Those who approve of abortion often assert that abortion must be legal so that it will be safe.
For numerous reasons, however, this conclusion is false…
Abortion Is NEVER Safe
The woman undergoing an abortion procedure is made vulnerable to the following problems (roll cursor over sentences for links to news stories):
Death
-
Planned Parenthood is loath to admit that legal abortion kills women. During 2008 “twelve mothers that we know of died from ‘safe and legal’ abortion in the U.S.”
-
“Abortion is more dangerous than childbirth.”
-
Government officials resist launching investigations into abortion deaths.
-
Tonya Reaves bled to death as the result of a legal abortion.
Even when the mother does not die, though, she is typically afflicted by other problems:
Depression
-
“Young adult women who undergo induced abortion may be at increased risk for subsequent depression.”
-
Chinese study finds link between abortion and depression among pregnant women.
-
“Study ‘debunking’ teen abortion/depression link” demonstrated as flawed.
-
A long-term risk of abortion is depression.
Infertility
-
When a woman “chooses” an abortion, “she may never get the chance again” to have a baby.
-
Ironically, governments have tried to combat infertility by giving money to abortion providers.
-
Numerous studies conclude that abortion can contribute to infertility.

Of course, the abortion is never safe for the child since the intention of the procedure is the death of the child. However, there are numerous cases in which the child survives the abortion procedure. The child then faces:
Infanticide
