Abortion
Abortion can be defined as a medical practice that involves ending a pregnancy so that it does not result in giving birth to a baby (NHS Choices). This is also referred to as termination of a pregnancy. In some of the cases, the patients that wants to terminate their pregnancy will use medication, while in other cases the procedure may involve having a minor surgery that will involve the removal of the fetus. This is a topic that has generated some of the most controversial debates across the health sector, in most of the states and countries across the globe (NHS Choices). It is a topic that traverses the medical, legal, ethical and religious fields, with either of the sides citing the reasons for or against the practice. Over the last several years, the debate about abortion being legalized has raised concerns among the religious groups, citing that this is a practice that is no different to murder. On the other hand, there is the ethical debate surrounding health complications for the mother and the baby and the need to terminate the life of the child, in order the save the mother. This has also been tied to the issues of women having the right to their bodies, where they can decide to have a baby or not depending on their circumstances and better judgement (Haelle, Tara).
