History of Abortion
Abortion is a huge and serious problem in America today and has been since the 1970s. Abortion is an evil practice that consists mainly of the taking of an unwanted pregnancy and the killing of a beautiful creation of God for no reason except that it is an unwanted gift. Now I will give a brief history of abortion. Abortion used to be outlawed and looked down upon in early American society, but somehow it became the norm in the early 1970s. In the early years before abortion became popular, feminists argued against abortion because of unsafe procedures, but later the feminists changed their minds and became one of abortion’s biggest supporters. After this laws were passed making abortion legal. In the 1970s abortion clinics sprouted everywhere. To give you a quick idea on how many there are, I will tell you that there are twenty-two in the state of Illinois and 520 in the state of California. In these clinics there are a few different procedures that are used to perform abortions. The most common procedures are the dilation and extraction abortion and the induction abortion. The dilation and extraction abortion is where the fetus is shrunk and the doctor takes a claw and pulls the fetus apart piece by piece. Induction is where the doctor injects salt water into the womb, thus killing the fetus. Both of these procedures destroy the innocent life of the fetus. Worldwide 115,000 abortions happen per day and over 42 million per year.
Now I will explain how this worldwide catastrophe became legal. In the 1960s women began to push for their rights more furiously. On a few occasions women who had had underground abortions stood up and spoke before huge public groups. Soon after a few states began to give way to the women by legalizing abortion. But even after abortion’s legalization in a few states, it was still very expensive and most mothers
