Immediate Complications From Abortion

Hemorrhage
Due to blood loss, patient may need transfusions.

Infection
Because parts of the baby may be left inside of the uterus or because of the lack of sterile conditions in the operating room, tubule infection with subsequent sterility can occur.

Damaged Cervix
Instruments used to stretch open the cervix during an abortion procedure can damage it. Miscarriage and premature delivery of future pregnancies may result.

Perforation of the Uterus
The curette can puncture the uterus. This cause peritonitis and can necessitate removal of the uterus, making a woman unable to have children.

Perforation of the Bowel
Punctures in the bowel can result from the use of abortion instruments, requiring a bowel resection. (Repair)

Delayed Complication From Abortion

Stillborn and Handicapped Babies
Women with RH_negative blood who fail to receive RHO_gam after the abortion procedure may be isoimmunized, endangering some future pregnancies.

Miscarriages
Women who have had abortions experience miscarriages at a 35% higher rate.

Premature Births
After multiple abortions, the risk of delivering a premature baby doubles and in some cases even triples.

Ectopic Pregnancies
In this pregnancy, the baby develops in the mothers fallopian tube, rather than in the uterus. It is a condition that significantly increases the risk of death to the mother.

Breast Cancer
For years medical studies and publications have shown that there may be a link between breast cancer and abortion; this is now a proven fact. Dr. Joel Brind has had his research published in the New England Medical Journal and the facts can not be denied. Research around the world shows that a woman’s first full pregnancy causes hormonal changes which permanently alter the structure of the breast. The completed process greatly reduces the risk of breast cancer. A premature termination of a first pregnancy interrupts this process. The breast cells are left suspended in a transitional state. Cells in this state face an exceptionally high risk of becoming cancerous. This stands to be true in pregnancies other than your first with slightly decreased risks.
