  7. Current Legal Status • Roe v. Wade (1973) • Webster v. Reproductive Health Services (1989) • Planned Parenthood of SE PA v. Casey (1992)

  8. The Pro-Life Position • Believes that a fertilized egg is a human being from the moment of conception and therefore, that abortion is murder • Argues the moral obligation to an unplanned pregnancy • Recommends adoption for women unable or unwilling to raise a child • Holds that abortion has a destructive effect on our traditional values and morals

  9. The Pro-Choice Position • Argues that there are distinct stages of fetal development and that preserving the fetus early in pregnancy is not the ultimate moral concern • Says that women should make their own decisions about the outcome of pregnancies • Suggests that if abortions were not legal, women would again resort to unsafe methods • Predicts that only women with financial resources would be able to travel for legal abortions • Believes that some physicians would have to break the law to act on their convictions

  10. Methods of Abortion • Suction curettage (vacuum aspiration) • Manual vacuum aspiration • Dilation and evacuation (D & E)

  11. Complications of Abortion • Possible physical effects • Negative physical effects are reduced with good patient health, early timing, use of the suction method and local anesthetic, a trained clinician to perform the procedure, and proper follow-up care. • Possible psychological effects • Responses vary, but studies have not shown any positive or negative long-term impact on mental health.
