Webster's dictionary defines abortion as "the expulsion of a nonviable fetus." Abortion might possibly be the most controversial topic right now.

I'm sure by now that you've heard of all the different types of abortion. Almost all abortions performed in the US are surgical abortions, where the fetus is removed by suction or other means. (Medication offers another option, to be discussed later in this report.) During a suction abortion, the fetus is dismembered and disposed of by a small tube. This process takes but about 10 minutes, and the mother experiences very little or no physical discomfort. Pro-lifers immediately say that emotional trauma and guilt haunts every woman after she has an abortion. However, during my research, I found numerous women who led (and continue to lead) prominent and scot-free lives after their abortions. I think that the mental state of the mother depends very much on her personal feelings toward abor

I think that Silent Scream was another feeble attempt to scare people out of abortion. Judging by the reaction of the class, people have wised-up to pro-lifers. People will no longer tolerate being bombarded with graphic descriptions, gory pictures, and sorrowful testimonies. To but it bluntly, I am fed up with extreme pro-lifers. Granted, not all of them are as bad as I make them out to be, but about a year ago, while walking out of my dad's office at Jewish Hospital, we were "harassed" by three pro-lifers. At first I thought they would respect our privacy and let us pass. However, they blurted out "Did you know that there are abortions being performed at Jewish Hospital?!" What did they intend that question to accomplish? We tried to ignore them kept walking, but they persisted and attempted to force their pamphlets and handouts on us. I would have had no problem had they simply offered us a pamphlet, but I felt violated when they thrust them into our faces.
