Women Want to Know of Abortion Risks Beforehand, New Survey Shows

In the ranking of risks, women placed mental and emotional health consequences very high on the list -- only slightly below the risk of death or heart disease.

And the baby butchers should be required to disclose all of this.

Id say the #1 risk is to the life of the baby. Followed closely by the risk of going to hell on the guilt ridden express train.

Uh oh, this is not good news for NOW or Planned Parenthood. For groups that claim to be so concerned about women, they sure like to keep them in the dark when it comes to abortion, but then it might not serve the agenda...

"A new survey shows women considering an abortion want to know information about the risks and dangers associated with it beforehand."

Hooey! This infringes on the rights of the Doctors that are trying to calm the patient before cutting the baby out, whether alive or not. Call the ACLU! (sarc)

Well said.

I think, in order to let prospective abortion customers fully understand the risks, they ought to go through an exercise (or see a film with hollywood quality special effects) where they imagine themselves resting peacefully in the warmest, most comfortable bed they have ever known...having perfect dreams...totally provided for without a care in the world...and then, suddenly, a nightmare begins...

Planned Parenthood, NOW, NARAL, etc. will never let this study become prominent news. The Dems will never allow this type of advice to become law. The entire Left is invested in keeping women in the dark about complications, repercussions, all the bad things that could happen. They would lose a lot of money from the abortion providers. Sadly, the likelihood of sterility is one complication that is not discussed. An abortion can affect the rest of a woman's life in ways that she never contemplated. I doubt adoption is ever discussed at the abortion mills. What a sad state of affairs.

Risks?

Well, for one thing -- half of the patients die.

A baby's heartbeat (NOT 'a fetus'! A baby!) is visible on a sonogram at approx. 6 weeks. I think there should be a law requiring a woman to see an ultrasound of the life inside her, to see that tiny blinking heartbeat, beating away, and be told of all the things that are going on with that baby's development at whatever stage the baby is at. Here's a great website they should be required to read up on as well!

I couldn't agree more!

[HitmanLV]

Yea, that little thing called 'informed consent' loses its punch when it isn't all that 'informed.'

[Lexinom]

They're concerned about the risks of Plan B causing the abortion of an already-existing human being, no doubt...

[Lexinom]

Hello? What exactly do the DEMs have to do with it? The R's control the White House, the Senate, and the House. They were put there through standard electoral processes in which every eligible voter had a chance to participate.

No, the real problem here is with a culture that has come to tolerate, accept, and even build with the assumption of legal abortion-on-demand. We're all conditioned to its normalcy due to 30+ years of legalization. We don't care. Without a prick in conscience we can turn about and (rightfully) condemn the brutal policies of Hitler and Stalin while remaining blind to the holocaust that dwarfs their actions unfolding in our own backyard.

We don't care.

We need abortion.

It's all about us (the strong), and our convenience.

A baby is a commodity, like an automobile. Don't want it? Throw it out.

REALLY???? These women actually want to know the risks before a surgical procedure???!! How unbelievable!(sarcasm)

[originalbuckeye]

Sorry to disagree. It would be really nice if the Republicans actually did have control of the Senate and the House. Sadly the Republicans cannot get anything done unless there are a few Democrats who will support the cause. It's called a filibuster and the Dems have not let anything pass that they didn't want to pass. There is no bi-partisanship effort on the part of the Democrats. Now if the Republicans had 60 votes in the Senate they could get something done. They really should go back enforcing the 'old' filibuster rule. You have to keep talking until you're done, then bring it up for a vote. These days a filibuster just means the end to anything the Republicans want to legislate.

[originalbuckeye]

One more thing. I believe 7 women have died after taking Plan B. Incomplete abortions resulting in lethal infections. Now Plan B is over the counter with only an age restriction. Hillary is quite happy with the new availability of the drug; she also wants the age restrictions lifted. What do the Dems have to do with it?

I can vouch for this, absolutely. When I was a young student nurse, I had to do a rotation at PP and I never once heard them tell a patient about the risks of this choice.

[Victoria Delsoul]

What are the risks? Killing a human being .... oh, you mean to them?
