Patient discussion about aborts.

Q. What Are the Methods of Terminating a Pregnancy? What ways are there today to end an unwanted pregnancy?

A. the way i see it is if your able to go and have unprotected sex,then its your own fault,now the only one to suffer is the child,(if you do the crime then do the time)the only time i would allow an abortion is if it was because of a rape,aborting a child is something that will haunt you for the rest of your life,and its a moral sin.

Q. HOW CAN WE THE PEOPLE GROW TO UNDERSTAND WHY AND HOW ABORTIONS WORK?PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THANK YOU!A.M.C

A. There are different kinds of abortions depending on what week of pregnancy you are in:
1. Medication abortion- certain drugs are taken to cause an abortion. It only can be done early in pregnancy. Suitable for women who are up to 7 weeks pregnant.
2. Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA)- MVA is performed with the use of a handheld syringe as a source of suction for removing uterine contents. The procedure time is 5–15 minutes and is performed in settings such as a doctor's office, clinic or emergency room. A patient typically leaves a doctor’s office or a clinic within two hours. Typically, cervical anesthesia is used in combination with orally administered ibuprofen. It can be used to induce abortion in women as early as three weeks after the beginning of her last menstrual cycle and up to 12 weeks gestation.
3. Surgical Abortion- after 13 weeks and more.

Q. What do you know about abortions? How safe is it, are there pills that you can take to avoid the process?

A. I don't want to start a fight or anything here. Please forgive me for saying this. Consider your life when you have aged to 55 plus. Children to help take care of you, family to be with. Holidays are very lonely without family. Your children may be the only ones who care for you. Life is so much more with family. I wish I had a baby to hold. They are all so precious. I will say no more.
