Abortion
Abortion is the ending of pregnancy by removal of a growing baby from the womb of the mother. Abortion involves different procedures to terminate pregnancy and avoid birth of a baby. Medication and surgical processes are some of the methods used to carry out abortion. Traditional methods such as the use of herbs during pregnancy in most cases results in abortion. Abortion is encouraged by personal circumstances, mothers’ health risks and chances of the baby having abnormal conditions. The cases of abortion increase daily because of people’s ignorance towards family planning education. Abortion procedures have risks to mothers’ physical health when conducted at a later stage of pregnancy. The essay discusses the irrelevance and risks caused by abortion in the society.

Abortion does not improve mothers’ lifestyle but contributes to immoral behaviors in the society.
The surgical procedure of abortion causes development of infectious diseases in the female reproductive tract. The infection originates from unsafe procedures, such as the insertion of unsterilized medical instruments into the uterus (Farrell 128). The medical instruments cause uterine bleeding, which might cause death. Incomplete abortion causes pelvic infections because of the remaining of fetal body parts in the uterus that might require several surgeries (Zastrow and Karen 137). Most women use antibiotics to conduct repeated abortion and empty the uterus. The female body reacts to antibiotics causing infections that promote illness and death. Impaired reproductive system contributes to contact of sexually transmitted diseases to sexual act...
