In this article, it is discussing the different types of procedures. In 2015, physicians have
established a waiting period for a woman to decide for abortion and the actual procedure. It also
talks about a womans health. The abortion law is only legal if a womans life or health is
threatened. The waiting period can help the woman to decide if she really sincerely wants to have
the abortion. The most abortion procedures that are done are called vacuum aspiration or suction
curettage. At one point, there was an act that was safer unless if the fetus is large. They called
this certain procedure dilation and evacuation. If the fetus was large they would destroy it in
order to bring it out.

CNN wrote this article about women posting their abortions. Anyone has the freedom of
speech but should this be spoken about? There were women expressing their abortions under a
hashtag Shout your abortions. Many of women that have had abortions are not shameful, sad, or
of any regret. This is not a bias article. Women from both sides speak their opinion on abortion.
The women opposing abortion, state the fact that if you are going to have an abortion, you
should not have sex in the first place. Also, there is no understanding from each other sides. The
last thing that is discussed the other hashtag. The women opposing abortions have called this act
a hashtag kill my baby and Im proud of it. There was on girl that put on her twitter quoting,
Destroying sea turtle eggs: Felony Destroying eagle eggs: Felony destroying a fetus (human):
gets high fives on twitter.
