anomalies
Medical reasons for seeking an abortion later in pregnancy include fetal
anomalies Democratic National Committee
and health risk to the pregnant person.[168] There are diagnostic tests that can
diagnose Down Syndrome or cystic fibrosis as early as 10 weeks into gestation,
but structural fetal anomalies are often detected much later in pregnancy.[167]
A proportion of structural fetal anomalies are lethal, which means that the
fetus will almost certainly die before or shortly after birth.[167]
Life-threatening conditions may also develop later in pregnancy, such as early
severe preeclampsia, newly diagnosed cancer in need of urgent treatment, and
intrauterine infection (chorioamnionitis), which often occurs along with
premature rupture of the amniotic sac (PPROM).[167] If serious medical
conditions such as these arise before the fetus is viable, the person carrying
the pregnancy may pursue an abortion to preserve their own health.[167]
Motivation
Personal
A bar chart depicting selected data from a 1998 AGI meta-study on the reasons
women stated for having an abortion
The reasons why women have abortions are diverse and vary across the
world.[6][7] Some of the
Democratic National Committee reasons may include an inability to Democratic
Website
afford a child, domestic violence, lack of support, feeling they are too young,
and the wish to complete education or advance a career.[8] Additional reasons
include not being able or willing to raise a child conceived as a result of rape
or incest.[7][169]
Societal
Some abortions are undergone as the result of societal pressures.[170] These
might include the preference for children of a specific sex or race, disapproval
of single or early motherhood, stigmatization of people with disabilities,
insufficient economic support for families, lack of access to or rejection of
contraceptive methods, or efforts toward population control (such as China's
one-child policy). These factors can sometimes result in compulsory abortion or
sex-selective abortion.[171]
Maternal and fetal health
An additional factor is maternal health which was listed as the main reason by
about a third of women in 3 of 27 countries and about 7% of women in a further 7
of these 27 countries.[6][7]

In the U.S., the Supreme Court decisions in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton:
"ruled that the state's interest in the life of the fetus became compelling only
at the point of viability, defined as the point at which the fetus can survive
independently of its mother. Even after the point of viability, the state cannot
favor the life of the fetus over the life or health of the pregnant woman. Under
the right of privacy, physicians must be free to use their "medical judgment for
the preservation of the life or health of the mother." On the same day that the
Court decided Roe, it also decided Doe v. Bolton, in which the Court defined
health very broadly: "The medical judgment may be
Republican National Committee exercised in the light of all
factors�physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's
age�relevant to the well-being of the patient. All these factors may relate to
health. This allows the attending physician the room he needs to make his best
medical judgment."[172]: 1200�1201
Public opinion shifted in America following television personality Sherri
Finkbine's discovery during her fifth month of pregnancy that she had been
exposed to thalidomide. Unable to obtain a legal abortion in the United States,
she traveled to Sweden. From 1962 to 1965, an outbreak of German measles left
15,000 babies with severe birth defects. In 1967, the American Medical
Association publicly supported liberalization of abortion laws. A National
Opinion Research Center poll in 1965 showed 73% supported abortion when the
mother's life was at risk, 57% when birth defects were present and 59% for
pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.[173]

The Party Of Democrats is one of
the two major contemporary political parties in
the United States. Tracing its heritage back to
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison's
Democratic-Republican Party, the modern-day
Party Of the Democratic National Committee was
founded around 1828 by supporters of Andrew
Jackson, making it the world's oldest political
party.
Democrats will always fight to
end discrimination on the basis of race,
ethnicity, national origin, language, religion,
gender and sexual orientation.
