I’d like to hear what your opinions on abortion are. Recently my friend had an abortion. She is 25. When she found out that she was pregnant she wanted to keep the baby, but expected from her boyfriend’s parents to give them material support. She is still a student. I was the first that told her that that was not such good idea. Finally, she did it. I know that she didn’t decide it because of me. But, is it all about the money? I’m not sure if I was wrong.

I agree with you. It’s important to have control on your life and to decide when it is the right time. Thanks the science for abortion. I think that financial independence is very important and makes you mature enough for making some important decisions. I mean, I like babies and want to have children one day, but they have many needs and I want to be able to give them all mother can.

Abortion kills a human being PERIOD. If you have an abortion, it may increase your risk of breast cancer later in life. If you have an abortion, it increases your chances of having mental health and/or substance abuse issues. If you have an abortion, it can affect your ability to get pregnant later in life. Get the facts, do some research. There's 100's of thousands of childless couples who'd love to adopt a child, if you can't raise the baby, save the babies life, and give him or her to a loving family.

Springfield, IL -- A recent government funded study in Finland shows that women who abort are approximately four times more likely to die in the following year than women who carry their pregnancies to term. In addition, women who carry to term are only half as likely to die as women who were not pregnant.

"This is an impeccable, record-based study," said David C. Reardon, Ph.D., who authored a review of the Finland study and other related studies in the latest issue of The Post-Abortion Review. "It proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that abortion is not safer than childbirth."

Researchers from the statistical analysis unit of Finland's National Research and Development Center for Welfare and Health (STAKES) examined death certificate records for all women of reproductive age (15-49) who died between 1987 and 1994 — a total of 9,129 women. They then examined the national health care database to identify any pregnancy-related events for the women in the 12 months prior to their deaths.

The researchers found that compared to women who carried to term, women who aborted in the year prior to their deaths were 60 percent more likely to die of natural causes, seven times more likely to die of suicide, four times more likely to die of injuries related to accidents, and 14 times more likely to die from homicide. Researchers believe the higher rate of deaths related to accidents and homicide may be linked to higher rates of suicidal or risk-taking behavior.

"Even though this important study was published in the top Scandinavian obstetrics journal, it has been completely ignored by the American press," Reardon said. "Even worse, abortion counselors continue to lie to American women. They are telling women that abortion is safer than childbirth, when this and other irrefutable studies prove exactly the opposite. The entire body of medical literature clearly shows that abortion contributes to a decline in women's physical and mental health. Women aren't hearing this. Nor are they being told that giving birth actually contributes to women's overall health, not only in comparison to those who abort but also in comparison to women who have not been pregnant."

Reardon believes that abortion providers are collaborating with population control zealots to conceal the risks of abortion in order to advance their own financial and social engineering agendas. "If they were really pro-choice, they would want women to know about abortion's true risks," he said. "Instead, they are offering women a bundle of half-truths and complete fabrications."
