The Ethical Complexities of Abortion

in HiveGhana8 months ago

Many ladies are fond of this attitude which I believe should be eradicated in the society, abortion is now like a regular thing that every underage girls can be doing for fun, they never see it as anything that can endanger their lives but a way of enjoying life.

In this world today a 15year old girl is now coming out of the hospital all in the name of abortion, they are now god-daughters to auxiliary nurses who never know the difference between paracetamol and tetracycline, the quack who endangers little children's lives.

There are so many dangers attached to abortion, apart from death there is a high possibility that those people whom they believe so much can also make a terrible mistake during the cause of operation which can damage their womb and they will now be praying from one mountain to the other when they finally settle down, they will be using their ordeal to frustrate their husband that wasn't part of it not knowing that the consequences of what they did when they were young are now backfired.

Some people never know the usefulness of protection, some ladies detest protection and this leads to abortion, abortion processes are much, not just operating on the unborn child, some ladies can combine different concoctions just to get rid of pregnancy which can lead to untimely death.

Most ladies do not know about sex education, they all believe in opening their legs and closing them, parents are no longer raising responsible children in this generation because the rate at which little girls are getting pregnant is very rampant, should I say they failed as parents?

There are so many ways to prevent pregnancy instead of abortion, before sex there are drugs that ladies can use in other to neutralize sperm and if you can not do that, then you have to go for family planning, I know this has its side effects as well but it is better than aborting an innocent soul. Children are gifts from God and I do not support the act of abortion because such a person may not have the opportunity to give birth again if the wrath of God descends on such a person.

We have some circumstances where ladies can have an abortion and it is very legal, if you are married and the child in the womb has any syndrome, then the doctor will advise the parent to abort the child in other to have a better one, that one is fair and acceptable.

I once lived with a woman who was pregnant, one day she came back from antenatal and bursted into tears, she told me that the doctor said she should abort the child because the child would happen to be special, I believe we all know the meaning of special when it comes to cases like this after they ran series of test on her, I told her to follow the doctor's advice but the woman refused after having five children already, she was waiting for miracles and prayed maybe God will transform the child, she gave birth to the child after nine months and the girl refused to grow for a year, she was just like a three-month-old child at a year plus, she can not walk, she was indeed a special child, they always backed her like a child at a year plus, she spent her last money on the child, after two years the child can never walk and she died, what a loss, I believed if she had listened to the doctor she wouldn't have prolonged the matter to the stage of losing the child.

I know everyone has the right to their body but it will be a great loss when we are kissing our youths because of abortion so I would say
The government should frown at this act just to protect our girls, abortion is endangering the lives of the youths and anyone caught in such an act should be severely punished, any doctor found in such an act should have his or her license revoked, and there should be a strict act on this and the agency that deals with the use of illegal drugs should ban any drugs used for abortion in every country.

This is my opinion on abortion for this week's engagement week #53 of #hiveghana community prompt.

While I was attending for antenatal care of my last baby, I saw some women evacuating their babies due to one diagnosis or the other by the doctors. This is the only abortion that should be advocated otherwise my hands are not there.
If you can't create a life, then why should you want to terminate the one our Creator created through you.. people neglect the dangers of abortion, shame!

I'd say that sex education should comes first to avoid abortion as more cases of having teenage pregnancy that ends in abortion

You are right but some parents are ignorance of this

Haha they are making it a taboo

parents have to the sex education very seriously, it could avoid a lot of problems. Instead of seeing it as a taboo topic to be talked about.

The woman in your story should have just followed her doctor's advice to save herself and the unborn child from unnecessary suffering.

I totally respect your take on this topic 💯.

The government should frown at this act just to protect our girls

How about the babies, should they be brought to this world to suffer coz of such a law?

Religiously it's totally wrong to abort a child, but Everybody has a right to their own body, and should do whatever they want and of course with a doctors advice.
It's better they create an awareness for it. Like pills to take after sex and so on and so forth.

Should I be forced to carry a baby, just coz my condom broke and I got pregnant knowing fully well that I'm not emotionally, physically and financially stable?

Should a rape victim be forced to carry her pregnancy to full term coz of such a law?

Should a mother of 10 be forced to carry an 11th child coz of such a law considering there's no complications in her pregnancy? Let's consider the fact that she did family planning but she still got pregnant.

What am I trying to say, abortion isn't right, but also implementing such a law isn't right either.

I respect your position, but not your logic. I do not know the state of sex education in your country, but in America it is archaic and pathetic. Abortion needs to be an informed choice that starts with appropriate sex education early and often. Studies show that a woman who understands her body stands a far better chance of making informed choices about it.
Abortion is a surgery, and all surgeries carry a level of risk. A psychological impact will occur, but is lessened by accurate knowledge, which can lead to eliminating the societal shame cast on women choosing that procedure.
I have counseled young women choosing abortion. Not to dissuade them, but to provide the information and resources they should know, and the mental support services they deserve.
I also strongly believe that the man involved must be financially liable for supporting the woman and child if abortion is denied, regardless of the man's age.
I personally do not like the idea of abortion, but without ensuring complete care for the mother and child, I have no say in a pregnant woman's decision.

We need to make this post louder! I have already reblogged! The dangers of abortion are too numerous to count. It is so sad that the moral decay in society is too high for the underage girls to even see their acts as wrong.

This abortion thing eeh, it's no longer a thing to a lot of ladies... they're not seeing it as killing. It sucks
