Abortion

For many people having a medical abortion at home is much like having what is commonly called a miscarriage. The remains are flushed down the toilet. Most medical abortions happen in the first 9 weeks. There is no obligation to dispose of the remains in any particular way. Many who oppose abortion object to terms like "remains" saying it is the same way they get rid of a child's dead pet fish. Some dispose of the remains the way they normally dispose of sanitary waste. Just as the number of medical abortions is increasing each year, currently at 65%, the number of self managed abortions is increasing currently at seven percent. Self-managed abortion, also referred to as self-induced, self-sourced, self-administered, self-care, or, colloquially, “DIY” abortion, can be defined as any action a person takes to end a pregnancy without clinical supervision or support Today most people are accepting of medical abortions because 85% of the time the cause is that the woman is either financially or emotionally unable to deal with a baby. In time the reasons for abortions will expand. In many places that is already happening with Down's babies being aborted and in England where 90% of Down's babies are aborted. Other areas of concern are gender based. There are seven states where sex selective abortions are allowed and most of the time the male is selected. As medical knowledge of fetal development expands will this lead to more abortions even to the extremes of eye color and height or down the path of what are called designer babies.
