What exactly is abortion?Do you think it is moral?What are the forms of abortion?Have any true stories?

I'm writing a speech about abortion and I really need some help. Personal stories would be greatly appreciated, along with your opinion. Also, could someone explain in detail what exactly abortion is? By the way, do you have any tips for writing an attractive introduction and conclusion for this speech? Thanks a bunch!What exactly is abortion?Do you think it is moral?What are the forms of abortion?Have any true stories?
When a woman has an abortion, the organism living in her (that used her to grow, feed off of, and live in) dies. I believe this is moral because it should be a woman's choice whether she wants to have the baby or not. I think people should mind their own business. People that do not support abortion are the ones in favor of war... is that very moral? Didn't think so.What exactly is abortion?Do you think it is moral?What are the forms of abortion?Have any true stories?
hey, 1st do some reasearch online. it is your paper not ours. 2nd asking for stories is okay, but don't know if you will get any, online you can probably find a lot for and against it. then for an intro come up with a catchy phrase, easily place your thesis, pick some radom verbs and adj's or just ask several friends and come up with a paragragh using them. remember to always connect the old to the new when you write, repeat a word or phrase or idea from the pervious sentence (with out being to obvious) and all-- this will give it great flow.
its when you kill a baby before its born. It is moral. Methods are the coat hanger or drain-o. No stories
Well using Y!Answers as a source is probably not a great idea. But, maybe we can help you find places to look to for your information. There are several ';true stories'; about abortion on the web. Be prepared to read some very emotional material - the ';cause and effect'; stories of some women out there who have had abortions are heart-wrenching to say the least. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy and there are different types of ';abortion'; out there. Anything from ';the morning after pill'; (which prevents a fertilized ovum to mature) to ';partial birth abortion'; (a literal dismemberment of a fetus in order to expell it from the uterus). Partial birth abortions were out-lawed in the United States during Bush's administration despite the out-cry of women's rights activists throught the nation. I recently read the story of a woman who had a partial birth abortion out of necessity. Her baby had a severe birth defect of the spine that would either kill it upon birth or would leave it completely paralized for what would be a short and painful exsistance. She chose to abort it early in the second trimester as an act of mercy. She did not want her child to live a life of excrutiating pain - if he even lived at all. Women have many motivations for abortion but the effect is usually the same. Pain. Deep emotional pain. Whether a woman aborted her baby after one night of carelessness, or to save her own life, or prevent the pain and suffering of her baby after it's birth... it still takes a woman with more strength than most will ever know to live with the emotional torment of loosing that little ';light'; of life that was growing inside of their bodies. And, just as a note to anyone reading this thread: before you judge women who've had abortions by saying that they're just looking for the easy way out or that they are irresponisble and don't want to take responsibility for their actions - listen to their stories. Why they did what they did and the impact it has had on their lives.

Hope this helps. Go into your research with an open mind. :)
abortion is when a woman gets pregnant and then they chose to have the fetus removed. The one place that is famous for this is planned parent hood. Alot of states have started making rules about abortions that the fetus must be removed in a certain manner and a certain time frame. You should google it and find some pictures. There are acids that injected into the placenta and it burns the baby alive. there is also a method where the use a suction device and they suction certain parts of the baby out. It is very painful. most people belive that it is a womans choice to chose whether or not her child dies. That its not a baby but a fetus and that they can't feel anything. Check out the stages of life on a child. you would be amazed. I believe that abortion is totally wrong. A child is not something that you just kill b/c you don't want the responsibility of it.
I've had a D%26amp;C done after I miscarried (baby measured 8wks at 11wks w/ no heart beat). I couldn't pass it naturally, so the Dr. went in and sucked it up. I believe it's a vacuum process. I was terrified of my actually aborting the fetus, even though sonograms showed no heartbeat. My parents (Catholic) reassured me (along with lots of prayer) and the week of waiting that I did the right thing for myself.





I've heard of things put inside that cut up the fetus to make it easier to pull out. Partial birth abortion is where the Dr. person snaps the head right after the head comes out of the canal.





In Animal Biology at Univ. North TX, I was tought that a fetus's heart starts beating at 3 weeks. Most women don't know they're prego until 4wks. That's where I feel it's abortion (heart beating).





Maybe start with a picture of a beautiful healthy baby %26amp; show what it could've ended up like (you can find many pics on the internet). That would draw attention (maybe not attractive). It depends on if it's a debate %26amp; you're trying to convince to 1 side. You can bring up the recent presidential candidate potentials positions on it (Clinton, NY ex-mayor,etc). Why it's such a political argument, what people around the world do to limit population growth, people putting newborns in trash cans, the emotional struggles of giving up for adoption (showing the world you're pregnant for 9mo %26amp; the so-called shame of not keeping it), etc.





What do we, as a general group, have to do to agree on terms? Why is responsible sex so difficult to accomplish as a whole? Good luck!
I have a true story for you:





A girl, about age 16, went to a Planned Parenthood to get an abortion. She was young, looking forward to college, and her dreams were about to be squashed. She was told that she needed her parent's consent and 350 bucks. Without money or a place to turn, her belly got bigger and she became depressed. She never sought help or medical attention, did drugs, and eventually had the child one day. She rode in a taxi cab to the hospital with a fever. She almost died herself from an infection from not having gone to the hospital earlier (after her water broke), and she was hurting inside.





In all, that woman wishes that at the age of 16 she was allowed to have an abortion. Society told her she was irresponsible and could not decide for herself; yet she was old enough to have sex. Today, the child and herself are well, bit she is an avid feminist activist and supporter of women's rights.





On a personal note, I do not believe abortion is wrong. Among many reasons that abortion is legal and always will be, is:





1. Woman were traditionally subservient to men. In order for women to get ahead, they need to make their own choices about such a financially and emotionally dependent decision.





2. Women will resort to other harmful means of abortion and probably kill themselves in the process if abortion were illegal.





3. Not everyone in this great nation believes in a Christian God, or a God at al for that matter. Religion plays a big part in one's beliefs.





4. Ultimately, freedom of choice is freedom in general. The govt. cannot say what one will and should do to their body; as long as it does not impact another person. A fetus is not a person. Is an egg a chicken salad sandwich?





Good luck with your research!
