DEFINITION
Abortion is the deliberate termination of pregnancy with
surgery or drugs.
CAUSE
Based on research conducted by the Guttmacher Institute, a
nonprofit organization in the United States is engaged in research, analysis,
education and reproductive health, reproductive rights, and the population,
there are three main reasons why a person chooses to have an abortion:
·
Negative impact on the life of the mother.
Pregnancy occurs at the wrong time can have an impact on the ability of a woman
to family and work. Schoolgirls students who become mothers before leaving
school or college are less likely to complete their education than their peers.
·
Financial instability (not afford to pay child
support). Pregnant and gave birth to a baby gives a considerable cost burden
until the baby is brought up, especially if a woman becomes a single parent.
·
The existence of problems in relationships with
spouse / do not want to be a single parent. Most women with unplanned
pregnancies are not married or living with a partner. To that end, they realize
that they may have to raise their children alone.
In addition, there is also another reason to discontinue the
pregnancy (abortion):
·
pregnancy contraceptive failure / do not want to
increase the number of children again
·
not ready to be a mother or not ready to have
children again
·
do not want others to know that she was pregnant
or had sexual intercourse (outside marriage)
·
desire husband, spouse, or parent
·
disturbance in fetal health
·
disturbance in maternal health
·
pregnancy due to rape or incest
Fact :
Every abortion kills an innocent human being.
Every life begins at conception. This fact can not be
denied, both in animals and in humans. Every abortion means ending the life of
an innocent human being.
Morally, the reasons of poverty, rape, disability, or
unwanted pregnancy does not justify abortion.
There is no reason or circumstances that can justify the
killing of humans after birth. Likewise, there is no reason or circumstances
that can justify the act of killing a human before birth.
SYMPTOMS
The method can be performed for surgical evacuation abortion
or the use of drugs to stimulate contractions of the uterus.
Complication
The risk of complications that can occur related to
gestational age. The greater the gestational age, the risk of complications is
also getting bigger. The risk of complications is also related to the method of
abortion used.
-Evacuation Surgery
·
The uterus can be torn by the instruments used
·
In rare cases, bowel or other organs can
contribute to injury
·
The cervix can be torn by the instruments used,
especially if the pregnancy has reached more than 12 weeks
·
Heavy bleeding during or after the act is done
·
Infection
·
This action or infections can cause scarring on
the surface of the uterus, causing the mother becomes barren, called Asherman's
syndrome
-Drugs.
The most frequent side effects of the use of medicines for
abortion is like cramps pelvic pain, bleeding, and gastrointestinal disorders,
such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Bleeding and infection may occur if any part of the placenta
left in the uterus. Then, blood clots can form in the legs, especially if the
woman is less active.
Women who have abortions may also experience psychological
problems afterwards. This is especially true in women who have an abortion for
health reasons, teens, had an abortion at age pregnancy, an abortion is
illegal, and have conflicting feelings toward abortion.
Fact :
The difference between embryonic and adult are different
levels of development and not a difference in kind.
As his case toddlers and teenagers, the terms embryo and
fetus do not lead to non-human, but human at certain developmental stage. Human
being in the womb is still less developed, smaller, and more dependent than the
man who had been born. This difference is the difference in levels in humans,
but not a difference in kind. No man is bigger, stronger, smarter, or more
independent than we are, but it does not make our lives less valuable or less
than they need protection.
DIAGNOSIS
Ultrasound examination can be performed to determine
gestational age. Ultrasound examination can also be done after the abortion, to
see that the pregnancy has ended.
TREATMENT
If the abortion was finally done, it remains necessary
post-abortion care.
After an abortion, a woman must rest. Bleeding can occur up
to a week or more after the abortion. If bleeding occurs very much or long,
then immediately go to the doctor for a check-up.
In the event of symptoms below, then post-abortion women
should immediately go to the doctor for a check-up:
·
Fever more> 37.7 degree C or chills
·
Heavy bleeding (full pads every hour for three
consecutive hours)
·
Severe cramps or old, that does not improve with
medication
Post-abortion infection can be avoided by:
·
do not perform vaginal intercourse or insert
anything into the vagina (including tampons) for 2 weeks after abortion
·
may shower, but do not soak or swim
After the abortion, the menstrual period will be returned
within 4-7 weeks later. The woman can be pregnant again, for the use of
contraception when having sex will be back. The menstrual cycle can be
irregular at first.
PREVENTION
One way to prevent unwanted pregnancies and prevent abortion
is by not having sex before marriage.
