What is abortion? Is it killing babies? Is it saving lives? Today, abortion is a major political, controversial, and personal topic around the world. Many misconceptions about abortion have led to a negative view of this choice that many women have to make. These misconceptions include that abortion is dangerous, that it causes mental health disorders, that it may cause future infertility, and that it may increase breast cancer (Littman et al. 2014). Some women decide to have this procedure performed because it was normal in their previous country or for personal reasons such as wanting to strive for higher education or simply not wanting children. One woman’s reason is not the same as another’s. When considering whether induced abortion should be legal or be supported by governments, we must evaluate the progress that has been made since legalizing induced abortion as well as the risks. Many women decide to get an abortion because of personal reasons and others do not have the right to make that choice.
UNC and I am majoring in pre-pharmacy, but very interested in changing my major while still staying on the pre-health track. Pharmacy has always been an interest of mine, but I am very open to trying new things! My hobbies are shopping, listening to music, watching Netflix, and of course doing assignments :). If medicine does not work out for me I will probably pursue a career in teaching because I love working with children. I am excited about joining clubs at UNC and also attending sporting events. It’s always a #GDTBATH!!
