It is difficult to relax about the subject of abortion. Your "God" will ensure that women handle it thing is simplistic and way out there. Perhaps you would like to explain yourself? I haven't had an abortion, because I was taught about birth control and self control. It is atrocious that the fetus has to sacrifice it's life for societal ineptitude. M

RE: I would encourage young women to look for other answers. They will not get other answers at Planned Parenthood. A young pregnant girl who goes to PP will only be given one choice, abortion. All other choices will be stated to be irresponsible. In fact, PP has a smear campaign out against Abortion alternative providers (i.e. Crisis Pregnancy Centers). Why is that? If PP was solely interested in women's health, why would they lash out at abortion alternatives? If PP believed in choice, why would they not fully inform women of the risks involved in abortion? To hear most pro-choicers, abortion is simply removal of a few cells of parasitic tissue from a woman's body. I have seen stats that suggest that as many as 20% of all abortions have complications, one of the most frequent being the puncture of the uterus wall. If a girl has an abortion and the very violent procedure punctures her uterus, then her best prognosis is sterility (after radical hysterectomy) and worst is death if the puncture is undetected for just a few days. Nevertheless, PP and most pro-choice liberals would have it that any twelve year old could get an abortion without parental involvement. I have a friend who got his 14-yearold girlfriend pregnant. The school counselor sent them to PP (its just a little tissue), she had an abortion. Three days later, she started bleeding. At 14, she was sterile. My argument is that the pro-choicers dare to suggest that the state has the right to send my precious daughter to an abortion mill without my consent. That one day, I could learn that my daughter was sterile or dead because she was steered to a very risky medical procedure without my consent or knowledge by some agenda-driven counselor who could care less about her well-being.

A study from one of the most prestigious medical centers in the world, John Hopkins University, reported: "Occurrence of genital tract infection following elective abortion is a well-known complication." This institution reports rates up to 5.2% for first trimester abortions and up to 18.5% in midtrimester. Burkman et al., "Culture and Treatment Results in Endometritis Following Elective Abortion," Amer. Jour. OB/GYN, vol. 128, no. 5, 1977, pp. 556-559. Note that the incidence of complication is nearly 20% for second trimester. Can you give please tell me of any medical procedure other than abortion for which the medical community, the govt, or the press, would accept 20% rate of complication. Especially when the result of the complication is sterility or death. If women's health was really the primary concern of Planned Parenthood and NARAL, don't you think that they would be publishing this data, rather than suppressing it?
