Abortion is simply a medical method that interrupts pregnancy; around the world and in many
regions women have used abortion as part of their health care.
Not all women think abortion is fine, but each has the freedom to stay with the baby or abort the
baby for adoption.
Types of abortions:
* Abortion spontaneous:
Is defined as pregnancy loss before 26 weeks, when the fetus is not yet able to survive outside
the womb materno.Un guarantees spontaneous abortion occurs when a pregnancy ends abruptly.
Most spontaneous abortions, known and unknown, occurs during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy
and in many cases do not require any type of medical or surgical intervention. Likewise also the
vast majority of abortions occur before 12 weeks.
* Therapeutic Abortion
Is that aims to evacuate scientifically regulated through maneuvers, the uterine cavity, emptying
it of all its contents, this abortion as a qualified check and take the necessary measures to
safeguard the life of the patient, is seriously threatened. It is performed when the life of the fetus
is considered lost (product dead) or represents a serious danger to the mother.
Induced abortion, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) is the result of
maneuvers practiced deliberately with the intention of terminating the pregnancy. The maneuvers
can be performed by the pregnant woman or by another person on behalf of this.
Since the first laws in the early last century, abortion has been decriminalized in many countries
being both the first, second or third world and its decriminalization in these countries has meant
a drastic reduction of maternal morbidity and mortality. Then we will see the following methods
used to perform the abortion.
* Abortion legal
Induced abortion is considered legal when performed under decriminalization laws of the
country where it is practiced, when performed with her consent, in an accredited facility, and no
danger to the health or life of the pregnant through rape or for fetal malformations.
* Abortion illegal
It is considered illegal or clandestine abortion when performed against any of the laws of the
country where it is practiced.
When abortion is prohibited by law, circumstances dictate that many women look for doctors or
midwives provided to collaborate. But abortion practiced in these circumstances is dangerous
and keeps statistics of maternal mortality and morbidity infinitely superior to legal abortion.
The illegal abortion is generally practiced in the worst hygienic conditions and with limited
opportunities to appeal urgently to hospital. It is important that before proceeding with the
decision you make to values circumstances you may face.
Our legal system in the chapter on abortion, protection of human life dependent, that is, that
human life has no quality of person is a being conceived but not born, an intra uterine life
expectancy.
Moral:
Learn who is still an infant, is an innocent and defenseless child into the world.
We hope that this film will make them think and say NO to abortion.
Conceptual framework for evaluating safe abortion programs (Benson 2005): This figure
describes Benson's framework for evaluating safe abortion programs. Source for this figure is
reference
Benson provides a framework positing that abortion law and policy reform has maximal impact
on abortion-related maternal mortality when it occurs in conjunction with other supportive
programs and services (Figure 1). According to this framework, utilization of safe abortion
services, and, ultimately, a reduction in maternal mortality, is best achieved when liberalized
abortion policies are supplemented with improved availability and distribution of safe abortion
services across a population. Women's knowledge of and attitudes toward abortion, as well as
confidence in obtaining services and access to contraception, can also enhance utilization of safe
abortion services. The framework suggests that only when these elements coordinate with a
loosening of abortion restrictions can real impacts in unsafe abortion and abortion-related
mortality be seen. Although Benson's framework provides a theoretical foundation for the paper,
this study is not intended to specifically test the components of the model.
