We keep hearing the same old liberal pro-death mantra about how abortion is "about saving the lives of women".

However... what you're NOT being told is that having an abortion is actually MUCH RISKIER than having a baby. It was found that one-third of all federally-funded abortion clinics are NOT dispensing accurate information about abortions.

It is a KNOW FACT that abortion complications are SEVERELY under-reported, however...

Here are some interesting fact that the pro-abortion/pro-death crowd doesn't want people to know:

Psychological dangers:

1. Over 40% of women who have abortions experience EXTREME depression - twice the rate of women who were never pregnant, and 35% more likely than women who brought their child to term.

2. Those with at least one abortion were twice as likely to drink dangerously and three times as likely to regularly use drugs as those who had continued their pregnancies.

3. 90% of women who have abortions suffer severe damage to their self esteem.

4. 60% of post-abortion women seriously contemplate suicide, and 28% attempt suicide.

5. 20% of post-abortion women develop full-blown Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

6. Women who have abortions are twice as likely to DIE, within 2 years, as those women who do not have abortions.



Physical Dangers:

1. The Centers for Disease Control, World Health Organization, & other health groups estimate that in excess of 60,000 or 70,000 women die per year from complications of botched abortions.[New York Times; 1 Dec 2000]

2. Women who have abortions have a 30% higher risk of developing breast cancer. Some estimate the risk, for girls under 18 who have abortions, actually rises as much as 800%.

3. Severe bleeding, sometimes fatal, is COMMON for post-abortive women. 2-3% of women who have abortions suffer a perforated uterus.

4. According to the World Health Organization, women who have abortions have an extremely high risk of severe infection.

5. Women who have abortions run a significantly higher risk of developing cervical, ovarian and liver cancer.

6. Legal abortion is reported as the fifth leading cause of maternal death in the United States, though in fact it is recognized that most abortion related deaths are not officially reported as such. In fact, it has been documented that the actual number of deaths, as a result of abortion, is 30%-40% higher than the CDC actually admits.

7. Cervical lacerations, a typical result of abortion, lead to higher cases of miscarriage, premature births and birth complications.

8. Post abortion women are 7-15 times more likely to have Placenta Previa, which leads to birth defects and abnormalities, and severe risk to the woman.

9. Women who have abortions are almost 3 times more likely to have Endometritis. Additionally, many post-abortive women also suffer from adenomyosis.

10. Post abortive women are far more likely to develop infertility (2%-5% of post-abortive women become sterile), partly due to chlamydia infection. Infertility is also caused by bone and flesh fragments, of the aborted baby, being left in the womb.



This, of course, is just the tip of the iceberg. Pro-death/pro-abortion advocates simply don't want people to know this. Why? Because it cuts into the bottom line of their PROFIT. The average cost of a "typical" abortion is over $500.00. It's not difficult to do the math. 1.5 million abortions per year (average in the United States) multiplied by $500.00, means that the abortion industry is a $750 million dollar per year business.

Abortion

almost 1/3 of all women who have had abortions attempt suicide?

I flatly don't believe it

Let's address this lie first, shall we?

According to the National Cancer Institute:

"The relationship between induced and spontaneous abortion and breast cancer risk has been the subject of extensive research beginning in the late 1950s. Until the mid-1990s, the evidence was inconsistent. Findings from some studies suggested there was no increase in risk of breast cancer among women who had had an abortion, while findings from other studies suggested there was an increased risk. Most of these studies, however, were flawed in a number of ways that can lead to unreliable results. Only a small number of women were included in many of these studies, and for most, the data were collected only after breast cancer had been diagnosed, and women’s histories of miscarriage and abortion were based on their “self-report” rather than on their medical records. Since then, better-designed studies have been conducted. These newer studies examined large numbers of women, collected data before breast cancer was found, and gathered medical history information from medical records rather than simply from self-reports, thereby generating more reliable findings. The newer studies consistently showed no association between induced and spontaneous abortions and breast cancer risk. "

Abortion, Miscarriage, and Breast Cancer Risk - National Cancer Institute

As for the rest, I notice it sites the WHO, so they are probably talking about illegal abortions obtained in 3rd world countries.

Why do you people feel the need to lie?

The Abortion/Breast Cancer link has been proven as undeniable fact.

Google it, and do your own search. You'll even find it admitted in the Planned Parenthood Propaganda.



Uou're free to believe the pro-death/pro-abortion lies all you want. Be my guest.

But if you have half a brain in your head, you'll think seriously about letting your daughter get an abortion. And we all know why...

ROFLMAO!!!

Did you read your links? One of them, the one from MSNBC tells how anti-abortion clinics LIE to people calling in.

Here's a quote:

One pregnancy center told a congressional aide the risk of cancer after an abortion could be 80 percent higher, the report noted. Ford said she doubted a pregnancy center would go that far, but the Web site for a pregnancy center in Albuquerque says the risk for cancer after an abortion is 50 percent or greater.
In February 2003, a National Cancer Institute workshop concluded that having an abortion or miscarriage does not increase a woman's subsequent risk of developing breast cancer.
The report from the Democratic aides also said the pregnancy resource centers provided false information about the mental health effects of abortion, telling the aides that it could cause severe long-term emotional harm.
However, an American Psychological Association panel said, "Severe negative reactions are rare."
But Ford said that pregnancy center counselors don't need statistics to tell them that many women undergoing an abortion experience severe emotional trauma.
"This isn't about a medical statistic to us. We do post-abortion counseling every day," Ford said.

LOLOLOL

I did, you moron, that's where I came up with the National Cancer Institute.

But I guess they don't know what they are talking about, and your anti-abortion websites can pull any statistics out of their butts and you would believe it.

Jefferson, back on ignore.

I lose IQ points everytime I read one of your posts.

If you read the link Jefferson, you would see that the PREGNANCY CENTERS are the ones doing the misinforming, not the abortion clinics.

Your stats come from Right to Life...

You were complaining before about biased websites, and then you post that?

An "undeniable fact"...really?

So you are saying that the National Cancer Institute is wrong about their conclusion?

Care to post the actual studies used to derive your conclusion?

LOL
reading his posts are a reminder of the moments of your life you'll never get back LOL
