the complications you can experience as a result of an abortion are: inability to have
any children in the future, a perforated uterus, retained body parts of an aborted
baby that weren't completely removed, infection, and sometimes death.
Physical Complications of Abortion
Abortion carries risks. Here are some of the things that may happen to
you:
•
pain during the procedure
• bleeding and hemorrhaging
• cervical lacerations
• cervical incontinence (it’s a muscle and when it is stretched
it may tear) which means that in the future you may be unable to carry
a baby to term
• lacerated or scarred uterus
• infection because the person doing the abortion did not remove
all the parts of your baby
• death
There is also evidence that abortions may lead to breast cancer. A study published in the November 2, 1994 edition of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that women having abortions increased their risk of getting breast cancer before age 45 by about 50 %. Women under 18 who abort their first child face an increase of about 800% of the risk for breast cancer. And for women under 18 who have a history of breast cancer in their family, if they abort their first child they face an infinite risk of cancer. It’s a virtual breast cancer.
Abortion may also affect your fertility. Women who have abortions face an increased risk of tubal pregnancy and a 100% increase in the risk of future sterility as well as increased risk of future miscarriages.
Also,
you need to keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of abortions are
done in private facilities, not in hospitals and not in doctor’s
offices. Doesn’t really seem so very safe, does it?
