Alright. I just read that pregnant women should be informed that having an abortion is safer than having the baby. In fact the guidance is drawn up by 18 senior gynecologists, nurses and abortion providers.
"Women should be advised that abortion is generally safer than continuing a pregnancy to term."
There won’t be any psychological harm, if the woman decides to terminate her baby. Although rates of psychiatric illness and self-harm in women are higher among those who had an abortion.
Prof Patricia Casey said: “The message this sends out is very worrying. There are more than 30 studies showing an association between psychological trauma and abortion.”
Does this mean people should stop thinking about having babies? I think there are cases in which women are gang-raped & in such cases, they should be allowed to have an abortion & that too if they are willing to have one. No one needs to impose their god-damn opinion on others. I once read about this girl who was being raped by her father on a daily basis & when she got pregnant, she wanted to have the baby, but her parents didn’t allow her. All along her mother kept mum, but she couldn’t stand the idea of her daughter giving birth to that baby.
Prof Patricia Casey is saying there is an association between psychological trauma and abortion; at the same time, there is no evidence in this new study that termination itself is likely to trigger psychological problems. Who should we believe? We are not doctors, medical students & nurses. But if abortion is safer, then what does it imply? People will have babies anyway. In fact those who are not interested too have them, cause they are reckless bastards.They don't care.
Anyhow, the draft guidance from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is for all doctors, nurses and counselors advising women contemplating terminations.
There are times when the baby may have OI or other incurable diseases that may cause a lot of problem in the long run. Abortion is suggested in those cases. I’d like to share one of the passages…this woman had an abortion, but she didn’t feel great about it later on:
“Here’s what no one tells you…When you deliver a fetus, you get a death certificate, but not a birth certificate. And afterward, your milk comes in, & there’s nothing you can do to stop it. You can’t win. Either you have the baby & wear your pain on the outside, or you don’t have the baby, & you keep that ache in you forever. I know I didn’t do the wrong thing. But I don’t feel like I did the right thing, either…They gave me a choice & even now I wish they hadn’t.”
I’m not trying to make this write-up dramatic. Different people will look at the same situation in different ways.
