Abortion Procedures and Techniques:
If you decide to abort your pregnancy, there are varying abortion procedures that you may experience, which are dependent on the current term of your pregnancy. First trimester abortions, for instance, could be completed through suction aspiration, a D&C, or a Methotrexate injection. Whereas, second trimester of late-term abortions could use salt poisoning instillation, a D&E, or a partial-birth abortion method. Because certain methods or techniques may be against personal or religious beliefs, it's important to be fully aware of all aspects of abortion before you make your decision.
Abortion Risks:
As with any procedure, there are risks involved in getting an abortion. As mentioned earlier, in order to make an informed decision, you must understand what you're agreeing to. When it comes to the risks of abortion, there are both physical and psychological risks to consider. Here is just a small sampling:
- Death
- Infection and Inflammation
- Lacerations and Perforations
- Higher Risk of Breast, Cervical, and Ovarian Cancer
- Complications in Later Pregnancies: Pre-Term Labor and Ectopic Pregnancy
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or Post-Abortion Syndrome
- Sexual Dysfunction
- Feelings of Loss, Guilt, Shame, and Depression
Part of knowing the risks of an abortion involves learning about abortion survivors. There are times, especially during late-term abortions, when the child survives and is either left for the chemicals to take affect or is cared for medically and then placed in a foster home. When children survive abortions, most are left with deformities, disfigurements, and problems to deal with for the rest of their lives, which can range from a few short hours to an average lifespan.
Abortion Law Info:
When researching abortion laws, remember that each state has its own set. Therefore, it's crucial that you research your state's abortion laws, so you know if you need to travel to a different state. Many of the differing abortion laws refer to the term of pregnancy when abortions are allowed. Some only allow abortions to be performed in the first trimester. Some allow late-term abortions, which is considered the second or third trimesters.
Common Reasons People Choose Abortion:
There are many reasons people choose to abort their pregnancies. Here are just a few:
- Unplanned Pregnancy
- Teenage Pregnancy
- Extramarital Pregnancy
- Unwed Mother
- Not Ready to Parent
- Health Defect in Child
Abortion is a multi-faceted topic. There are risks and complications to consider before you can make an informed decision. Remember that this needs to be your decision. No one should pressure you into a decision you're not ready to make.
