So, what do you think? Is abortion always wrong? Or can it be a legitimate choice in certain situations? Let us know in the comments below.
What Is Abortion?
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by removing the fetus or embryo from the uterus before it can survive on its own. Abortion is a very personal decision that should be made with the help of a healthcare provider.
It is important to understand all of your options and be sure that you are making the best decision for yourself.
Abortion can be performed in a variety of ways, but most commonly it is done through surgical procedures. There are two types of surgical abortions: suction aspiration and dilation and evacuation (D&E). Suction aspiration is the most common type of abortion performed in the United States and can be done as early as four weeks into a pregnancy. Dilation and evacuation (D&E) are usually done between 13-24 weeks into a pregnancy. Medical abortions are also an option for terminating a pregnancy. Medical abortions are done using medication instead of surgery and can be used up to nine weeks into a pregnancy. The most common type of medical abortion is done using a combination of two drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol.
It is important to remember that abortion is a safe and legal medical procedure. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the risks associated with abortion are low. The most common side effects of abortion are mild cramping and bleeding. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks associated with abortion. These risks include infection, heavy bleeding, and damage to the cervix or uterus.
If you are considering an abortion, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider about all of your options. They can help you make the best decision for you based on your individual circumstances.
Facts About Abortion.
It’s no secret that abortion is a controversial topic. There are those who believe that it is a woman’s right to choose what happens to her body, and there are those who believe that abortion is murder. No matter what your personal beliefs are, it’s important to be informed about the issue before you make any decisions.
Here are some facts about abortion that you should know:

2. The vast majority of abortions (about 87%) are performed in the first trimester of pregnancy.
3. Abortion is a safe medical procedure. The risk of dying from abortion is less than 0.05%. That means that the risk of dying from childbirth is about 14 times higher than the risk of dying from an abortion.
4. Most women who have abortions do not regret their decision. In fact, a study published in the journal PLOS ONE found that 95% of women who had abortions felt that it was the right decision for them.
5. There are many different reasons why women choose to have abortions. Some women feel that they are not ready to be mothers, some want to avoid raising a child in poverty, and some have health concerns that make pregnancy unsafe for them.

Abortion is a common and safe medical procedure that can help women in a variety of different situations. If you or someone you know is considering an abortion, be sure to talk to a doctor or other medical professional to get more information about the risks and benefits.
What Does The Bible Say About Abortion?
The Bible does not specifically mention abortion, but it does speak about the sanctity of life. Some people believe that abortion is morally wrong because it ends a human life. Others believe that abortion is morally acceptable in certain circumstances, such as when the mother’s life is in danger. There is no one answer to this question, and people’s opinions on this topic vary widely.
In Psalm 139:13-16, David writes “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
God regards every life as precious and believes that each person is intricately designed by Him. Abortion takes away innocent life and is therefore considered murder by God. In Exodus 20:13, God says “You shall not murder.” This includes the taking of unborn life.
In addition, Psalm 106:37-38 says “They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to false gods. They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood. By such things they became unclean.” When we take the life of an unborn baby through abortion, we are sacrificing them to a false god; the god of convenience or personal comfort. This is something that God hates, and it results in His judgment on those who do it.
If you have had an abortion, there is forgiveness available through Jesus Christ. He died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, and His blood can cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If you have never received Jesus Christ as your Savior, I encourage you to do so today. He is the only One who can give you eternal life.
