Articles On Abortion

Articles on abortion are rarely objective. Sometimes this is the nature of the article and other times, the article may simply be misinformed or poorly written. This is particularly true with online websites, which are not heavily edited and may be riddled with biases. A simple tweak in the diction can influence the way a person responds to something to be taken as truth with a very false perception. Here are a few common misconceptions or misused facts.

Using the wrong terminology to refer to the changes of a woman's egg over the early development of a pregnancy has the potential to change the way a woman may feel about an abortion. After intercourse, a woman's egg may be fertilized within her fallopian tube, forming a single cell called a zygote. This cell will begin to divide as it travels toward the uterus and is called an embryo. As it divides even more, the cell cluster is called a blastocyst. It's not until five weeks into the pregnancy that a child begins to develop during what is called the embryonic period.

Other oft-confused abortion-related topics is the emergency contraceptives called morning-after pills. These are not abortion pills. In fact, for most of the brands of morning-after pills they won't affect a pregnancy.

Anyone can find the information he or she is looking for or wanting to hear. However, it does take some common sense to find information that will help you make an informed decision or argument.
