Abortion is a painful procedure. It is stopping a normal, healthy process of life growing and continuing and not only terminates a life, but unnaturally upsets the mother’s body in the process. This can affect physical well-being, such as blood clots. Studies show a rise in breast cancer by women who have had abortions. This can also affect psychological well-being – women that have experienced abortions may suffer post-abortion grief, and depression. In fact, there are over 100 physical and psychological complications of abortion. It could even lead to infertility, so you may not be able to become pregnant later in life when you are more prepared for a child and want to raise a family. In other cases bleeding, and placenta problems could be a problem in later pregnancies.

Many women who have had abortions are surprised and disappointed when they later learn the truth. They are also amazed at how developed their baby was. Most pregnancies aren’t even detected by the time the heart is beating and brain waves can be read. The nervous system is complete at about two weeks into the pregnancy. Even though you may not be able to feel it yet the baby has been moving inside. By the 7th week all of the working parts of the body are in place. Internal organs are working. The baby is becoming sensitive to sound, pressure, heat, light and pain. All that is needed for birth of a baby is nourishment and time to grow. Your body is designed to shelter and protect this little one.
