Immediate risks of abortion
induced abortion carries a risk of several side effects. These risks include abdominal pain and cramping, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In most abortions, no serious complications occur. However, the risk of complications is about 1 out of every 100 early abortions and in about 1 out of every 50 later abortions. Such complications may include:

heavy bleeding - some bleeding after abortion is normal. However, there is a risk of hemorrhage, especially if the uterine artery is torn. When this happens, a blood transfusion may be required.
Infection - there is a risk that bacteria may get into the uterus from an incomplete abortion resulting in infection. A serious infection may lead to persistent fever over several days and extended hospitalization.
Incomplete abortion - there is a risk that some fetal parts may not be removed by the abortion. Bleeding and infection may occur. Ru486 may fail in up to 1 out of every 20 cases.
Allergic reaction to drugs - there is a risk of an allergic reaction to the anesthesia used during abortion surgery. These risks include convulsions, heart attack and, in extreme cases, death.
Tearing of the cervix - there is a risk that the cervix may be cut or torn by abortion instruments.
Scarring of the uterine lining - there is a risk that suction tubing, curettes, and other abortion instruments may cause permanent scarring of the uterine lining.
Perforation of the uterus - there is a risk that the uterus may be punctured or torn by abortion instruments. The risk of this complication increases with the length of the pregnancy. If this occurs, major surgery, including a hysterectomy, may be required.
Damage to internal organs - when the uterus is punctured or torn, there is also a risk that damage will occur to nearby organs such as the bowel and bladder.
Death - in extreme cases, there is a risk of other physical complications from abortion including excessive bleeding, infection, organ damage from a perforated uterus, and adverse reactions to anesthesia may lead to death. This complication is very rare and occurs, on average, in less than 20 cases per year.
What are some of the other risks of abortion?
Abortion may increase the risk of breast cancer
medical experts are still researching and debating the linkage between abortion and breast cancer. However, a 1994 study in the journal of the national cancer institute found: "among women who had been pregnant at least once, the risk of breast cancer in those who had experienced an induced abortion was 50% higher than among other women."

here are other important facts:

carrying a pregnancy to full term gives protection against breast cancer that does not occur if the pregnancy is aborted.
Abortion causes a sudden drop in estrogen levels that may make breast cells more susceptible to cancer.
Most studies conducted so far show a significant link between abortion and breast cancer.
Abortion may effect risk levels in future pregnancies
scarring or other injury during an abortion may prevent or place at risk future wanted pregnancies. The risk of miscarriage is greater for women who abort their first pregnancy.

Abortion may increase the risk of emotional problems
some women experience strong negative emotions after abortion. Sometimes this occurs within days and sometimes it happens after many years. This psychological response is known as post-abortion stress (pas). Several factors that increase the risk of post-abortion stress include: the woman's age, the abortion circumstances, the stage of pregnancy at which the abortion occurs, and the woman's religious beliefs.

Post-abortion stress symptoms
guilt
anger
anxiety
depression
suicidal thoughts
anniversary grief
flashbacks of abortion
sexual dysfunction
relationship problems
eating disorders
alcohol and drug abuse
psychological reactions

The best thing of course is not to ever get pregnant in the first place. In fact, the worst thing about pregnancy is that it usually results in another human being -- let's talk about how many crime are committed, how many rapes and murders. How many people are just a drain on the world's resources, without contributing anything at all (ya ya, include me in that, someone will say, thinking they are so clever and orgininal!). Each of those creatures started off as someone's precious baby. Yuck.

do you do these things.... Then what makes you think that your children will do them.. A child only does what a parent allows them or teaches them or allows them to be taught...

Just like abortion.. A child will get an abortion if forced/ or told that it is ok.. Or told that nothing at all is wrong with it.. If you could lay the staticts facts about rape and all the rest of the stuff I will be glad to comment..

your so wrong there. But you already know that. I guess your catching that ignorance bug going around here. I had not one spec of damage done to my body. Not even a stretch mark. So you can stop anytime now with the silliness.


to quote you: "depends on the woman." my mother was in extreme pain after giving birth to me, because I came out face-down instead of face-up. She had to have stitches on parts of her vaginal entrance because they ripped. And I was a small baby. She was on her back for a week.

And some women die in childbirth, although the rates are very low of that today.

Eiri,

an episiotomy is where they cut you there so that it doesnt tear or wont need as many stitches..

I hate the fact that everyone has excuses about having children.. I think alot of you are just scared

even in developed countries, the mortality rate from carrying to term and giving birth are significantly higher than from abortion. First trimester abortion is a fairly minor surgical procedure -- there isn't much to remove after all. And the risks of things like high blood pressure, etc. Tend to occur later in the pregnancy. Obviously the longer a pregnancy goes on, the more strain there is on a woman's body. There are also the risks of childbirth, ruptures, breech births, etc. What do you think the words "emergency caesarean" mean? Basically, if they don't do it in time, you die.

Also, the risks of mortality for teenagers, because their bodies are not sufficiently developed, is something like 5 times that if you are over 20.

Personally, I would gladly have an abortion rather than be pregnant. The thought of being pregant is just too revolting and horrific.

And having an abortion can do all the same things except a little more like giving you more chances to have cancer and etc..

nope. The risk of death is far higher in gestation/childbirth than in legal first trimester abortion. And here in canada, women do not die from legal abortion these days. However, they do die in childbirth.

i would abort a zillion times before I gave birth. I have zero interest in birthing, in fact less than zero interest.

yeah. That is a sane thought. Forcing someone to gestate against their will because a doctor won't sterlize a person. You freaks make no sense.


first off im not a freak.. 2nd read the topic... Again...

Im saying it should be fair... If they wont do a tl on someone then they shouldnt do an abortion on someone then

Why is it okay to have a baby when you are too immature or irresponsible to use contraception, or to decide to have a baby when you cannot afford it, and don't know anything about how to be a parent, but someone who knows perfectly well that they do not ever want to be pregnant or have a child cannot get sterilised. It is insane.
