The proposed 20-week abortion ban legislation has created quite a stir among women, some of whom have been forced to terminate what they call a wanted pregnancy for serious reasons. However, abortion creates an impact on the womean involved and this is not softened even when it is claimed that the abortion involved a wanted pregnancy.
Anti-abortion advocates agree that abortion is the act of taking another life and it is too ironic to use the term wanted pregnancy when one has opted to terminate it. There is a belief that the pregnancy has turned from wanted to unwanted the moment a decision to terminate the pregnancy has been made. But whether the aborted pregnancy is wanted or not, the woman feels remorseful after the abortion.
There are many women who have ended a so-called wanted pregnancy according to Ending A Wanted Pregnancy and they have all experienced the pain and remorse. These women need a support group to give them hope amid thee pregnancy loss.
Abortion does not only leave an impact on the emotions of a woman but it also has a physical and health impact. Action Life said the link between induced abortion and the development of breast cancer later on has a physiological basis. When a woman conceives, there is a twentyfold increase in the oestradiol hormone during the first trimester of pregnancy. At this time carcinogens are most likely to affect breast cells.
However, the risk of breast cancer is reduced when the pregnancy takes it course naturally. This is not the case when the pregnancy is abruptly terminated through abortion since the release of the hormone that can reduce cancer is not released. This will somehow increase the number of breast tissues that are stimulated dangerously which could lead to breast cancer.
Action Life said studies show that there is a link between abortion and a variety of cancers related to the reproductive system including cancer of the cervix and the ovaries. The study has directly linked cervical cancer to induced abortion as well as cancer of the rectum. However, North American research establishments have ignored these conclusions.
