Induced Abortion (IA)....
Medicine Have legalized IA for so many cases especially cases that puts the life of the mother in danger..
In the recent years medicine legalized (IA) for Mothers having an abnormal embryo or fetus (down's syndrome and many other genetic diseases) for it affects the community negatively especially constitutionally and economically...
In different countries the laws differ..some legalize any kind of IA and some dont...
In a country that does not legalize this act such as lebanon , eventhough someone may perform IA without feeling guilty against humanity but the Doctor who performed the IA in that country Is guilty towards humanity and medicine laws in general...
So both ways end in an action against humanity...
The baby has the right to live.
i have a QUESTION to the ones agree with IA..
WHY DONT U KILL A BABY WHO IS ONE DAY OR ONE MONTH YEARS OLD??how does this act differ from a 7 month fetus?
nowadays
every young and mature girl should clearly know about most
contarceptive methods...
any act that would lead to an unwanted pregnancy btw two unmarried couple is an act of ignorance and irresponsibility and they must be responsible for their acts.
for married couples there is no excuse unless a failure in tye method of contarception in this case the pregnancy could be stopped by emergency contraception so it doesnt lead to Abortion.
For the Females on this forum i say...if u read about the
side effects of Curretage
(D&C) u will prefer to have the baby more than abortion coz this procedure may leave u without children the rest of your life ( D&C is a procedure in which the Doctor remove the fetus or embryo from the uterine cavity by multiple scrapings) especially side effects as
uterine infections and/or Uterine perforation. For USA and UK these lines are From
Williams Obstetrics 21st edition(latest) LEGAL ASPECTS.
Until the United States Supreme Court decision of 1973, only therapeutic abortions could be performed legally in most states. The most common legal definition of therapeutic abortion until then was termination of pregnancy before the period of fetal viability for the purpose of saving the life of the mother. A few states extended their laws to read "to prevent serious or permanent bodily injury to the mother" or "to preserve the life or health of the woman." Some states allowed abortion if pregnancy was likely to result in the birth of an infant with grave malformations.
The stringent abortion laws in effect until 1973 were of fairly recent origin. Abortion before quickening—the first definite perception of fetal movement, which most often occurs between 16 and 20 weeks' gestation—was either lawful or widely tolerated in both the United States and Great Britain until 1803. In that year, as part of a general restructuring of British criminal law, a statute was enacted that made abortion before quickening illegal. The Roman Catholic Church's traditional condemnation of abortion did not receive the ultimate sanction of universal law (excommunication) until 1869 (Pilpel and Norwich, 1969).
It was not until 1821 that Connecticut enacted the nation's first abortion law. Subsequently, throughout the United States, abortion became illegal except to save the life of the mother. Because therapeutic abortion to save the life of the woman is rarely necessary or definable, it follows that the great majority of such operations previously performed in this country went beyond the letter of the law. Borgmann and Jones (2000) have extensively reviewed legal issues in providing abortions.
INDICATIONS. Some indications for therapeutic abortion are discussed with the diseases that commonly lead to the operation. Well-documented indications are persistent heart disease after previous cardiac decompensation and advanced hypertensive vascular disease. Another is invasive carcinoma of the cervix. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (1987) established guidelines for therapeutic abortion:
• When continuation of pregnancy may threaten the life of the woman or seriously impair her health. In determining whether or not there is such a risk to health, account may be taken of her total environment, actual or reasonably foreseeable.
• When pregnancy has resulted from rape or incest. In this case, the same medical criteria should be employed in evaluation of the woman.
• When continuation of pregnancy is likely to result in the birth of a child with severe physical deformities or mental retardation. Issues such as maternal HIV-13 infection are less clear-cut but problematic (Araneta and colleagues, 1992).
As the church is against IA , Islam too is against with different view points....
some clerics say it is allowed before 40 days and some is never allowed..the main debate btw the two sects is this question "when does the soul enter the body or form?during the first seconds of conception or when the heart or other organs start to work?.."
any way Islam legalizes the IA for whatever endangers the mother's life but not genetic defects as i know..but in an islamic country like iran abortion for downs syndrome as an example is also legal by the isalmic law.
thnx for ur patience
