New Abortion Laws in Texas

Extract

[...] The lack of access to abortion care creates unseen impacts on the well-being of many female citizens in Texas. Tanne &Hopkins (Para 14) claim that women denied abortion have higher chances of being jobless and having a household income below poverty level. Such women have reported an escalating likelihood that they lack necessities like housing, food, and transportation and may persevere in remaining in contact with abusive spouses, exposing themselves and their children to an increased risk of danger. Soon, a significant number of women in Texas will depend on government-funded services because of homelessness, unplanned visits to emergency rooms, abandonment, loss of jobs, physical and emotional abuse, and other challenges associated with the enforcement of Senate Bill 8 ("Texas Abortion Ban Takes Effect, Ending Almost All Abortion Care In The State Center For Reproductive Rights, para.11). There is also a concern that most women are unaware of their pregnancies by the end of the sixth week, the cut for abortion. [...]

[...] Abortion laws have several cons in Texas. For example, abortion is at times costly than the procedures carried out on gestational ages. Consequently, delays in accessing medical care may pose risky obstacles in getting any medical care for the less fortunate. When women are denied the right to abortion care and are forced to wait until they give birth, their future mental, emotional, and physical health suffers. Additionally, relatives and communities are negatively affected. Victims are scared and confused, and Planned Parenthood health institutions receive frequent calls from frustrated people wondering what to do and where to get health care. [...]

[...] The house retained that it is from the fifth week and sixth day that the fetal heartbeat becomes detectable, which predicts that the unborn will survive until it reaches the live birth. However, some citizens opposed the idea of the unborn heartbeat and claimed that most women are usually not aware they are pregnant at this early stage of pregnancy. The abortion option should be granted to Americans in Texas because it has complications and infection rates than delivering babies. Thompson et al. (Page.3) retain that those viral diseases can trigger death and subsequent life-long impacts on the mother. [...]

[...] Also,5.2% experiences hemorrhage, gestational diabetes, and hyperemesis. Others go through nausea and frequent vomiting that is fatal. None of these risks is associated with abortion in both the short term and long term (Thompson et al., page.6) Again, pregnancy and child delivery comprise lifelong physical and mental health problems compared to abortion. About 94% of women lament postpartum problems like urinary stress incontinence, urinary frequency, backache, fecal incontinence, hemorrhoids, anxiety and depression, migraine, frequent headaches, extreme tiredness, and perineal pain and increased sweating, constipation, hot flashes, and dizziness (Thompson et al., page.6) Women who undergo cesarean section experiences other health risks like intestinal obstruction, development of adhesions, bladder injuries in the subsequent abdominal surgeries, and placenta previa in future pregnancies.
