Although, becoming a mother is a big decision and it is not something that you should decide in one day, there are a lot of women, especially young women who take the decision to have an abortion. Some of these women decide to have an abortion after having expensive IVF treatment.Some terminate pregnancies after splitting from their husband or boyfriend, others because they were pressured into starting a family. Committing abortions after such treatments worries doctors and has triggered a backlash from family campaigners who accuse the women of treating babies like “designer goods”.Data obtained from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority reveal that an average of 80 abortions are carried out in England Wales and Scotland each year following IVF treatment. Most of these mothers between the 18 and 34 years old.Fertility specialists expressed shock at the figures. “I had no idea there were so many post-IVF abortions — and each one is a tragedy,” said Professor Bill Ledger, a member of the authority
Abortion has always been a difficult subject and I don't really know what to say about this. I find it awful that women spent so much time on trying to have a baby with IVF treatment and than suddenly decide that they do not what to have a baby. I think that in this society people don't feel the rush to procreate themselves as they had before. So, when they are getting older they think that they should have children just like the other and then they realise that they are not ready to become a mother.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think that people who have IFV should have an appointment with someone to talk over the reasons why they are having IFV. Maybe there should also be an appointment with the woman alone so that if she feels pressured into starting a family she gets a chance to say this without the partner being there. They could also asses if the women still would want a child if her partner left her. I am against abortion especially after treatment like IVF because I feel that if you have chosen for IVF you should want a child.
