10 Solid Reasons Why You Must Avoid Abortion

Whether you are already pregnant or are worried about the possibility of an unplanned pregnancy, you have to try as much as possible to avoid abortion.

Abortion can be defined as an act of terminating a pregnancy. An abortion that occurs spontaneously is also known as a miscarriage. When deliberate steps are taken to end a pregnancy, it is called an induced abortion, or less frequently an “induced miscarriage”. The procedure involves the use of drugs or surgical means to remove the embryo or fetus and placenta from the uterus.

Abortion is an illegal act and is punishable by law in many countries while other countries have legalized it. In such countries where abortion is legalized, the procedure is done by a licensed health care professional.

However, in countries where abortion is illegal, there are no licensed health care professionals and as a result, women (especially young teenagers) fall into the hands of quack abortionists.

The term “ABORTION” is nothing but a respectable way of using the word “MURDER”.

Sometimes abortion is due to personal reasons and sometimes due to social pressure. Although the termination of pregnancy is a personal decision, most of the time it is to prevent oneself from being treated as a so-called bad/wayward girl in some societies. This is because pregnancy before marriage, especially in a country like Nigeria, is regarded as taboo according to her culture.
