Abortion

I am here to convince you to think before acting. I am not against abortion but I am not for abortion. Do you know there are so many disadvantages of having an abortion? There are physical and mental disadvantages. The term abortion actually refers to any premature expulsion of a human fetus. Abortion ends a pregnancy by destroying and removing the developing child. You can die from abortion. The leading cause of abortion related deaths are hemorrhage and infection. Legal abortions are reported as the fifth leading cause of maternal death in the United State.
You also have illegal. They may not be report. You can develop breast, cervical, ovarian and liver cancer from having abortion. The risk of breast cancer almost doubles after one abortion, and rises even further with two or more. Women with one abortion face a 2.3 risk of cervical cancer, compared to non-aborted women, and women with two or more aborts face a 4.92 relative risk. Similar elevated risks of ovarian and liver have also been linked to single and multiple abortion. These increased cancer rates for post-aborted women are apparently links to the unnatural disruption of the hormonal changes, which accompany pregnancy and untreated cervical damage.

In a later pregnancies there is a chance of having a handicapped newborns. Abortion is associated with cervical and uterine damages, which may increase the risk of, permute delivery, complication of labor and abnormal development of the placenta in later pregnancies. You can develop Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). PID is a potentially life threatening disease which can lead to an increased risk of expire pregnancy and reduced retaliate. Of patented who have a chlamyia infection at the time of the abortion, 23% will develop PID within 4 weeks. Studies have found that 20 to 27% of patients seeking abortion have a chlamydia inflection. Approximately 5% of patients who are not infected by chlamydia develop PID within 4 weeks after a first trimester abortion. In general, most of the studies above reflect risk factor for women who undergo a single abortion. These same studies show that women who have multiple abortions face a much greater risk of experiencing these complications. This point is especially noteworthy since approximately 485% of all abortions are for repeat aborts.

Teenagers, who account for about 30 percent of all abortions, are also at much high risk of suffering many abortion-related complications. This is true of both immediate complication, and of long-term reproductive damage. In a survey of 1428 women researchers found that pregnancy loss, and particularly losses due to indeed abortion, was associated with an overall lower health. Multiple abortion correlated to an even lower evaluation of "present health." While miscarriage was detrimental to health, abortion was found to have a greater correlation to poor health. These findings support pervious research whish reported that during the year following an abortion women visited their family doctors 80% more for all reasons and 180% more for psychosocial reasons. The authors also found that if a partner is present and not supportive, the miscarriage rate is more than double and the abortion rate is four times fretter than if he is present and supportive. It the partner is absent the abortion rate is six times greater.
