TITLE: PREVENTION OF ABORTION
INTRODUCTION
Many centrist and progressive politicians have come to speak a reasonably consistent
message regarding abortion during the last year. To disassociate themselves from the
misconception that “Pro-Choice” = “abortion on demand,” they have proposed a
“moderate” or “compromise” position: keep Roe v. Wade but endeavor to minimize the
number of abortions in every States. Reducing the annual number of abortions, which
currently stands at over 1 million, is a commendable aim. However, there are a variety
of approaches to achieving that aim, some of which will benefit women and others
which will not. Simply expressed, there are two main approaches to limit abortion: make
it less necessary or make it less accessible. Only the former method, in our opinion, is
humane, effective, and just.
Those who oppose abortion in all or most instances believe that making it illegal is the
greatest method to minimize the number of abortions. They believe that by making
abortion illegal, it will become extinct. They hold this belief despite overwhelming
evidence that women continue to obtain abortions in countries where they are illegal
and hazardous, sometimes resulting in tragic outcomes. Every year, about 70,000
women die as a result of improper abortions, and many more suffer serious ailments
such as infection, bleeding, and infertility. Women, their families, and entire
communities suffer as a result of this, but it does little to curb abortion.
Anti-abortion activists have yet to succeed in enacting a complete ban on abortion in the
United States. As a result, they have worked hard to make it as inaccessible as
possible. Anti-abortion activists have put safe and legal abortion out of reach for a
significant segment of our population, namely the young, the rural, and, most
importantly, the poor, by prohibiting public funding, increasing the cost with unnecessary
clinic regulations, reducing the number of available doctors and clinics, imposing waiting
periods, and mandating rigid parental involvement laws. As a result, many women who
have been denied Roe’s safeguards have either been forced to carry and bear children
against their will or have encountered enormous delays in obtaining an abortion, making
the process more expensive, hazardous, and emotionally and ethically hard. Although
making abortion illegal may lower the number of abortions, it does it in a brutal and
unpleasant manner.
The best strategy is to make abortion less necessary. The first step is to decrease the
number of unplanned pregnancies. In this country, half of all pregnancies are
unplanned, and half of those result in abortion. If we showed true commitment to: 1)
comprehensive sexuality education that includes medically accurate information about
abstinence and contraception; 2) insurance coverage and public funding for family
planning services; 3) greater access to emergency contraception (which prevents
pregnancy but does not cause abortion); and 4) programs that address domestic
violence and sexual abuse, we could significantly reduce unintended pregnancy.
Obviously, women who can avoid an unplanned pregnancy do not have to face the
tough option of whether or not to undergo an abortion.
Even with the above-mentioned resources, there will always be some unwanted
pregnancies; birth control devices, like humans, are flawed. As a result, if a woman
becomes pregnant unexpectedly, a second positive strategy to reduce abortion is to
guarantee that she has the resources to have and raise a child in a healthy and safe
environment if she so desires. One of the two most prevalent reasons women choose
abortion, according to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, is that they cannot afford a(nother)
kid. Many low-income and young women would have the resources they need to fulfill
the severe commitments that motherhood involves if they were provided with
meaningful education and employment possibilities, health care, child care, housing,
assistance for impaired children, and other fundamental supports.
Unfortunately, few of these policy goals are highlighted in today’s abortion-reduction
rhetoric. Instead, many centrist politicians have embraced the strategy of “splitting the
difference,” supporting some but not all of the limitations advocated by anti-abortion
campaigners, such as biased counseling, bans on public funding, and prohibitions on
certain abortion procedures. Even Democrats for Life’s 95-10 initiative, which claims to
have a plan to reduce abortions by 95% in ten years, provides only rudimentary support
for pregnant women (funding for domestic violence programs and university day care),
no provision for birth control, and only rudimentary allusions to pregnancy prevention
education.
These half-hearted attempts to reduce abortion are patently insufficient and appear to
represent a watered-down “Pro-Life” goal rather than a true moderate, much alone
progressive, objective.
Moderation for the sake of moderation and political compromise at the expense of
women’s well-being will not achieve the common aim of reducing abortion in the United
States. What is required is leadership and commitment to a vision of society in which all
women have access to the information and resources they need to avoid unintended
pregnancies, carry healthy pregnancies to term, raise their children in a safe, stable,
and dignified manner, and, yes, have safe abortions when necessary in order to live
healthy, productive, and fulfilling lives.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
This research is intended to know the Prevention of Abortion, Specifically, this
research sought to answer the following:
1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of:
1.1 Name
1.2 Gender
1.3 Age
1.4 Status
2. Which does Respondents preferred, Pro Life or Pro Choice?
3.Awareness of Respondents towards the issues regarding the abortion.
4. For the Respondents opinion, Does Abortion should be normalize?
5.For the perspective of the respondent’s, Why does some women risk their life just to
continue the abortion?
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Morality, according to consequentialialism, is all about achieving the proper sorts of
overall results. John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham’s utilitarianism is a well-known
example of consequentialism. In contrast, John Locke’s and Immanuel Kant’s
deontological views are nonconsequentialist. Consequentialism is a doctrine that states
that the outcome determines whether something is good or harmful. A good action is
one that has more benefits than drawbacks, whereas a bad action has more drawbacks
than benefits. Utilitarianism is the most well-known variant of this idea.
Consequentialism is an ethical theory that uses the outcomes of actions to determine
whether or not they are right. Most individuals, for example, would agree that lying is
unethical. Utilitarianism and hedonism are two examples of consequentialism.

