Abortion

Health care ethics state rules and regulations that healthcare personnel should follow

when attending to patients. Moreover, it is essential in enabling physicians to navigate and find

possible solutions to health care dilemmas such as abortion, PAS (patient assisted suicide), and

euthanasia(Haddad & Geiger, 2021). Abortion is one of the widely debated moral issues in health

care is often depicted as an ethical dilemma. Ethical dilemmas are defined as situations where

individuals have only one option but are forced to choose between options that are of equal moral

measure. For example, when a pregnant mother's life is at risk, and the only available solution is

to conduct an abortion to save her, the doctors are often tied between saving the mother or killing

the baby. Medically abortions are defined as the termination of pregnancy with the help of a

licensed physician. Some arguments supported by ethics and morality have arisen to support and

condemn abortion.

First, to condemn abortion, it is argued that it is a form of murder as it takes away

innocent lives. Moreover, it goes against the law that protects the sanctity of life. Second,

abortions often lead to complications such as excessive bleeding, pelvic inflammatory diseases,

and barrenness, which makes the mother's life more miserable. Third, abortion can cause pain,

psychological trauma, and stress to the patient. The pain and guilt experienced by the women

after abortions may lead to emotional breakdowns that, over time, accumulate and lead to anxiety

and depression. Fourth, abortions are common among teenage girls and young women who have

little or no life experience to guide their decisions. Such decisions are often points of regret in

life. Finally, it is against human rights to harm innocent life; the fetus is often harmless and

suffers the consequences of poor decisions made by the mother. Therefore killing them would be

unjust (Grimes, 2015).
