Forcing her to bear the added responsibility of the child she conceived through the unfortunate act, would only add to her mental stress. If the woman was raped, it is definitely something she did not want. In situations like these, why is she to blame? The unexpected pregnancy then becomes an unwanted one too.
My point here is, when the man is equally responsible for the pregnancy, why should a woman be the lone sufferer? In a lot of cases, infidelity, and a man not willing to take the child’s responsibility, are reasons why most women are forced to abort. If this is true, then it is also true that the woman did not get pregnant on her own. Talking about responsibility, it is true that everyone is responsible for their own actions. An adolescent is neither mentally nor physically ready to continue a pregnancy. Unwanted teenage pregnancy can have serious complications, if the pregnancy is continued. This certainly does not affect the woman’s health gravely or her ability to conceive in the future. As a result, abortions pose only 0.5% risk for the woman to develop serious complications. Most of the abortions are done during the first trimester, when it is the safest. It depends on the mother, through the placenta and the umbilical cord, for nutrition and health, and hence should not be considered a separate entity.Ī lot of care and precautions are taken while carrying out an abortion. One of the important abortion facts is that most of the abortions take place in the first trimester, when the fetus cannot live independent of the mother. However, should the right of a fetus be greater than that of a woman who, in majority of the cases, would bear the responsibility of the unplanned child? It is true that life in every form should be respected. A fetus may be alive, but so are sperms and eggs. One of the most pertinent questions regarding abortion is, ‘When does life begin?’. Denying her the right to her body is violating her most basic freedom. If she decides not to have a pregnancy, she should be able to do so. When a woman is pregnant, it is her body that goes through all the stress of pregnancy. In such a case, abortion becomes her best option.Ĭontrol over her body and the freedom to decide the course of her life is critical to a woman’s civil rights. This certainly spells a bleak future for such girls. With a life to support, many such girls drop out of school and start working, in order to fend for the child. A minor mother isn’t psychologically ready to handle the responsibilities of a child. She may not even be able to provide her child with everything it requires. She may be immature, and may not be in a position to take the responsibility of a new life altogether.
If a woman is below the age of 21 (at least), she is too young to have a baby.
These reasons would include age, society, responsibility, and a lot many other reasons. Women choose to abort due to a lot of difficult circumstances. So, why do they abort in the first place? Is she being plain cruel? Does she not care about the fetus (her child)? Such questions should be rendered invalid. First of all, it is very important to understand why women opt for abortion.
