For this research project I want to place emphasis on the scientific and social perspective of abortion, rather than what is most common. That being the religious perspective which it holds. Often people say that for religious reasons those being that the mother will be going to “hell” for having an abortion. This arguments seems to disregard that there is a very high probability that the mother of said fetus is having an abortions for any other reason besides not wanting it which is the common argument in the religious perspective. They seem to disregard that the mother might have been sexually assaulted, has no resources to raise the fetus or they might have any medical reasons which make it nearly impossible that the mother will survive labor. This argument is something which at times is disregarded, they seem to be more concerned about the well being of the fetus as it is in the womb rather than attempting to fix some of the sociological reasons why the mother might not feel as comfortable bringing a baby into the world. There are also claims that they can give the baby up for adoption after birth, but it is disregarded that often the children placed in the foster care system are abused and very neglected. The foster care system is over saturated and not a place where a child should grow up in, unless as a society we are willing to put more funds into it.
