What would you advise a woman who is pregnant for the fifth time Whose husband suffers from syphilis and she suffers from tuberculoses, whose oldest child was born blind Whose second child died whose third child was born deaf That she should have an abortion? You just signed the death sentence of Ludwig van Beethoven.
Each year, over dozen million teenagers became pregnant and 85% are unintended. Of all the teenage women who become pregnant, 35% choose to have an abortion. In some states clinics require a legal guardian's permission to have an abortion and in some don't. While writing about the legal abortions, according to the United Nation's Demographic Yearbook, the country with the biggest amount of abortions per year is Russia, with over 2, 7 million in the year of 2002! Greece, is in 18th place according to these statistics, with "only" 10 568 in the same year. To summarize from all of the numbers mentioned above, 87% of all women who have had an abortion, have suffered its negative consequences. In the dictionary, the word abortion means, "a premature birth occurring before the fetus can survive". In other words, an unborn child is not able to make the decision whether to live or die, to be loved or a burden. We need to think of everything before making the decision of having an abortion.
My best friend had an abortion too, several months ago, and she suffered the negative consequences of it. From all of the conversations that I had with her, and the research that I have gathered from different books and articles, like "Psychological And Emotional Consequences of Elective Abortion" by Mary Zimmerman, the article from the magazine "In The Globe" issued on September "03 with the name "Guilt over abortion is rare", and through a lot of web pages, I became more aware of the severe side- effects of one of the most common issues in the world, especially between the adolescents- the abortion.
