 Posted: 10/12/05 - 02:00 Post subject: What Are Abortion Side Effects? |
  |
|
I am 23 years old and my boyfriend is 25. I got pregnant and now we don’t know what to do, it’s early for us to have a baby, because we live with parents still. Anyway, I was thinking about abortion, but he doesn’t want to hear about that. He warns me all the time about abortion side effects, telling me he is worried for me. I need help to decide and I want to hear more about those side effects.

Many people don't realize that abortion is actually very dangerous procedure. While techniques are improving, there is still a high probability of negative physical side-effects. Also there are almost certain negative psychological side-effects. Abortion is an unnatural process that interrupts one of the primary functions of women’s body. A woman's body naturally resists the abortion, which causes physical and emotional problems. One of the most disturbing things about this is that many women aren't informed about these side-effects. 87% hospitalized women were ones with complications with legal abortion, and 91% had treated patients with complications from legal abortions. There are several doctors who reported patients dying from legally induced abortions. Either abortion is induced or spontaneous it independently and significantly increased the risk of subsequent development of the secondary infertility. There are really a lot of side effects, and if you will keep your baby or decide to this step depends on you.

| You say there's many risks and side effects to this procedure, yet you do not list any or give any helpful links. This topic is very serious, and touchy depending on personal beliefs. If your going to answer the question answer it fully. |

Hello 100505!
You seem to be aware of some bad sides of abortion, so I was thinking you could share your experience with me! The thing is that I am 26 and got pregnant with my boyfriend. We are in love and we just started living together. At first I thought I wanted a baby but then I realized how demanding it is living on your own especially because I am still a student and I work, so I have a lot of obligations. A baby is the last thing that I need right now, and I feel really tired.
Then I think of an abortion. I am against it because of my age and possible technical complications from the procedure. Also, I go down when I think of an abortion as an act, so I am really confused. I don’t want to suffer from depression in case I do it or experience mood swings because I’ve been there and honestly don’t want to go through it again.
Do you have an advice or at least an experience you could share with me? Thanx |

THANK you so much for your post! Abortion is a safe and effective procedure.
They use the same technique with a miscarriage that they do with an aboriton, yet noone pushes all the negative BS down their throats.. |

| Dear "Guest" who is extremely WRONG on this issue! First, there doesnt need to be any documentation from women that have emotional or psychological side effects because just talking to every single person that has an abortion says that they have regretted it and they NEVER got over it!! You talk about having a source for this and say that there is no documentation?! You dont need documentation when you talk about how a woman FEELS after. I ask you to talk to every single person that has had an abortion and see if it has caused them emotional side effects. You say that Lori should be ashamed, you should be ashamed as well when you down play other women's feelings on their abortions. If you had one then you can certainly understand that the emotional side effects are extremely painful. I dont know what journal of medicine can document that. Abortion is a personal decision, and I wouldn't sway any woman either way. I am not against abortion at all and have been contemplating it and doing research myself and I certainly can't say that there are no side effects and that everything is hunky dory afterwards! What about the increased risk of Breast Cancer? The risk of breast cancer almost doubles after one abortion.-British Journal of Cancer. Ectopic pregnancy,still birth, placenta previa, handicapped newborns and miscarriage in later pregnancies-American Journal of OB&GYN and Canadian Medical Association Journal. These are just a few future issues I would say that these are pretty good sources that have reported what you have said is completely untrue? Interesting...To say that they are not dangerous or do not have any sideeffects is a bunch of bull! YOU should be ashamed of yourself for glamourizing your two abortions. If you are so concerned about giving correct information, then give all of the information, BOTH sides so someone can make an effective choice. I can assure you that only you can make the choice to have an abortion, but to say that there is no negativity or side effects to it is completely untrue. Do people have abortions every day? Absolutely! Some may experience no problems at all and to some it may be an easy thing to get over, and to others they may have problems in the future. I still haven't made up my decision, but I can assure you that I am finding out all the facts, not just what one person thinks is the truth.... |

1. Ectopic pregnancy. The risk of ectopic pregnancy after an abortion is increased only if there was a major infection which resulted in scarring of the fallopian tubes. Infection occurs in less than 2% of women after abortion, and is almost always treated before complications occur.
2. Still birth. I can find no logic in this as there are no increased risks of still birth after a D&C after a miscarriage and it is the same process.
3. Placenta previa. There is a study from 1981 that suggests that abortions increase the risk of this condition, but more recent studies have shown no clear correlation between the two.
4. Handicapped newborns. Please explain this to me as there is no way that a previous abortion can cause a chromosomal disorder in a subsequent fertilisation, and there is no evidence that I can find of increases in incidence of in utero abnormalities or birth defects
5. Miscarriage in later pregnancies. There is a slightly increased chance that a woman may suffer from incompetent cervix in subsequent pregnancies, but the percentage is very low.
Because abortion is such a debated topic, it is very hard to find unbiased information. It is best to search for D&C after miscarriage as you are more likely to find the medical facts only without moral skew.[/quote]

YET, after a miscarriage they do not SCARE women with all these side effects. |

I did use birth control, I AM A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL!!
I TEACH birth control my dear!!
I became pregnant on an IUD.

I AM HAPPILY MARRIED.
You should not make assumptions, I could say YOU should use birth control, but perhaps you DID and it failed. |
