1. Fetal Development begins with the sperm meeting the fertilized egg cell which is
called fertilization or conception. At the first 4 weeks, the fetus has begun to
develop several and separate areas which will be used to form the head, chest,
abdomen, and organs in them. On the 8th week, the fetus has obtained its facial
features. Then on the next, the hands are in form and are now recognizable. And
on so forth, the baby will continue to grow larger details and a significant
increase in size.

2. What are the different methods or types in performing abortion? First, medical
abortion, is performed through taking two medications in pill-form: mifepristone
and misoprostol. These two drugs work together to end a pregnancy. But, you
can only use this method until your 10 th week of pregnancy. You can use this
method until your 10th week of pregnancy.

A medical abortion isn’t for everyone. We also have vacuum aspiration. Vacuum
aspiration is done during the first trimester or early second trimester 12 to 16
weeks of pregnancy. It’s also called suction aspiration. Some people choose
vacuum aspiration as the main method for having an abortion. Others need it
after a medical abortion fails to end their pregnancy. Next, Dilation and
evacuation (D&E) is an abortion procedure that’s used in the second trimester,
usually trusted Source after the 14th week of pregnancy. It’s usually
recommended for someone who’s delayed getting an abortion, or for someone
who chooses to end a pregnancy because the fetus has a severe abnormality or
medical problem. Lastly, the induction abortion. It is done in the second
trimester of pregnancy. It may be an option if you’re past the 24th week of
pregnancy and can no longer get a D&E procedure.

There are a lot more to talk about, but all I want you to know is how we should
just use contraceptives instead of abortion. Have your family planning first. Stay
Safe.

3. A.
Here is one thing I know about these types of cases, most rape victims would
want to abort this baby. And they have the right to do so for the crime done to
them is a grave case.
B.
 Unwanted children should be brought to the children home instead of keeping
them at home and showing them no love.

C.
Everyone deserves to have a life. It does not matter what figure or flaws.
4. A.
As an individual who is a part of this society, I would like abortion to be
normalized because we have dilemmas which would be unfair to those who are
raped and have an unwanted child as a cause.
B.
I wouldn’t want to tolerate this kind of attitude for the abortion I believe in does
not pass this.
C.
There is no absolute freedom. Everything has its limits and boundaries. But this
kind of freedom is better than having none at all, and living a hard life is better
than not living at all. We all should have our rights granted and respected.

8. First, I would want to confront my physician for his reasons and laws he is
following. If he himself is promoting abortion for the convenience then I would
not allow myself in such an environment nor situation. I would want to make a
stand if possible, if not I can just do as I believe and not participate in such
procedure while being ethical.
