Roe v.s Wade Summary

The Case

  Known all around the world, the case that would forever change the hearts, minds, laws, and lives of an entire country, the court case of Roe vs Wade made illegal abortions legal in January of 1973. Abortions had been illegal since the 1800s due to insufficient medical knowledge and the procedure often was just as dangerous if not more than delivering the child. Change came just under two hundred years later in the form of a woman with an unplanned pregnancy and a legal team with an agenda to legalize abortion. 
  
  Norma McCorvey, more commonly known by her alias as Jane Roe, was 21 and pregnant with a third child when she decided to have an illegal abortion. Unfortunately for her at the time the Texas clinic she tried to obtain her abortion from was shut down. Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee two female lawyers who had been waiting for a chance to change the laws on abortion had finally found their chance when they became in touch with McCorvey. After McCorvey decided to remain anonymous the case began. McCorvey later went on to say: “Plain and simple, I was used. I was a nobody to them. They only needed a pregnant woman to use for their case, and that is it. They cared, not about me, but only about legalizing abortion. Even after the case, I was never respected — probably because I was not an ivy-league educated, liberal feminist like they were.” The length of the case lasted from 1970 to 1973 when the Supreme Court ruled that women had the right to abortion, but guidelines were put in place for after the second trimester and gave states abilities to not allow abortion in the third trimester.

Where is Roe now?

After becoming catholic in 1995, Norma McCorvey, now at age 65 is a strong advocate to reverse the outcome of the Roe vs Wade case with her ministry 'Roe No More'. In a 1994 interview she commented her true feelings for the woman who supposedly had fought for her rights, “Sarah sat right across the table from me at Columbo’s pizza parlor, and I didn’t know [then] that she had had an abortion herself,” she said. “When I told her then how desperately I needed one, she could have told me where to go for it. But she wouldn't because she needed me to be pregnant for her case. I set Sarah Weddington up on a pedestal like a rose petal. But when it came to my turn, well, Sarah saw these cuts on my wrists, my swollen eyes from crying, the miserable person sitting across from her, and she knew she had a patsy. She knew I wouldn't go outside of the realm of her and Linda. I was too scared. It was one of the most hideous times of my life.” To support her new stance she also has also made it publicly known that she had never even had an abortion. McCorvey has also stated multiple times that the case was one of the biggest mistakes of her life.

Physical Risks Of Abortion

Before you continue please read my "First things first, what is abortion?" post where I explain in detail about each type of abortion to provide a better understanding of the following.
Now, just like every medical procedure there are risks, mental and physical; and todays topic is of physical risks associated with each type of abortion.

Most Common Physical Risks Associated With Abortion

Medical Abortion

Medical abortion or the abortion pill, often causes severe pain and sometimes opiates are prescribed to relieve pain. Another very common physical side affect is uterine bleeding, women often must wear a pad or liner for sometimes up to six weeks due to the amount of blood flow. Allergic reactions may also occur.

Suction Aspiration Abortion

Though a local anesthetic is used some woman do experience pain during the procedure, the pain has been compared to the same pain intensity as a bone fracture. Bleeding is also a result due to the use of the curette that scrapes the inside of the uterus for any left over body parts of the fetus. Infertility is common in cases where the curette is overused or used to roughly thus scarring the uterus. 

Salt Poisoning (Saline Abortion)

After the injection a woman may develop a condition known as consumption coagulopathy, where she may experience blood clotting all over her body. In the event that the solution enters the blood stream, seizure, coma, or death could also be a possible result.

Prostaglandin Abortion

Due to the violent nature of this method cervical trauma is common. Infection is also possible along with hemorrhage caused by severe contraction of the muscles.

Now, you may have noticed the descriptions were very short but, that is because I tried to only state the risks without getting into the actual procedure which I have already posted here. 

Also, please remember my goal here is not to scare anyone. These types of things can be scary, but I am only trying to provide a resource.        

Thank you for reading!

First things first, what is abortion?

Now, what is abortion?

A word that is either said with pride, regret or even anger. A touchy word for a lot of people but, a word to be shouted for others. But what is the definition of the word abortion? That is what I am here to tell you but, also of the procedure that is done to provide the abortion, due to the fact there is no abortion without the procedure, correct? We will start with the definition, taken from different sources on the internet and hand held dictionaries. 

The definition. 

From Dictionary.com:

a·bor·tion

  

noun

1.

Also called voluntary abortion. the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy.

2.

any of various surgical methods for terminating a pregnancy, especially during the first six months.

3.

Also called spontaneous abortion. miscarriage.

4.

an immature and nonviable fetus.

5.

abortus

Websters dictionary states the definition of abortion as follows: 
1. the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus: as
A. spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus during the first 12 weeks of gestation
B. induced expulsion of a human fetus
C. expulsion of a fetus by a domestic animal often due to infection at any time before completion of pregnancy
2. monstrosity
3. arrest of development (as of a part or process) resulting in imperfection; also : a result of such arrest

Now What Is The Procedure of Abortion?

There are several procedures of abortions, most depend on the term the pregnancy is in at the time. All result in the removal of the fetus, and ultimately its death. 

Medical Abortion

Usually done in the early stages of pregnancy, medical abortion is the use of medications also known as the abortion pill, to terminate a pregnancy. The pills work by blocking the hormone progesterone, which in doing so causes the lining in the uterus to break down, thus rendering the uterus incapable of continuing the pregnancy. Often times more than one pill is required to stop the pregnancy. The next medication required in a medical abortion is misoprostol. This medication is placed inside the vagina and causes the womb to contract, causing cramping and bleeding such as in a miscarriage. A second doctor appointment is often recommended to make sure the pregnancy has ended. Serious birth defects can follow a insufficient medical abortion, so in the event of a failure a surgical abortion would then be recommended.

Suction Aspiration Abortion

Common in the first trimester, suction aspiration is a procedure that a plastic tube is inserted inside a woman's uterus. The tube is connected to a vacuum pump that is about 30 times more powerful than your household vacuum cleaner. In some cases once the tube is in place, if the fetus is small enough it can be dislodged from the uterus and sucked up all in one piece from the womb. In other cases, forceps are inserted along with the tube to dislodge the baby and tear it into pieces for easier suction. A curette, which is a hook shaped knife, is then used to scrape the uterus for any remaining parts of the fetus. 

Salt Poisoning (Saline Abortion) 

This method of abortion is used after the 16th week of pregnancy (there has been cases as late as 7 months), where a saline injection is introduced into a woman's womb to kill the unborn baby. The saline is taken in by the fetus and burns them from the inside out. The fetus is usually dead within an hour, and is then given birth to within 24 hours.  

Prostaglandin Chemical Abortion 

A series of chemicals are injected into the womb, and prostaglandin in inserted into the vagina to create intense and violent contractions with the goal of crushing the unborn child, and sometimes even decapitating it. This often involves pain for the woman, and is not a preferred method among women and abortionists alike. 

Other Practices of Abortion Procedures

Often times if a baby is born still alive even after attempts to abort it, the abortionist either throws the baby away, suffocates or cuts the child to finish the abortion. 

Now that I have provided you a factual description of abortion, please take a look at "Physical Risks of Abortion".
