Article 1: The Failed Promises of Abortion
http://www.truthusa.org/articles/life/failedpromises.htm
My reflection:
These articles talks about what abortion promise for all the women who will practice it. Abortion was a crime that suddenly was turned into a constitutional right approved by the Supreme Court. The article reflects what we were promised by abortion rightsadvocates and what we have gained.
Another thing the article shows is that the community has not gained any progress with abortion, explains why the abortion is a bad idea, no matter what is the caused you are going to practice it; including that the reason for what you are doing it is a right.
I think this is a very good article, because it shows women that abortion is a bad decision no matter thereason they decide to make it. Another thing I like about the article is that it reflects that abortion has certainly not proved any solution or progress in society. Besides abortion is said that is disproportionately act of the poorest and most vulnerable women among us, because half of all women having abortions have had more than one.
All this shows the lack of responsibility in the societywe are living, not only in pregnancy but in all the issues that a men and women have.

Article 2: Incomplete Abortion on British Woman Leaves Baby’s Head Inside Her http://www.lifenews.com/2004/08/17/nat-729/
My reflection:
These article talks about the terrible story of a British woman, Davina Chambers, had an abortion and later discovered that her unborn child’s headhad been left inside her. A mistake that could ever have taken her life.
She was undergoing a treatment for Autoimmune Hepatitis. During her visits to the doctor Davina found out that she was 12 weeks pregnant. Concerned about the health risk of the treatment she decided to have an abortion. Following it, she had been ultra-scanned three times and was told everything was fine. That night shewent to the bathroom and felt like if she had given birth, she looked down the toilet and saw a lump that turned out to be the child’s head. Davina went to the hospital, and she was informed that if she hadn´t release the baby’s head she would have died.
I like this article because it reflects that abortions are not safe, also it shows the negligence and ignorance in hospitals and doctors whopractice the abortions.
The mistake of the doctors and of the woman could have taken her life away. If she would have made the abortion maybe she would not had been in so much risk. Not only the woman was in danger, the doctors and nurses who helped in the abortion put their jobs in danger.

Article 3: Past Abortions Come Back to Haunt Womenhttp://www.truthusa.org/articles/life/pastabortions.htm
My reflection:
The article is about a woman named Wanda Allen, who had an abortion at the age of 19 and now regrets her decision. She hid that from her family, because she didn’t want to embarrass them, especially her father.
Later she went to Center for Pregnancy Choices of Meridian, a nonprofit organization, that encourages women facing unplanned pregnancies and guide themto choose a good decision. Also helps women who practice abortion to heal their own pain. There she was helped and now she gives advices to women about abortion.
I really liked these articles because it talks about a women who took in rush the bad decision, only because of what the people will think about her. I think that women should stop carrying about what other may think and judges, and caremore about the child.
Other thing is that women can find refuge in those centers, where people go and talk about their experiences and testimonies about abortion, also counseling. That may help as an inspiration to those women who are about to take a bad decision.
As the article says, people who practice the abortion are not okay with themselves and always regret about having it, and the idea...
