Woman Human Rights: Abortion
According to Banerjee (2020), research shows that people who seek abortion do so for a variety of reasons, including financial and health concerns. Others argue that having another child disrupts their future plans and that they are not emotionally prepared to be mothers. Whatever reason an individual gives, the fact remains that abortion involves terminating a pregnancy, which means that the fetus does not grow to become a baby. Individuals in society continue to advocate for the creation of laws that allow women to terminate pregnancy in places where abortion is not permitted. Their major point is that women, in general, have the right to do whatever they want with their bodies, including not carrying a pregnancy to term (Cabella, 2022). However, a sizable number of people still believe that abortion is immoral and harmful not only to the individual but also to society as a whole. As a result, because a significant number of women who have had abortions are reported to have a higher risk of developing breast cancer, a lower fertility rate, and a higher risk of emotional instability, abortion should remain illegalized.
According to Cabella (2022), there is a need for a restriction on women having abortions because it is associated with an increase in the chances of a woman developing breast cancer. Breast cancer is a serious disease that, if left untreated, has a negative impact on an individual's quality of life. Women who have had abortions at any point in their lives, according to Banerjee (2020), are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer than those who have not. The main reason for this is that a pregnant woman produces a lot of estrogens. Estrogen is produced during the first half of pregnancy, and breast cells differentiate during the second stage. As a necessary consequence, if a woman carries a pregnancy to term despite estrogen production, the breast is protected from cancer due to cell differentiation. However, if the pregnancy is terminated during the first half of the pregnancy, the woman is still at high risk of developing cancer, as estrogen is associated with an increased risk of developing this disease (Cabella, 2022). Furthermore, treating breast cancer is an expensive condition for both individuals and society as a whole. As a result, because abortion increases a woman's risk of developing breast cancer, it is critical to keep it illegal.
Furthermore, because of the dire consequences of abortion, such as loss of life and over-bleeding, it should be made illegal. According to Banerjee (2020), despite the use of advanced medical methods for terminating a pregnancy, there is a high risk of women suffering negative consequences as a result of the procedure. Heavy bleeding is one of the most common complications that women face. When excessive bleeding is not treated properly, a person may die. Furthermore, even when modern abortion methods are used, there is a risk of infection. With infection, one is more likely to encounter other risks that could lead to death. Another perilous consequence is the possibility of a woman who has had a surgical or medical aborti...
