Top 4 Cons of Abortion
3. Physical and Mental Effects
There are many side effects that affect women both physically as well as mentally post abortion. Excessive bleeding and infections can lead to fever and there have been cases where women have even lost their lives. Nervousness before or after abortion can lead to nightmares, affecting the mental health in women. When you get an abortion done, you put your body through a lot of difficulty and even though you may not realize, you are just killing yourself slowly. Post abortion complications are very common and lead to several other ailments. Most women experience bleeding up to 30 days and beyond. This can even lead to a hemorrhage and can get to a point where blood transfusion or surgery may be required. As trivial as it may sound, insertion of surgical tools can lead to scarring of the pelvic organs. It can also lead to an infection of the whole body known a sepsis in extreme cases, resulting in death.
4. Psychological Effects
Irrespective of how much you may console yourself that the abortion was the ‘only choice’, it does not change the fact that a life was lost or killed, to put it crudely. Most women suffer from PAS (Post-Abortion Syndrome) experiencing ‘impacted grief’ which festers within oneself while other people assure that no real death has occurred. Also the guilt of having done something wrong lingers on the minds of women. But on the other hand, they are not able to mourn properly due to the denial by people surrounding them. All this leads to severe psychological problems like becoming aggressive or reclusive. Nightmares and flashbacks are also common occurrences in women suffering from post-abortion syndrome. It is difficult enough putting yourself through the pain of abortion. But do not let this affect the life of people who love you. Make a conscious choice and do not make a hasty decision of getting an abortion.
The reasons listed have scientific and medical backing. But to us, the most important reason not to have an abortion is to live with yourself for the rest of your life with a clean conscience. The thought and guilt of having done something bad and taking a life for no reason is something we cannot live with and we are sure you would resonate this feeling. If you get pregnant, weigh your options. Abortion may not always be the right choice.
