Abortion

Medicines such as oxytocin are sometimes given to cause the uterine muscles to contract and reduce the pain, most of the methods are related to the labor and birth process itself (Adam 2), but certainly the method of abortion that will be used is depending on the physician and his personal preference and skill and the policies of the hospital, but the most important factor is the length of the pregnancy and the size of the fetus (Horvitz 213)

             Abortion clinics are often violently targeted by anti-abortion protesters. Some of the protesters that perform these repulsive acts have been affected in some way or another by this issue and feel like they have the right to protest aggressively. Violent anti-abortionists have gotten to the extreme where the verbally and physically abuse physician performing these abortions. Abortion doctors have been yelled such things as "baby killers" and "murderers" in public places and even on their own private properties. Some even refer to the process of abortion as "cutting up the baby into pieces, poisoning the baby, causing him to convulse or die, or the delivery of a dead baby." (Horvitz 213). Consequently, physician's families are also endangered by violent physical acts. Abortion clinics and their workers are also affected in this bloody battle. Perhaps the scariest thought for these abortion doctors is that there are serial killers that actually think that by killing them may save the lives of unborn babies. .
             The life of the mother is affected physically and psychologically during and after the procedure. Abortions maybe legal, but nobody can deny that they are extremely risky. "Legal abortion is reported as the fifth leading cause of maternal death in the United States, though in fact it is recognized that most abortion related deaths not officially reported as such" (Sarvis 75). Some of the leading causes of death due to abortion are not just during the procedure but also afterwards.
