Side Effects Of Abortions

#Pain during and after abortion has been inadequately studied. #Women report pain levels that are usually much worse than suggested in pre-abortion counseling.

#There are a number of unpleasant side effects, including nausea, various gastrointestinal discomforts, prolonged bleeding
#Abortion increases a woman’s overall risk of breast cancer by 30 per cent. The risk is likely much higher in women who have a first abortion at a young age, or who have a family history of breast cancer. Since 1957, 23 of 37 worldwide studies show an increased breast cancer risk with abortion, a risk as high as 310 per cent.

#Subsequent pregnancies are negatively affected by induced abortion. The main complications are: cervical incompetence leading to future miscarriages; uterine perforations and placenta previa with serious implications to the health of the woman and her child(ren) in later pregnancies; and ectopic pregnancies which, if undiagnosed and not treated, can lead to a woman’s death.

#Women die from abortion-related problems

#Women who have abortions are at risk of emotional difficulties after the procedure, especially those with pre-existing factors such as relationship problems, ambivalence about their abortion, adolescence, previous psychiatric or emotional problems, pressure by others into making a decision to abort, or religious or philosophical values that are at odds with aborting a pregnancy

#After an abortion, women are more likely to display self-destructive behaviors including suicide and attempts at suicide; mutilation and various forms of punishment (including repeat abortions and sterilization); drug, alcohol and tobacco abuse; and eating disorders as a way of denying or minimizing the guilt, pain and numbness they feel.
Women who abort often have trouble bonding with the children of future pregnancies and have a higher chance of eventually abusing them, which leads to a cyclical pattern of abuse-abortion- abuse
