Many healthy women voluntarily go to an abortion, because, for whatever reason, they are not yet ready to raise a child. But, unfortunately, there are forced abortions. When a pregnant woman faces serious health problems, to save her life, as well as to prevent the birth of a sick child, she is recommended to make an abortion due to medical conditions.
Abortion for honey indications is allowed at any time of pregnancy, if for him there are indications provided for by law. In the early stages (up to 6 weeks), a woman is given a sparing drug-induced interruption or mini-abortion with a vacuum; up to 3 months, she has to undergo a procedure of surgical curettage, and in later terms, abortion more likely resembles artificial birth.
Indications for forced abortion
There are two large groups of indications for interrupting pregnancy according to honey indications:
- Diseases of the mother, which due to pregnancy and childbirth pose a threat to the life of a woman, significantly worsen her health, require urgent treatment incompatible with the state of pregnancy.
- Identified in the course of perinatal research, developmental fetal malformations, incompatible with life or leading to disability.
We list the following diseases:
- oncology, especially hormone-dependent, requiring the use of chemotherapeutic and radiotherapy;
- rubella and tuberculosis;
- severe violations of the endocrine system (diabetes mellitus in decompensated form, prolactinoma and others);
- certain diseases of the hematopoietic system;
- neurological disorders (epileptic seizures and others);
- severe heart defects, cardiac and circulatory disorders;
- severe diseases of other organs and systems.
On the part of the fetus, the following are the reasons to interrupt pregnancy:
- chromosomal abnormalities;
- severe genetic diseases;
- developmental anomalies.
The decision about the forced interruption
It should be noted that the woman herself has the right to decide the fate of her pregnancy. No one should force her to abortion. The diagnosis of pregnancy, as well as the pathology of the fetus should be confirmed by numerous analyzes and authoritative consultation of doctors.
The recommendation on termination of pregnancy is issued to a woman taking into account the opinion of the treating gynecologist, specialist in the field of the disease (oncologist, endocrinologist, cardiologist, etc.) and the chief doctor of the gynecological hospital. If the verdict of doctors is not in doubt, it is more reasonable for a woman to agree with their arguments, so as not to endanger not only their health, but, perhaps, life itself.
Interruption by medical indication is not always a life sentence. It is likely that after treatment, relief of acute processes in the body, a new pregnancy will be possible and safely end with childbirth.
Abortion by social indications
A few words need to be said about the abortion of pregnancy on so-called social indications. Until 12 weeks, any woman at will can freely stop the pregnancy. But when 3 months passed from the beginning of conception, it is no longer possible to have an abortion without medical or social indications.
The list of social indicators is clearly indicated in the law and is limited to only 4 points:
- If pregnancy occurs as a result of rape.
- Deprivation of a woman's parental rights in court.
- Finding a pregnant woman in places "not so remote".
- If during pregnancy the woman remained a widow.
The permission to conduct such an abortion is issued by the medical council on the basis of documents confirming the difficult social situation.
