This article is written by Jay Rogers. He is an American staying in the state of Massachusetts. He attended UMASS/Amherst, where he got his double majored in English and Psychology. He got his teacher qualification at UMASS. He was teaching English in Beverly, Massachusetts and was recommended a full time writing and management position with The Forerunner, a nationally distributed university campus newspaper published by Maranatha Ministries. By his psychological background, this article will serve his reputation on commenting on the topic of his article.
The reason why I pick this article is because of its arguments and question on the safety of a legal abortion. In his article, it is written of scenarios of abortion by some individuals, who encounter problems like heavy bleedings, cervical lacerations, infections, perforations and other unfortunate problems. Its facts on its problem stated is credible from its statistic reports that he has undertake to make this article sufficient enough.
From his quote, (Let’s consider these facts in light of a pro-abortion slogan: "Freedom of choice in reproduction." What about the woman who had a legal abortion and as a result can no longer "choose" to have a baby). The reason on why he states this because of the trauma and damage women has to undertake during an abortion process and the post trauma after the process of abortion. Solely on the facts that undergoing legal abortion is dangerous maybe life threatening.
But in this article it’s true that going through an abortion is going to change a women’s life. But if a women who is pregnant from an unwilling pregnancy or rape or incest, where should she go find help if she is denied from legal abortion? Then she will undergo illegal abortion by inexperienced medical practice. So what is the benefit in that? She will still put her life in stake and thru a bigger risk of killing herself. Does it make any difference when she undergoes a legal abortion?
The solution of his article is the professionals of the responsible team which perform abortion for the woman that trusted them in doing a good job. Leaving their lives in their hands for them to make a change. But what will happen if the medical team involve is inexperienced or careless while performing their job? Who is the victim? These are the few arguments on the comparison on legal and illegal abortions. But there is one thing that I couldn’t agree more is abortion is not the answer. Prevention is better than cure. But when matter comes to worst, does a woman want to risk her life on a illegal abortion or on a legal abortion?
