abortion

I want to bring in a philosophical analogy titled The Violinist, Created by Judith Jarvis Thomson. This analogy is structured around priorisising bodily autonomy. Imagine you wake up hooked to a macheine that is activley feeding your body foods to a famous violinst. If you do not stay hooked to this person they will die, but you are hooked to them for 9 months. This relates to the topic of abortion because in this instance, the mother is hooked up to the fetus and activley feeding the fetus her fluids etc. The average women is pregeant for nine months, in which she would be giving her body recourses to a fetus that will not feel the pain at all. The mental ad physical stress during and after pregnancy are a lot more significant then removing a fetus from the womb.

Abortion can cause both mental and physical stress on the person that's facing it. Research from Harvard shows that 27% of the women who abort their chiildren face the mental stress of wondering what would have happen to their child if they were alive. A case study from a hospital in Sydney also showed that by doing an abortion, a women's vaginal area weakens, making 15% of them incapable of having children again. This psychological and physical pressure can cause early death, mistrust, and even divorce or breakups within couples, making it a choice that affects not only the person going through this proceduure, but also their close friends and family.
