Abortion should be legal
If women become pregnant, They should accept the responsibility that comes with producing a child. Your idea that to control overpopulation we need to murder babies is morally unacceptable, It could be compared to murdering people. Instead of killing, We should teach couples to have responsible sex, Abortion should only be permitted if the mothers life is in danger or she was raped (in my opinion). "On the question of limiting population: As you know, The Japanese have been doing it rather vigorously, Through abortion, Which I think would be repugnant to all Americans" - John F. Kennedy, December 1959. Not only this, But it causes Mothers do undergo psychological damage because of Abortions, The Scandinavian Journal of Public Health showed that "Young adult women who undergo. . . Abortion may be at increased risk for subsequent depression. " BMC Medicine also found that Woman that go through Abortion suffer "significantly higher" anxiety scores, The Southern Medical Journal found that more than 173, 000 American women who aborted were 154% more likely to commit suicide. The British Medical Journal also found that the annual suicide rate amongst women who had an abortion were 34. 7 per 100, 000, Compared with a mean rate of 11. 3 per 100, 000. A Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology study of men whose partners had abortions found that 51. 6% of the men reported regret, 45. 2% felt sadness, And 25. 8% experienced depression. Fetuses feel pain during the abortion procedure, And this is a proven fact. Maureen Condic, PhD, Associate Professor of Neurobiology and Anatomy and Adjunct Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Utah School of Medicine, Explains that the "most primitive response to pain, The spinal reflex, " is developed by eight weeks gestation, And adds that "There is universal agreement that pain is detected by the fetus in the first trimester. " According to Kanwaljeet J. S. Anand, MBBS, DPhil, Professor of Pediatrics, Anesthesiology and Neurobiology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, "If the fetus is beyond 20 weeks of gestation, I would assume that there will be pain caused to the fetus. And I believe it will be severe and excruciating pain. " Even Bernard N. Nathanson, MD, The late abortion doctor who renounced his earlier work and became a pro-life activist, Stated that when an abortion is performed on a 12-week-old fetus, "We see [in an ultrasound image] the child's mouth open in a silent scream. . . This is the silent scream of a child threatened imminently with extinction.
