Abortion
Considering abortion? Your health and safety are important.
Q: Should I be concerned about having an abortion?
Abortion is not just a simple medical procedure. For many women, is a
life changing event with significant physical, emotional and
spiritual consequences. Most women who struggle with past abortions
say that they wish they had been told all of the facts about abortion.
Q: What are the health risks to having an abortion?
Risks of any surgical abortion may include hemorrhage, infection,
infertility, and complications with future pregnancies (i.e.
incompetent cervix).
There may be other risks for you including emotional
complications. It is best to seek medical advice before proceeding
with any type of surgical procedure.
Q: Will having an abortion increase my chances of getting breast cancer?
A 1994 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found:
“Among women who had been pregnant at least once, the risk of breast
cancer in those who had experienced an induced abortion was 50% higher
than among other women.”
Q: Can I have a baby and still live my life?
You may see this unplanned pregnancy as a major roadblock in your
life. Thankfully, there are other routes that can get you back on
track. Be encouraged to know that many women in the same situation
have found the necessary help and resources to make positive choices
and realize their dreams.
Q: If I have an abortion, will my baby feel pain?
The answer to this question will depend on the stage of fetal development.
It has been determined that at about eight weeks a fetus can
feel pain. It is at this point in development that the following
necessary structures are in place: sensory nerves (which detect pain),
the thalamus (the part of the brain that receives pain messages from
sensory nerves), and motor nerves (which are directed by the brain to
pull away from the hurt).
In addition, by 13 1/2 to 14 weeks, the entire body surface,
except for the back and the top of the head, are sensitive to pain.
