Abortion - Some Scientific Facts

Considered as a crime in various religions and cultures but a population control measure in some westernized countries, we need to first understand the concept of abortion a bit better.

Abortion isn't easy!

If you thought abortion was easy for the mother, think again. It can get complicated and if the baby fetus has completed a trimester, abortion can get risky too.

There are various facts that have proven how harmful the consequences of abortion can get for the mother. Some facts that each and every one out of the learned audiences should know:

Human beings or babies rather, develop in a jiffy. These begin to grow very rapidly after the egg has been fertilized.

It takes only 24 days for the heart of the baby to start beating. The brain of the baby starts functioning by the 4th week and this functioning brain is destroyed by the 4th or the 6th week- when the abortion is possible and takes place.

The case of Roe v. Wade was decided back in 1973 and since then there have been more than 53 million abortions across the globe, with most of them in the U.S.A. There are various forms of abortion today and if you count those women who resort to abortion with the drug RU 486, the number totals up to more than a million abortions every single year. These statistics have just been on the rise since the past decade.

Some stats

In America, every single day, there are 3000 babies who are aborted. About over a 50 percent of the African-American pregnancies end in an abortion. There are various abortion clinics which sell the parts of the baby's body to the medical institutes and research centers.

Clamps are used for destroying the scapula (the shoulder blades), the skull and the other organs in order to let out the slaughtered baby from the pipe out of the womb. If the baby fetus has been in the womb of the mother for more than 3 months, the abortion can be risky often putting the health of the mother too at risk. This is why strong advice and medical help should be asked for before carrying out abortion. There may be a valid reason for you to resort to adoption. However, make sure that you follow all the procedures.
