First-Trimester Abortion: Easier Than a Tonsillectomy
In this day and time, first-trimester abortions have become extremely common
among women of the United States. Abortion is the removal of a fetus from the uterus. ... Abortion, or termination, is known to
be one of the safest surgical procedures performed, and few women experience any
physical problems post surgery. In fact, complications from having an abortion in the first
three months of pregnancy are considerably less frequent and less serious than those
associated with giving birth. Since the Supreme Court re-established legal abortion in the
U. ... Generally, the earlier the
abortion, the less complicated and safer it is. The safest time to have an abortion is
between six and ten weeks from the last menstrual period. The key factors that contribute
to the safety of a first trimester abortion include; the skill and training of the provider, the
kind of anesthesia used, the women’s personal overall health, and the abortion method
used. ...
Despite the emotional distress one might experience when dealing with an issue
such as giving up an unborn child, abortion clinics throughout the United States are full on
a day to day basis, and most appointments must be made months in advance in order to be
admitted. ... “By
age 45, nearly half (43%) of the women in America will have had an abortion” (Dudley,
1). ... However, an
abortion does not require as much time taken away from daily activities than a
tonsillectomy does. ... However, after an abortion, the patient is
able to resume normal activities after twenty-four hours, but told to avoid strenuous
activities for four to five days post surgery. ... “Following an
abortion, a possible period type flow will occur, usually proceeded by cramps, especially
occurring in women with active jobs or lifestyles” (Haire, 6). ... Emotional distress can be a major issue for a women after an
abortion, while someone that endured a surgery having their tonsils removed will probably
not think twice about it again. “Some factors that may affect your emotional well-being
after an abortion include: the situation which caused you to choose abortion, emotional
maturity, emotional stability, rapport with clinic staff, factual or nonfactual information
you received before or after the abortion, support or nonsupport by family and loved ones
concerning your decision, alcohol and drug abuse, and a history of mental illness”
(Mueller, 67).
