Abstract

There has been a high rise in preteen and teen pregnancy; they have no ability to take care of these babies or themselves. In the second trimester of pregnancy the fetus has turned into a baby, so therefore performing an abortion in the second trimester is considered murder. A second trimester abortion can be costly. In the second trimester the baby has begun to develop fingers, toes, ears, and eyes. By the end of the second trimester the fetus has grown into a fully developed baby. Although abortion maybe safe during the first and second trimester of pregnancy but with the fetus being fully developed in the second trimester this could cause some questioning is this murder.

Most women who do seek abortions only seek them because there may be some fetal or

maternal health reasons that may not show up until the second trimester of pregnancy and then

the abortion is performed after seeking medical directions. There are many genetic and health

reasons in the fetus that is not found until the woman is twelve weeks.

There is an uneven geographic count of women having second trimester abortions in the united

states, with the data being limited that tells us that the majority of women do not have the ability
