According to studies, it has been estimated that there have been fifty-seven million, four-thousand ninety-six hundred, eleven abortions since the case of Roe versus Wade in nineteen seventy-three up to the year two thousand fourteen. That is, 57,496,011 reported murders filed as a simple medical procedure known as a MVA, MTX, D&E, or many other options, depending on timing of abortion.
With rape in consideration, there are much safer, civilized matters that can be taken in lieu of terminating an unwanted child. With rescue facilities so readily available for your child, it makes adoption much easier. Whether your adoption be closed, open, domestic or international, it is almost guaranteed that your child will live in a safe, loving environment. Recent studies show that 100% of children adopted are placed into a two parent home. To become an adoptive parent is a rather long process to ensure that you and your family are equipped to adopt a child making for a better life for the child. Although adoption is not the only other option, it is the most common.
In the years leading up to Roe versus Wade, many abortions were done illegally. While the number of abortions performed yearly, numbers being around one million per year -- much like today, the death rate of mothers was recorded as much lower than present day. Procedures were much more harmful, as women were using bleach douchebags or sharp objects inserted into the cervix, but with the leading cause being the anesthesia, death rates have since increased. Many would argue that by legalizing abortion, we are helping to save one of the two lives involved in this procedure. Although this seems like a reasonable argument, studies show that this is not true.
A large number of people attempt to use their religion and it’s beliefs as a form of defense against abortion. In some cases, this can be convicting evidence but we must also look at this in the view of science. According to Embryology, a science of the prenatal development, the life inside of a woman's body is considered to be an embryo through week six. After the sixth week, the child then becomes known as a fetus.
On average, a women will be able to distinguish that they are with child between week four and eight. At just five weeks after conception, the heart has already begun to divide into chambers and is beating to pump blood throughout the body. Soon after, the limbs will form as will the brain and organs and the bones and muscles. Although the nervous system is not fully developed until later in the pregnancy, things will begin to evolve at week three. In just the beginning stages of development, so much has already begun to construct. For many following weeks things will only progress and the child will develop at an increased rate.
