has become one of the most intensively and
diversified issues of moral theory. However, the philosophical and scientific
sophistication of this discussion, of course, does not mean at all that the
problem of artificial termination of pregnancy is becoming clearer.
• Opponents of abortion consider the concept of fetal viability as a justification
for artificial termination of pregnancy completely untenable.
• First, from their point of view, the embryo has the right to life from the moment
of conception.
• Secondly, they constantly emphasize the conditional nature of the concept of
"viability".
• Thirdly, in the publications of opponents of abortion, there are documented
cases of survival of children born with a body weight of 420, 360 grams .

5. Attitudes towards the artificial interruption of
nascent life (abortion)
• 3 ETHICAL POSITIONS :
• CONSERVATIVE : (the belief that abortion is
always immoral and can only be allowed when it
comes to saving the life of a pregnant woman)
• LIBERAL : (the absolute right of a woman to have
an abortion, regardless of the age of the fetus)
• MODERATE : abortion is ethically justified only
when the fetus has not reached a certain stage of
development and if there are circumstances in this
particular case that justify this operation

7. Conclusion
•In conclusion, I would like to draw your attention to the
fact that no matter what method of abortion a woman
chooses, no matter what experienced doctor performs it,
abortion will always lead to complications. Abortion is not
a form of contraception. In order to avoid unwanted
pregnancies and abortions, it is better to prevent them using
modern contraception.
