"Republicans are against abortion until their daughters need one, Democrats are for abortion until their daughter wants one". - //Grace McGarvie//. Abortion is a practice by which many people are in favor and against. This activity goes beyond a simple surgery to stop a pregnancy. Because it means a potential risk for physical and mental health of the mother, intentional abortion should be abolished. Effects for women are many and usually irrevesible.

Physical effects involved abortion are numerous. The sudden bleeding in women who have had an abortion are common. In 2005, Osaka General Hospital, Japan, attended more than 1500 women with reports of massive bleeding, which resulted from botched abortions (Savage & Francome, 2009). Sprains and vaginal infections are the main factor that trigger in massive bleeding eventually causing the death of the mother. Infertility is another effect with respect to abortion. In Latin America, the likelihood of subsequent infertility in a woman who underwent an illegal abortion is just as likely to a Ethiopian child die due to desnutrition (Savage & Francome, 2009). Sometimes the damage to the uterus and fallopian tubes is so great that it is impossible for the mother having offspring in the future. Although it seems that only the physical effects have repercussions in the overall health of a pregnant woman, the realization of an abortion also inevitably impacts on her mental state.

The psychological effects play a preponderant role in the progenitor and her relatives. The most common mental effect that occurs after an abortion is the repentance of the mother. 7 out of 10 women (25 to 42 years) who underwent an abortion said to have experienced more than once a sense of guilt and remorse after the event(Medoff & Marshall, 2011). This feeling usually occurs very often because many times these women are socially labeled as "criminals" or evil people, or they just realized belatedly that they denied the right to life of another human being. Other mental disorder that usually affects "abortive women" (who are called by many people) is the depression. Death of a child is the first reason why a woman takes refuge in alcohol and psychotropics, then come the loss of the couple and the diagnosis of a terminal illness from a close relative (Medoff & Marshall, 2011). The idea of killing someone who was carrying her blood is an argument that leads a woman toward a state of loneliness and deep depression. The feeling of frustration of a woman who aborted is so strong that even could lead her to kill herself.

Some sectors of the society think intentional abortion should be allowed in special cases. Rapes are one of the reasons for which induced abortion is justified. A survey by the University of Saint Patrick in New Zealand showed that 98% of women surveyed would abort the baby if it was the result of rape, they replied that they would do even if pregnancy was a few days to finish (Giublinni, 2007). Abortion for rape in theory is justified because the embarrassment would come from a sex crime, also it would be a totally unwanted pregnancy. Although there are pregnancies from rapes, performing an abortion also would violate the fundamental right of human beings, the right to life. The main purpose for which O.N.U. (Organization of the United Nations) was formed is the respect for life, rights, traditions and freedom of expression of any individual on earth, this is based on the right to live (Giublinni, 2007). Unfortunately there are events in life that are extremely unpleasant and leave irreparable consequences to people who sufferer them, one of these events are sexual crimes. One solution is that immediately after the rape, the victim denounces to her attacker and be given a pill to prevent a possible pregnancy. Being humans must be raised the main target to keep their own subsistence, and will not succeed if ends the most precious thing that their have, the life.

In addition to the aforementioned aspects, the practice of abortion generates social consequences such as discrimination, public shame or rejection of the family. Public scrutiny is often very hard as many people emit a comment basing on religious beliefs, traditions, ethnic or sexist thoughts. Personally I think no woman should have an abortion because it depends of her that in the future she be proud for having raised a useful person to society, or instead feel frustrated the rest of her life by ignoring what had happened. Because the physical and psychological health of a woman who underwent an abortion could be severely damaged, this practice should no longer be allowed. For many years abortion has been praised by some and demonized by others, but the reality is that the mother must make a desicion responsibly and understanding the consequences that would generate the killing her own son.
