The lack of reference material supporting their data is troublesome. For instance "For most women, abortion is not a threat to mental well-being". From where did they derive this "fact". They make no mention of suicide rates tied to abortion. A young lady whom I took to an Abortion Mill when I was but a youngster, was still grieving 10 years later.

In pregnancies of > 12 wk, dilation and evacuation (D & E) is the method most commonly used. In this procedure, the cervix is dilated (usually with multiple laminaria or other osmotic dilators). Forceps are used to dismember and remove the fetus, and a 14- to 16-mm (about 1.5 cm) suction cannula is used to aspirate the amniotic fluid, placenta, and fetal debris. In more advanced pregnancies, multiple laminaria may be used to gently dilate the cervix to 3 to 4 cm to make the evacuation easier and safer. D & E requires more skill than does suction curettage. My friend, read past the sterile medical lingo and see what they are saying. Jeffery Dahmer dismembered dead people, and the nation expressed shock. If a person dismembered a newborn baby one appendage at a time, the nation would be shocked, and the person would likely get the death penalty? How is it then that a doctor can dismember an unsedated baby 1 appendage at a time and we call it medicine? Just because the baby is still in mom's womb (even at 9 months). Don't you understand that the baby will jerk violently during this "medical procedure"? Have you for one minute considered the extreme pain inflicted on this most helpless person? I shudder at the callousness to which we have become accustomed.
