How Abortion Affects Women's Health.
Method
This study used quantitative data collection and analysis techniques. Meta-analysis as a form of quantitative data collection method was adopted. The need to review a huge quantity of data relating to abortion pushed for the research to used meta-analysis. Berer, (2017) defines Meta-analysis as a scientific research method that follows a systematic assessment of studies that have already been done to come up with relevant conclusions about the subject of study.
Since this study was to systematically review and analyze data, the first step for the researcher was to formulate research questions. The PICO tool was followed in formulating the research questions and dictating the direction of the study. The PICO(S) tool involved coming up with questions with references to participants, interventions, comparisons, and outcomes. Therefore, the main questions that this study intended to answer include:
· Who are the people most affected by abortion in society?
· How does abortion complicate the lives of women in different parts of the world?
· What are the benefits of safe abortion as compared to unsafe abortions?
· What are the ways to ensure a safer abortion for a woman who intends to undertake it?
After the formulation of the research question, the researcher concentrated on the literature search. In this search, the researcher selected studies to be used based on quality criteria, where studies were selected based on their relevance on the topic of abortion. Also, the publication date was used as a criterion for the selection of study materials. Also, this study selected recent data that were published from the early ’90s to date. Lastly, because of the need for inclusivity, the study used both online and offline material. Figure1, below illustrates how getting the right source for meta-analysis was done through the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA).

Ethical Aspects and Rights of a Fetus
Method
The research design of this study was conducted using the meta-analysis method. A series of information was collected from various scientific studies and various journals related to the ethical aspects and right of a fetus. After the combination of all of the data was received, the information was then compared and contrasted and only the information most prevalent to the rights of the fetus were utilized. The Ethical aspect of the rights of the fetus has been a worldwide debate, with opinions that have varied based on a variety of aspects such as culture, region, socio-economic status, and more, so a meta-analysis method was deemed the best approach because the hypothesis could not been proven based on a single study. Another benefit as to why a meta-analysis was used was because multiple studies increased the power of the research compared to an individual study.
For this study, the virtual library was used alongside secondary sources from online articles that were then verified and authenticated for reliability. Ebsco database was used and all inner databases, CINHAL and Medline, were selected. An advance search was carried out and the publications were limited to full text and abstract. Furthermore, only English language publications were selected, and all publications had to be within the last five years. The following key terms were used to narrow down the topic “Ethics and Rights of a Fetus”. After completing the search, 23 articles were available for study and use. These articles then underwent screening and were evaluated after the abstract was read and its prevalence to the hypothesis of the research was determined. Another important factor was to factor in the thesis statement and determined whether it accommodated the purpose of the research. All studies that contained statistics in regard to abortion rates, financial factors that affected abortion, and scientific studies that evaluated the viability of an embryo were used. Furthermore, studies that highlighted the maternal- fetal conflict and the interface between the mother’s moral rights and duties were utilized because they were deemed useful.
Conclusion
It is correct to conclude that women have difficulty coping in life after an abortion. Women face psychological effects such as trying to cope whether they made the right decision or not. Physical effects such as contracting diseases and huge loss of blood are also common in many developing countries (Faúndes & Shah, 2015). Most of these effects arise as a result of many people in the world addressing abortion as a crime or a bad vice. However, this study proposes that abortion be discussed more openly within educational institutions as well as through the media. This will enable women to be more aware of the potential risks they are taking. Overall effects brought about by an increase in knowledge for women might decrease the number of abortions as it will lead to informed decision making (Tietze & Lincoln, 2016).
Also, abortion should be legalized and the laws governing it be strictly investigated such that in the necessary cause of abortion. This way, women can get proper medical attention reducing the risk of complications that result from abortions (Faúndes, 2010). Moreover, in the states where abortion is already legal, the governments in those states must provide affordable medical services so that botched procedures cannot be sought with the excuse that they cannot be afforded.
Finally, education on the use of family planning methods is vital and should be made affordable and accessible all over the world to curb unwanted pregnancies that result in abortion. Medication such as antibiotics should come in handy to curd deaths or infection-related complications.
The conclusion is ok, but it needs to provide only the recommendations at the end
