The Negative Effects of Abortion

Claire Culwell's mother noticed that she was pregnant when she was 13 years old. Claire 's mother grew up in a broken home and her mother was forced to abort within 5 months. Claire's mother believed abortion was a success, so she continued her life. But after four weeks my friend said to her that something seemed to have disappeared and said she should go back to see a doctor. It was when she knew she was still pregnant. Claire survived, but unfortunately her twin did not survive.

Many people do not realize that abortion is actually a dangerous procedure. Although technology is progressing, there is still a great potential for negative physical side effects, and almost certainly negative negative psychological side effects. Abortion is an unnatural process that destroys the main function of the body. Women's body naturally resists abortion and causes physical and mental problems. One of the most annoying things about this is that many women are not told about the side effects of abortion. In 1986 the Supreme Court ruled that women do not need to understand these risks before abortion. As a result, 80% of women in abortion stated that the counselor said "with little or no information on the potential health risks after surgery." 68% of people think that "... the program has no clear clarity" (Woman with abortion: David Reardon is no longer silent, Crossway Books, 1987).

Abortion is a legitimate medical procedure in the United States and women seeking abortion currently have nine states that require counseling on possible adverse effects she may experience. Research shows consistently that abortion is a safe medical procedure, but most women with abortion think that this is the right decision and have never experienced a negative psychological reaction afterwards . A social psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco, M. Antonia Biggs said, "There are several policies and decisions based on the assumption that abortion may harm women's mental health." Women who are refused abortion have more anxiety, lower self-esteem and lower satisfaction of life. "
