abortion

abortion is the termination of pregnancy but after 28 weeks of pregnancy abortion is considered illegal. this doctor was performing late pregnancy abortions and because of that people protested against him. he was shot dead at a church. there were many protests against held against him but he stilled continued his practice. he was even shot earlier. the people saw his practice as illegal and unethical.

Should the doctor who was shot be responsible for this or the women who come for the abortion be responsible. The women were the ones who got the abortion done, the doctor was earning a living by doing that. In retrospect the people acted because of rage, they should not have shot the doctor but tried him in a court of law. The women who had come in for the abortion should have thought about it before having intercourse. However the complete responsibility of the doctors death does not fall completely on the women but also himself.

is abortion ethical? how can another person decide whether a child or fetus lives or not. however on the other side is that that fetus does not even know it is alive. almost all governments around the world have made abortion of a fetus over 28 weeks illegal. this has come forth through public opinion. In USA abortion of the fetus below the age of 28 was legalized in 1970. However the abortion does not only depend of the age of the fetus but also the health of it. if the fetus may grow into a unhealthy baby abortion beyond 28 weeks can be considered legal but is still in debate for its ethnicity. Can the baby survive when it is born, this can only be known in the later stage of pregnancy, if not should it face the harsh world or should it be killed. Both ways are correct because the baby may have the will power to do it but if not, then one would be doing it a favor by killing before it is born. Abortion depends from person to person, one may not think of the fetus as a living thing but another may think of it a soul. Abortion is not a false dilemma where it is completey right or completely wrong. There are other factors determining the ethnicity of abortion.

Another question that arises is that even though there are so many campaigns held that try and teach the public about family planning and ways how to prevent unwanted pregnancy, the public does not seem to be learning anything. Is the government wasting away its resources when it can spend in other ways? Abortion is not just limited to the debate of whether a fetus can be killed or not, abortion is something that man has been doing for ages and can cause a lot of unwanted desire like the selling of the unwanted child, abandoning it or making him or her do labour work. Abortion is a big concept which requires one to not only have a medical background but also a psychological background to understand it.