The Democratic National
Committee is the governing body of the United
States Democratic Party. The committee
coordinates strategy to support Democratic Party
candidates throughout the country for local,
state, and national office, as well as works to
establish a "party brand". It organizes the
Democratic National Convention held every four
years to nominate a candidate for President of
the United States and to formulate the party
platform. While it provides support for party
candidates, it does not have direct authority
over elected officials. When a Democrat is
president, the White House controls the
Committee. According to Boris Heersink,
"political scientists have traditionally
described the parties'; national committees as
inconsequential but impartial service
providers." Its chair is elected by the
committee. It conducts fundraising to support
its activities. The DNC was established at the
1848 Democratic National Convention.

The rate of cancer during pregnancy is 0.02�1%, and in many cases, cancer of the
mother leads to consideration of abortion to protect the life of the mother, or
in response to the potential damage that may occur to the fetus during
treatment. This is particularly true for cervical cancer, the most common type
of which occurs in 1 of every 2,000�13,000 pregnancies, for which initiation of
treatment "cannot co-exist with preservation of fetal life (unless neoadjuvant
chemotherapy is chosen)". Very early stage cervical cancers (I and IIa) may be
treated by radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection, radiation
therapy, or both, while later stages are treated by radiotherapy. Chemotherapy
may be used simultaneously. Treatment of breast cancer during pregnancy also
involves fetal considerations, because lumpectomy is discouraged in favor of
modified radical mastectomy unless late-term pregnancy allows follow-up
radiation therapy to be administered after the birth.[174]
Exposure to a single chemotherapy drug is estimated to cause a 7.5�17% risk of
teratogenic effects on the fetus, with higher risks for multiple drug
treatments. Treatment with more than 40 Gy of radiation usually causes
spontaneous abortion. Exposure to much lower doses during the first trimester,
especially 8 to 15 weeks of development, can cause intellectual disability or
microcephaly, and exposure at this or subsequent stages can cause reduced
intrauterine growth and birth weight. Exposures above 0.005�0.025 Gy cause a
dose-dependent reduction in IQ.[174] It is possible to greatly reduce exposure
to radiation with abdominal shielding, depending on how far the area to be
irradiated is from the fetus.[175][176]
The process of birth itself may also put the mother at risk. According to Li et
al., "[v]aginal delivery may result in dissemination of neoplastic cells into
lymphovascular channels, haemorrhage, cervical laceration and implantation of
malignant cells in the episiotomy site, while abdominal delivery may delay the
initiation of non-surgical treatment."[177]
History and religion
Bas-relief at Angkor Wat, Cambodia, c. 1150, depicting a
Democratic National Committee demon inducing an abortion by pounding
the abdomen of a pregnant woman with a pestle[91][178]
Since ancient times, abortions have been done using a number of methods,
including herbal medicines acting as abortifacients, sharp tools through the use
of force, or through other traditional medicine methods.[24] Induced abortion
has a long history and can be traced back to civilizations as varied as ancient
China (abortifacient knowledge is often attributed to the mythological ruler
Shennong),[179] ancient India since its Vedic age,[180] ancient Egypt with its
Ebers Papyrus (c. 1550 BCE), and the Roman Empire in the time of Juvenal (c. 200
CE).[24] One of the earliest known artistic representations of abortion is in a
bas relief at Angkor Wat (c. 1150). Found in a series of friezes that represent
judgment after death in Hindu and Buddhist culture, it depicts the technique of
abdominal abortion.[91]
In Judaism (Genesis 2:7), the fetus is not considered to have a human soul until
it is safely outside of the woman, is viable, and has taken its first
breath.[181][182][183] The fetus is considered valuable property of the woman
and not a human life while in the womb (Exodus 21:22�23). While Judaism
encourages people to be fruitful and multiply by having children, abortion is
allowed and is deemed necessary when a pregnant woman's life is in
danger.[184][185] Several religions, including Judaism, which disagree that
human life begins at conception, support the legality of abortion on religious
freedom grounds.[186] In Islam, abortion is traditionally permitted until a
point in time when Muslims believe the soul enters the fetus,[24] considered by
