If you are going through abortion process, it clearly indicates that your pregnancy is unwanted
. It is the most difficult time in a mother's life physically and emotionally. It is the time when she has to take decision against her morals. It is the time when she has to kill and bury the sympathy and love for her child in the depth of her heart. It is the time when a moral debate in her and shivers her senses and she loses the confidence that keeps her standing against all odds in life.
When someone asks, 'Do abortions hurt?' the moral dilemma grows and confusion is created. What does the term 'hurt' mean? You can measure the bodily pain and decide how much painful this experience is and how much time one will take to recover from it. But can anybody tell how deep the wound is in one's heart. Can this wound ever be filled or not. It is a difficult question. We still have no medicines to cure the endless cry of a wounded heart.
Abortion statistics 2011 show that every year nearly 1.2 million cases of abortions are reported in US. The worldwide number of legal abortions being performed is about 20 to 30 million. The number of unreported and illegal abortions may be twice or thrice of this number. Most of the illegal abortions occur in undeveloped and third world countries.
Abortion statistics 2011 also indicate that most of the abortions take place among unmarried women. The main reason behind these abortions is the ignorance about safe sexual practices among them. Adolescents are generally poorly informed about this subject due to the negligence of people on it.
'Do abortions hurt?' is still one of the biggest questions among the women going for this process. However medical technology has passed through a long history of growth and development and has invented many techniques to alleviate the pain of women going through this process. It is now possible to abort a child and go back to home within few hours after abortion. However to recover the trauma and start a normal life again, some precautions should be taken. During the process of abortion the use of anesthesia and sedatives help the women to bear the pain. These medications make her unconscious during the process and she doesn't feel or remember anything after the abortion. Sedatives make the area under operation numb and hence reduce the pain of abortion.
