Woman Human Rights: Abortion
According to Banerjee (2020), research shows that people who seek abortion do so for a variety of reasons, including financial and health concerns. Others argue that having another child disrupts their future plans and that they are not emotionally prepared to be mothers. Whatever reason an individual gives, the fact remains that abortion involves terminating a pregnancy, which means that the fetus does not grow to become a baby. Individuals in society continue to advocate for the creation of laws that allow women to terminate pregnancy in places where abortion is not permitted. Their major point is that women, in general, have the right to do whatever they want with their bodies, including not carrying a pregnancy to term (Cabella, 2022). However, a sizable number of people still believe that abortion is immoral and harmful not only to the individual but also to society as a whole. As a result, because a significant number of women who have had abortions are reported to have a higher risk of developing breast cancer, a lower fertility rate, and a higher risk of emotional instability, abortion should remain illegalized.
According to Cabella (2022), there is a need for a restriction on women having abortions because it is associated with an increase in the chances of a woman developing breast cancer. Breast cancer is a serious disease that, if left untreated, has a negative impact on an individual's quality of life. Women who have had abortions at any point in their lives, according to Banerjee (2020), are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer than those who have not. The main reason for this is that a pregnant woman produces a lot of estrogens. Estrogen is produced during the first half of pregnancy, and breast cells differentiate during the second stage. As a necessary consequence, if a woman carries a pregnancy to term despite estrogen production, the breast is protected from cancer due to cell differentiation. However, if the pregnancy is terminated during the first half of the pregnancy, the woman is still at high risk of developing cancer, as estrogen is associated with an increased risk of developing this disease (Cabella, 2022). Furthermore, treating breast cancer is an expensive condition for both individuals and society as a whole. As a result, because abortion increases a woman's risk of developing breast cancer, it is critical to keep it illegal.
Furthermore, because of the dire consequences of abortion, such as loss of life and over-bleeding, it should be made illegal. According to Banerjee (2020), despite the use of advanced medical methods for terminating a pregnancy, there is a high risk of women suffering negative consequences as a result of the procedure. Heavy bleeding is one of the most common complications that women face. When excessive bleeding is not treated properly, a person may die. Furthermore, even when modern abortion methods are used, there is a risk of infection. With infection, one is more likely to encounter other risks that could lead to death. Another perilous consequence is the possibility of a woman who has had a surgical or medical abortion having tubal pregnancies in the future. In this type of pregnancy, the fetus is said to be outside the uterus, indicating that both the woman's and the fetus's lives are in danger (Cabella, 2022). If the condition is not well managed, a woman may face the risk of never having another child. Thus, if abortion could result in internal bleeding or, in some cases, damage to the fallopian tube if the ectopic pregnancy is not terminated quickly, it should remain illegal.
Also, because statistics show that women who have had abortions are more likely to be depressed than those who have not, abortion should be made illegal. In today's world, many young people are said to be depressed, regardless of their financial situation or level of education. As a result, young women who choose to have an abortion in a society where abortion is considered immoral become depressed because they believe they have done something that society does not approve of Cabella (2022). In religions such as Christianity, life is said to begin at conception, and this gives a fetus the right to live. As a side effect, even if abortion is legalized, a woman who lives in a society where abortion is considered the murder of an innocent fetus is likely to face public humiliation. Furthermore, if depression is not treated effectively, it can lead to suicidal ideation as a result of a lack of social support from one's society. Furthermore, some of the methods used to end a pregnancy are harmful and traumatizing, especially in developing countries. As a result, an individual's life is likely to be lost in the process, and the fear of death leads to sorrow and stress if not dealt with properly. Abortion should be made illegal because it has contributed to many women being diagnosed with chronic depression, which, if left untreated, can lead to suicide.
Moreover, abortion should be made illegal because it is linked to a decrease in female fertility. According to Cabella (2022), when women live in a society where medical services are not advanced, their fertility rate is likely to decrease when they undergo an abortion. Women in some developing or underdeveloped countries are forced to use antiquated abortion methods such as dilation and curettage. As a result, cases of scarring among women have been reported, and if not treated properly, this can affect their wombs' ability to carry future pregnancies to term. As a consequence of the rising rate of infertility among women caused by abortion, their marriages are more likely to fail. Most women who support abortion claim that they are doing so because they are not emotionally prepared to care for a child. They also claim that they do not want to have children to interfere with their future plans, which include studying, but they risk becoming infertile if complications arise.
Furthermore, abortion should be made illegal because it results in the loss of life. A woman can terminate the life of the fetus in her womb through abortion. Donohue (2020) believes that no human being has the right to take the life of another simply because of their level of development, size, or environment. According to Banerjee (2020), a fetus has life and deserves to be treated as such. Proponents of abortion argue that terminating a fetus a few months after it is formed is legal. Cabella believes that every human being, regardless of size, is important (2022). As a necessary consequence, whether a person is a month old or fully mature, every human being has the right to life. Gyawali (2020) goes on to say that terminating a fetus simply because it is in someone's womb is inhumane. The majority of abortion supporters argue that women have the right to do whatever they want with their bodies, including making decisions about the life they carry in their wombs. However, Elvandari (2020) asserts that a person's significance is not diminished simply because of their surroundings. As a result, because abortion results in the loss of an unborn child's life, it is critical that abortion be made illegal.
Furthermore, abortion must be made illegal in order to protect women's mental health. Gyawali (2020) also believes that abortion should remain illegal due to the psychological impact it has on women. In some cases, despite the fact that the abortion is successful, the women's mental health suffers. Following abortion, a significant number of women have been reported to experience nervous tension, sleep disorders, and, in some cases, an increase in suicidal ideation (Donohue, 2020). One may suffer from the guilt of killing an i...