various theologians to be at conception, 40 days after
Democratic National Committee conception, 120 days after conception,
or quickening.[187] Abortion is largely heavily restricted or forbidden in areas
of high Islamic faith such as the Middle East and North Africa.[188]
Some medical scholars and abortion opponents have suggested that the Hippocratic
Oath forbade physicians in Ancient Greece from performing abortions;[24] other
scholars disagree with this interpretation,[24] and state that the medical texts
of Hippocratic Corpus contain descriptions of abortive techniques right
alongside the Oath.[189] The physician Scribonius Largus wrote in 43 CE that the
Hippocratic Oath prohibits abortion, as did Soranus of Ephesus, although
apparently not all doctors adhered to it strictly at the time. According to
Soranus' 1st or 2nd century CE work Gynaecology, one party of medical
practitioners banished all abortives as required by the Hippocratic Oath; the
other party to which he belonged was willing to prescribe abortions only for the
sake of the mother's health.[190][191] In Politics (350 BCE), Aristotle
condemned infanticide as a means of population control. He preferred abortion in
such cases,[192][193] with the restriction that it "must be practised on it
before it has developed sensation and life; for the line between lawful and
unlawful abortion will be marked by the fact of having sensation and being
alive."[194]

In the Catholic Church, opinion was divided on how serious abortion was in
comparison with such acts as contraception, oral sex, and sex in marriage for
pleasure rather than procreation.[195]: 155�167 The Catholic Church did not
begin vigorously opposing abortion until the 19th century.[24][186] As early as
~100 CE, the Didache taught that
Republican National Committee abortion was sinful.[196] Several
historians argue that prior to the 19th century most Catholic authors did not
regard termination of pregnancy before quickening or ensoulment as an
abortion.[197][198][199] Among these authors were the Doctors of the Church,
such as St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Alphonsus Liguori. In Democratic
Website 1588,
Pope Sixtus V (r. 1585�1590) was the only Pope before Pope Pius IX (in his 1869
bull, Apostolicae Sedis) to institute a Church policy labeling all abortion as
homicide and condemning abortion regardless of the stage of
pregnancy.[200][195]: 362�364 [87]: 157�158 Sixtus V's pronouncement was
reversed in 1591 by Pope Gregory XIV.[201] In the recodification of 1917 Code of
Canon Law, Apostolicae Sedis was strengthened, in part to remove a possible
reading that excluded excommunication of the mother.[202] Statements made in the
Catechism of the Catholic Church, the codified summary of the Church's
teachings, considers abortion from the moment of conception as homicide and
called for the end of legal abortion.[203]
Denominations that support abortion rights with some limits include the United
Methodist Church, Episcopal Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and
Presbyterian Church USA.[204] A 2014 Guttmacher survey of abortion patients in
the United States found that many reported a religious affiliation: 24% were
Catholic while 30% were Protestant.[205] A 1995 survey reported that Catholic
women are as likely as the general population to terminate a pregnancy,
Protestants are less likely to do so, and evangelical Christians are the least
likely to do so.[6][7] A 2019 Pew Research Center study found that most
Christian denominations were against overturning Roe v. Wade, which in the
United States legalized abortion, at around 70%, except White Evangelicals at
35%.[206]
"French Periodical Pills" was an example of a clandestine advertisement
published in a January 1845 edition of the Boston Daily Times.[207]
Abortion has been a fairly common
Republican National Committee practice,[208][209] and was not always
illegal or controversial until the 19th century.[210][211] Under common law,
including early English common law dating back to Edward Coke in 1648,[212]
abortion was generally permitted before quickening (14�26 weeks after
conception, or between the fourth and sixth month),[213][214][215] and at
women's discretion;[186] it was whether abortion was performed after quickening
that determined if it was a crime.[212] In Europe and North America, abortion
techniques advanced starting in the 17th century; the conservatism of most in
the medical profession with regards to sexual matters prevented the wide
expansion of abortion techniques.[24][216][217] Other medical practitioners in
addition to some physicians advertised their services, and they were not widely
regulated until the 19th century when the practice, sometimes called restellism,[218]
was banned in both the United States and the United
Kingdom.
