Should Women Be Required to Become Educated on Abortion Before Doing It?
Question by Rain: Should women be required to become educated on abortion before doing it?
Our country has a redicules rate of abortion and in my opinion i thnk the US should do more to educate on abortion in order to decrease the high rates among young girls and adults.So do you think women should be required to become educated on abortion for instance (watchinga video of a live abortion to show what they will be doing to their babies and showing the fetus afterwards and how they”incinerate” the bodies.Also should they give information on the number of women and names of some that has lossed there lives due to abortion procedure because i saw on a site some names of women who died from the procedure and they give a story and actual coriner report of how they died the symptoms they complained of before death etc. I believe if our country is going 2 allow us 2 murder our babies or what some call”cells/tissue” can they atleast educate I just want to know what you all think about this question so please be as honest as possible & PLEase give facts to why if you agree or disagree THNKs=)

I’ll give facts if you will–and so far, you haven’t. First of all, about 90% of abortions are performed in the first trimester. At the END of that trimester, the fetus is about 2 1/2 inches long and weighs an ounce or two. This is hardly a “body” to be “incinerated.”
What these girls need is information on birth control, because if you want to “educate” them on abortion, then you also need to educate them on pregnancy and childbirth, plus child care, since apparently you want them all to carry these babies to term. BTW, who’s paying for all this? Have you adopted any crack-addicted or minority babies lately? Do you want to pay to raise and educate all these children? Do you support any child abuse organizations, because these unwanted kids probably aren’t going to be treated too well.
Educate yourself, because you can’t even write. What makes you think you know anything? You’re obviously barely literate and don’t know what you’re talking about.

I think that education is absolutely essential. However I think you have the wrong idea. I don’t think that showing them videos of abortions would be a good idea – these women are already in a fragile emotional state and I do not see how this would benefit anyone.
As far as the women who died – there are always a few people who died from everything that’s ever been invented. Sorry to sound cold but it’s true. After the first dozen people were killed in car accidents should they have banned motorised vehicles as they’re too dangerous and just stuck with the good old horse? Oh hang on, they’ve killed lots of people too…
Abortions take careful consideration. I think women need councelling and unbias guidance to come to the right decision for them.
I’m assuming ‘your country’ is America? (i’m in Australia)
I do understand where you’re coming from, and personally I would NEVER have an abortion myself. However I do not think that anyone has the right to tell someone else that she can’t have an abortion. Different people have different thresholds for things, pain, workload, emotional stress, etc. And what about those women who are raped and fall pregnant?
Ultimately it should come down to the woman’s personal choice after being given accurate and unbias information and weighing up the pros and cons. It’s no one else’s business.

I have volunteered at a crisis pregnancy center for over 10 years.
I give pregnancy tests (thousands of them by now) and provide education/advice/referrals to women on topics ranging from birth control to STDs to abortion to adoption to child care. We also provide free diapers, formula and baby food, and clothing for moms and babies.
Abortion (reproductive rights, as it’s often called) is a volatile, emotional topic. Few people can talk about it calmly and rationally. However, right now abortion is legal in the United States, and likely to remain so. Therefore if a woman wants an abortion, it is her decision.
The crisis pregnancy center I work at has a goal of helping women realize that abortion can be a hastily-arrived-at decision with traumatic consequences. Many women who have an abortion are in a panicked, fight-or-flight state and it’s their first, visceral, immediate response to a positive pregnancy test.
We provide education on the types of abortion, videos and models of embryonic and fetal development, and referrals to agencies that give free ultrasounds.
I think it is vitally important that before ANY medical procedure, whether it’s an abortion or a tooth extraction, an appendectomy or a breast implant, that the patient be fully educated about what’s going to happen to her body. If you’re having a tumor removed, a competent physician will show you x-ray, MRI, or PET scan images of the tumor. If you are having an embryo or fetus removed, the same should apply.
My agency does post-abortion counseling. In 10+ years, I have never talked to a woman who said, “I am SO glad I got that abortion. It would have ruined my life to have that baby.” I have talked to hundreds of women who, as a result of abortion, had guilt, anger, remorse, regret, nightmares, depression, drug and alcohol abuse, and suicidal feelings. These feelings can emerge days or even years later.
The fact that so many women have these feelings means (in my own opinion) that more education (neutral, factual, supportive education) might have helped some of these women make decisions that would not cause them such negative feelings.
At my agency, we love and support all women regardless of what decision they make when they’re pregnant. We are all human, and we are all in this world together, and no one can judge what another woman will do when she’s in crisis. No one is perfect, and judging someone else will not make you perfect.
Bottom line? Yes, education is needed, but of the non-propaganda type: this is what the embryo/fetus looks like and can do at this stage; this is exactly how the abortion will be performed; these are the possible physical and emotional side effects; this is how the embryo/fetus will be disposed of. The goal of this should NOT be to get women to change their minds; it should be to encourage them to make a levelheaded, educated decision that they will not regret later.
