For those pregnancies result from rape or insect, these women who are victims of the assaults often seen abortions (abortion- reasons for abortions 2007). Most of the women, however, decide to have an abortion because the pregnancy will represents a problem in their future and current lives as well. In the united states and in some eastern european countries for which data are available, about on-half to three-fifths of all pregnancies are unintended, and a large proportion of these are resolved through abortion. The level of unintended pregnancy for developing countries would be even higher if more accurate abortion information were available, since most abortions represent, by definition, unintended pregnancies (reasons why women have induced abortions: evidence 1998).

In certain country, such as china, they have carried out a policy which the government tend to control the population in their country, which is one child per family policy, this policy was applying in year 1980 (abortion in china 2001). Introduction of this policy has contributed to the increased rapidly in the number of abortion and there are reports show that forced abortions are uncommon nowadays. Therefore, those women who are from urban area in china show higher possibility to attain the permission to carry more than a child (illegal births and legal abortion – the case of china 2005). Besides, abortion is a legal practice in brazil if it is the only means to save the woman’s life or if the pregnancy is the result of rape. In the past five years, the number of hospitals providing care to women victims of sexual violence has increased from 4 to 63, of which 40 people are currently providing legal abortion (making legal abortion accessible in brazil 2002). Condition of an economic in certain country will give an impact to the statistic of abortion in a nation, such as during unemployment, inflation and deflation. While sometimes the parents will make a decision to take on an abortion, where there is a prospect in their career and they are unwilling to sacrifice the precious opportunity.

So, if the pregnant women are doing so, the health care provider can recommend programs, such as abortion, to help you quit and so the pregnant women and the baby will be better off (pregnancy and substance abuse 2007). In addition, if the relationship with partner or husband had broken up before or since pregnancy discovered it will as a result of why women have abortions (reasons why women have abortions 2002). If there is a problem in the relationship between pregnant women and the husband or partner and will lead to the pregnant women decides to abort the child because she does not want to be a single parent (abortion: pros and cons 1999). On the other hand, if in a family which the husband is contributing the main financial support, and once they have broke up or divorce, the pregnant women may think to abortion instead of carrying on which due to the pregnancy women will not be able to work for a certain period and so she will have no sufficient financial support during and after pregnancy time. Moreover, abortion may also cause by the husband or partner or the pregnant women are in jail or prison because violation of discipline, which this incident is force to terminate the baby and not abort with willingness. In the opinion of pro-life people, they believed ‘psychological harm’ is one of the effects of abortion. They argue that women will get horrible nightmares of their children after they have abortion, and they will regret and feel guilty about their decision. They physical effects from the abortion usually appear in the future, such as tubal pregnancy and sterility. People from the pro-life group have evidence that abortion can breast cancer and the worst physical effect is death, it’s recoded that 200 women have died from legal abortion since 1973 (abortion: pros and cons 1999). Those women who decide to take on an abortion, they must be willing to bear the effects after the abortion neither it is physiology nor psychological.
The worst physical effect is death, in record, there are 200 women have died from legal abortion since 1973 (abortion: pros and cons 1999). In addition, approximately 60 percent of women who experience of abortion follow-up a report with suicidal ideation, with 28 percent actually attempting suicide, of which half attempted suicide two or more times. Researchers in finland have identifies a strong statistical association between abortion and suicide in a records based study. They identified 73 suicides associated within one year to a pregnancy ending either naturally or by induced abortion. There is another case where too much blood run off during abortion may lead to both mother and the baby or either one death. There is a risk in performing abortion, and if the pregnant women decide to take the risk, and so she must keen to tolerate the implication which due to abortion. Pike, at university of southern california in 1981, he has demonstrated a direct association of induced abortion with breast cancer. While there is another view with risk of abortion, which in february 2003, the us national cancer institute (nci) held a workshop of more than 100 of the world’s leading experts who study pregnancy and breast cancer risk. The experts’ assessment existing human and animal studies on the relationship between pregnancy and breast cancer risk, including studies of induced and spontaneous abortions. Among their conclusion, breast cancer risk will increased after a term pregnancy, which is a pregnancy that results in the birth of living child or abort it (can having an abortion cause or contribute to breast cancer 2007).
Post abortion syndrome (pas) is a term that has been used to describe the emotional and psychological cost of abortion, in order to cope with the emotional pain that accompanies abortion; woman may develop a set of resistance mechanisms to defend their decision. Moreover, there may have several symptoms of pas, where some will occur immediately after an abortion and other may take months or even years to surface. One of it is strong feeling of guilty, which is a normal reaction that usually surface after the woman recognize that abortion is wrong and that she is responsible for committing her own abortion (physical and psychological complications of abortion 2002). In addition, where a new research from new zealand has confirmed that abortion substantially increases the risk for mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression in young women. According to david fergussen, psychology professor, had found a relative rate of mental health-related concerns, such as a tendency to suicide, and drug and alcohol abuse were all significantly increased in women with a past history of abortion (new research supports abortion-mental health risk claims 2007). Social will straightforwardly influence ones behavior, and there are some people who are arguing that abortion is morally wrong on the basis that a fetus is an innocent human being, however, there are still a group of people who are not agree with that (abortion debate 2007). If a society allows the people to carry out abortion legally, the peace in a nation will be affected, because the people will now become more cruel and unethical, which they will never feel any guilty after the doing any crime act, such as abortion, and so the society will be terror. Besides that, in the developing country, there may possibly arise an incident where the citizens are lack of information about the sexually intercourse, thus the people there are unaware regarding the cause and effect of abortion and casual sexual practice. Because of the ignorant, will confidence the public to carry out casual sexual relationship among the teenagers. Moreover, this will boost up in the of infection venereal disease due to violence in sexual activity, such as aids, which are common in these days (nine reasons why abortions should be illegal 2001).
Summary, issues arise in social, economic and health condition of pregnant women will cause an abortion activity taking place. Crime rate in a nation is slightly related to the abortion, because pregnancy result from rape will be an unwanted child, and the pregnant women will decide to abort it. Additionally, knowledgeable in a certain nation will affect the idea of abortion in the public, and rule and regulations of a country will give an impact to the people as well. However, tendency of economic will illustrate in the rate of the abortion rate, for example, during high unemployment rate, the abortion rate will go high as well, and it may due to the financial problem which will confront by the family later. Next, technology advancing in a country, will encourage the people to take on an abortion, because the risk of failure can be minimize, and so their concern. Abortion may take place where there is a matter arise either with husband or family member and it will influence the sensation of the pregnant women. Nonetheless, abortion could come along with the implication either mentally or physiology or both affection, such as feeling guilty and depression. Besides that, they will also be infected with breast cancer, or even death during or after the abortion. Subsequently, social will also be affected if the abortion carries out legally in a certain homeland. As a conclusion, abortion will surely lead to a bad tendency in society, so government should play their role, which control the abortion activities, ensure that, there is a good reason for abortion, and not the reason of feeling curious toward sexual intercourse.
Also, pregnant women should aware about the cause and effect of abortion and ensure that you and your partner are free from venereal disease, which mean that carry out the sex in a safe on_debate#ethical_on hurts women psychologically and emotionally 1999.
