The first recorded practiced of abortion was in B.C. 1550 in Egypt. This was recorded in an ancient medical text called the Ebers Papyrus. In the Ebers Papyrus, it suggests the use of a plant-fiber tampon coated with a compound that included honey and crushed dates when having an abortion. It also mentions a herbal abortifacient called pennyroyal, which is sometimes used in abortions. Yet this pennyroyal is toxic and is not a safe way to induct an abortion.

Another word cloud
Here's another word cloud. Try looking at it first without looking at the analysis below nor the site and guess what the sites about.
In this word cloud, the words "Abortion", "Procedure", "Medical", "Clinic", "Pregnancy", "Dilators", "Appointment", "Options" come out in big words. As I said in the last blog entry, the bigger the word in a word cloud, the more frequently that word comes up in the original text. So, this site is about abortion and it includes information about medical precedures/options and clinics. You can also find words like "Doctor" and "Risks", which point out that this site is talking from a medical point of view and is explaining about the options when you get pregnant, the procedures of abortion and risks from surgical methods. Therefore, this is a site that provides information about abortion, which may be considered as "for" abortion.

A word cloud
I'm sure everyone knows what a word cloud is, so I won't be explaining what it is. This is a word cloud I made using a site called Tagxedo.com.
It is from the text from a site(citation at end of entry) written about Catholic thoughts. As you can see, the words "Abortion","Murder","Life", "Church", "Law", "Child" come up as big words. This shows that this site uses these words frequently. So from this, in Catholic beliefs, abortion is considered an act of murder and to kill a child in the womb is sinful. It is said in the old testament that a child in the womb has a soul and to kill one with a soul is sinful. The word "Law" refers to the ten comandments and you can find words in the cloud such as adultery, murder, and didache that are forbidden in the ten commandments. Looking from the word cloud above and looking at facts from the bible, your can tell that this (catholic) site is "against" abortion.

Answers to my questions
I will answer some of the questions I came up with last week.
First of all, I researched which country has the highest abortion rate. According to my research, Russia has the highest abortion rate in the world. The country which has the second highest abortion rate is Sweden. The abortion rate of Russia is higher tha that of Sweden by far. 17.7 of 1,000 people have an abortion in Sweden, while 40.3 of 1,000 people do so.
Why so many Russian people have an abortion? This is because many of them wouldn't take contraceptive. So many young women become pregnant against their wishes.
In contrast, Morocco has low avortion rate. In Morocco , abortion is regarded as a toboo. If a woman have an abortion, she will be arrested. Even if she became pregnant because of the rape, she is blamed.
There are some trials concerning abortion in Japan. Generally, these quarrels are caused by a woman who had abortion and a man who is her onetime boyfriend. In the trial, they often argue about the man should pay compensation.
Abortion sometimes do harm to women's body. Once a woman have an abortion, she tends to become sterility.
There are various ideas on abortion. These ideas often infruenced by religions. Christians have the most strict rule on abortion. In contrast , Buddihists tolerant of it.
Most Japanese people don't have any religion. I think this is one of the reasons Japan has a high abortion rate.

Two websites which I found
The first website I found is guttmacher.org. In this website, we can get a lot of information about abortion facts in America. For example, we can know the number of abortion per year and the reason some people had an abotion.What is more, we can find reports and video about abortion.
Another website is Medline Plus. This website was made for people who want to consult with a doctor about abortion. There are some important topics in this website. I think a topic about teenagers' abortion is worth reading.

Websites related to abortion
The first website I would like to introduce is plannedparenthood.org. On this site,in the abortion section, it talks about the ways of abortion and has other facts that people thinking of having an abortion might be curious about. There is also a chat system where you can ask questions that might be more precise. This website is .org site, which makes it more trustworthy.