HYPHOTESIS
The following are the hypothesis of the study.
HO1: The Respondents are aware of abortion.
HO2: The Respondents encountered people who’s dealing and choosing abortion.
HO3: The Study was believed to point out the problems abortion.
HO4: The respondents are aware with the issue.
HO5: The study will serve as an eye opener for Everyone about the problem regarding
to the abortion.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The study benefits the following:
Government—As a result, the government's proper responsibility is to lower the cost of
risk-bearing for all initiatives Investors play a critical role in a company's and a project's
success and growth. As a result, it's critical for businesses to establish strong,
transparent relationships with their investors. This is where a company's investor
relations department comes into play by establishing a stable and effective legislative
framework. As a result, governments should refrain from participating in projects or
businesses, whether with equity or debt. Commercial risks should not be covered.
Because of the following sources, the government has funds for preservation. State and
local budgets are supported through taxes, federal grants, fees, licenses, and lotteries.
The majority of individuals have a better understanding of where their state and local
taxes and levies go than they do of federal spending. Perhaps this is because state and
municipal services have a greater impact on their personal life.this will help them to
understand the both sides.
School; for them to know the problems of students regarding the new learning system.
Advocate group and NGO's- Advocacy is used by non-governmental organizations
and advocacy groups to influence public opinion and, eventually, policy. Lobbying,
media campaigns, awareness-raising the reasons of establishing the parent child gaps.,
research, and policy briefings are all used by groups to try to achieve their goals.
Environmental, social, advocacy, and human rights work are only a few examples of
NGO activities. They can work on a large scale or very locally to promote social or
political change. NGOs are vital to the development of society, the improvement of
communities, and the promotion of citizen participation.
Local Communities—Local communities play a critical role in fixing this problem. They
are seen as respectable and moral participants in the community it self. The local
community must be included in policy and decision-making in order to increase local
people's trust and confidence towards this project.
Researchers: This study benefits us researchers Studies the Prevention of Abortion.
Future Researchers: This serves as guide in making their related research.

interviewed remotely via Zoom, and the Questionnaire form will be emailed to them
individually following the interview. Respondents were also acquired by the
researchers. Video chat will be used to interview these people. The researchers chose
this location for implementation because it will provide them with information on the
chosen topic for people who are affected by the this problem. This will take place in
the first semester of the 2021-2022 school year. This research mainly focuses on The
concept of necessity is a legal theory that extraconstitutional activities by administrative
authorities, such as those taken to restore order or gain power under the guise of
stability, are determined to be constitutional, even if they would ordinarily be deemed
unconstitutional. Prevention of Abortion In this research, this mainly perceive the
perspective of the responders for the Prevention of Abortion.
Respondents of this study are the people that is mostly in involve in this teens.
The researchers decided to particularize the respondents with a limited total of
respondents due to the pandemic that still infesting right now . This was chosen by
the researchers because of they are involved mostly involved in Prevention of
Abortion and they are the one that can give opinion regarding to Prevention of
Abortion.
REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE
Virtue theory and abortion
The Aristotelian ethical theory known as virtue ethics, virtue-based ethics, or neo-
Aristotelianism is becoming more well-known, and is now widely regarded as a viable
alternative to deontological and utilitarian views. With recognition has come varied
degrees of criticism. In this essay, I’ll go over nine different criticisms that I’ve come
across, the majority of which appear to me to show a lack of understanding of either the
structure of virtue theory or what it would take to think about a real moral dilemma in its
terms. In the first section, I want to acquire an understanding that will indicate that many
of these criticisms are simply misplaced, as well as describe what I believe to be virtue
theory’s primary flaw. I disagree with this criticism, although I don’t think it’s entirely
unfounded. In the second half, I’ll illustrate how the theory looks when applied to a
specific subject, in this example, abortion, in order to deepen that understanding and
highlight the issues brought by the objections.

Trying to prevent abortion
Women dealing with an unwanted pregnancy have utilized abortion as a manner of
resolving their issue since antiquity. Abortion has come to be considered as an
occurrence that should be avoided because of the impact on the women involved as
well as considerations for fetal life, despite the fact that it has been commonly utilized
throughout history. Certain observations must be acknowledged in policies aimed at
reducing the number and rate of abortions. Criminalization of abortion does not prevent
it, but it does increase maternal dangers. The ‘openness’ with which a society discusses
sexual issues is inversely related to abortion rates. The relationship between
contraceptive use and abortion is likewise inverse, although it is more strongly related to
the effectiveness of the contraceptive techniques utilized. Abortion rates will be affected
similarly by a “revolution” in the spectrum of contraceptive options available. Secondary
or emergency contraception methods have an important role in reducing the number of
abortions. Good sex (and’relationships’) education programs have been linked to a
delay in sexual debut, increased contraceptive use, and a reduction in abortion. Finally,
the relationship between socioeconomic variables and the decision to abort or continue
a pregnancy is complicated. Abortion is not always chosen by those who are financially
unable to sustain a child.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH DESIGN
The study used Descriptive research design to have the reliable and legitimate
interpretation that uses questionnaire in gathering information’s. According to Chona Mc
combos(2019) Descriptive research aims to accurately and systematically describe a
population, situation or phenomenon. It can answer what, when, where, when and how
questions. A descriptive research design can use a wide variety of quantitative and
qualitative methods to investigate one or more variables. Moreover, this research
design is used to provide more accurate information’s and it justify the current practice
and make critiques.
Besides, according also to mc combes (2020)Descriptive research is an appropriate
choice when the research aim is to identify characteristics, frequencies, trends,
correlations, and categories. It is also useful when not much is known yet about the
topic or problem. Before you can research why something happens, you need to
understand how, when and where it happens. According also to question pro.com,
descriptive research design allows the researchers to provide insights into the why and
how of the research. This research design can be a very effective research framework
to identify the effects of Imprisonment to the offender.
