Abortion risks only confirm the fact that aborting is unnatural, destroying life - not promoting it. As with any medical or surgical procedure, errors and complications are always a possibility. Even though this procedure is claimed to be safe, many women still experience traumatic effects. Other women are more susceptible to problems and could be fighting for their life because of aborting their child. Pro-life advocates need to understand both the ethics of the matter as well as the possible risks to women's health. Although dangers and the possibility of traumatic effects, including post abortion trauma, are not reasons to be anti-abortion, they are important to understand in the fight against this procedure.
Despite the claims of medical doctors and researchers about the safety of aborting, there are still major risks. To many, these threats are not worth the "convenience" of aborting a child. Death, though rare, is a possibility. In places like the United States, the number of deaths is extremely low because the procedure is legal and done by a medical professional in a sterile environment. Another of the abortion risks is an incomplete abortion when the fetus and/or pregnancy tissue is left behind. Incompletion requires more medication or even dilation and curettage (D & C). If the child is carried to term following an incomplete attempt to abort, it is possible that the drug could cause deformities in the child. The fact that a child could survive an abortion just further affirms the fact that this is the destruction of human life. Cramping, especially after medically aborting, is another risk. Following a surgical procedure, it is possible to experience heavy blood loss, pain and even infection. Antibiotics will be used to treat an infection. Heavy bleeding can be treated with medication and D & C. Major blood loss can be treated with a blood transfusion although this is a rare occurrence. Another of the threats is perforation. It is possible during surgery to puncture a hole the uterus. If unrepaired, the perforation could cause other complications.
A woman could face even greater threats should she ignore any strange symptoms following the procedure. A woman who experiences foul smelling vaginal discharge, no bleeding within 24 hour of a medical abortion or a fever of 100 degree Fahrenheit or higher will need to call her doctor immediately. A woman should also be wary of more vaginal bleeding than usual with large blood clots and severe back or abdominal pain. Among the abortion risks after surgery, there is a small risk of infertility should the woman face complications like perforation. Typically, though, such complications can lead to difficulty in future pregnancies or result in future miscarriages rather than infertility. Thus, the choice to deny life affects a woman for the rest of her marriage and family life. For answers to other important topics like abortion, click here.
There are physical threats, but there are also psychological risks, now called Post Abortion Trauma, Stress or Syndrome which further prove aborting to be a damaging procedure. This condition can be experienced by both women and men following the procedure. Many women and men feel guilty about the choice to abort because the guilt symptom is just a human reaction to sin. They experience depression, anger and grief. Traumatized women may experience depression and the same cycle of emotions at the anniversary of aborting the child. Others will repress the memory of the procedure all together. In serious cases of Post Abortion Trauma, a woman could have hallucinations, flashbacks and even suicidal thoughts. Sexual dysfunction is also a symptom of this condition. Women may turn to alcohol or drugs for comfort from their grief or guilt as well. This is just another form of denial, a natural human response to sin.
Unfortunately, since Roe vs. Wade, many women have experienced the reality of aborting a child and its many side effects and complications. Some move on from it, without remorse, while others struggle with grief and guilt. Despite the many dangers, side effects, and the possibility of Post Abortion Trauma to the woman, the procedure is about the baby and the termination of a human life. The issue has divided our nation and become a struggle between the unborn's rights and the woman's rights. As pro-lifers encounter those women who are struggling with this issue, they should talk to them about abortion risks and God's will for their child's life. These women need to be reminded about the life of the child they carry. Caring people need to tell them to pray and talk with someone they trust. Their pregnancy doesn't have to end in murder. A child can be a blessing to them or a couple who can't have a child of their own. "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward." (Psalm 127:3)
