Do you think it is harmful?
Could you please define "harmful" in this context and does the question allow for where not having an abortion is "harmful" to the woman?

No... No it doesn't. As you know (because i've pointed this out to you everytime I see you post this remark) many abortions are carried out before there is any medical indication of a heartbeat.

Your really going to have to try and find another little phrase.

I had to answer yes, since it CAN be harmful to the woman. I do know, for sure, that legal abortion is much less harmful than illegal ones were.

Anecdote =/= data.
If it were true, they got their wish for birth control.

I also know women who had kids and became infertile before they reached menopause.
I would think that a doctor or medical professional might be able to make the determination that you say these women stated; not a layperson.
I can say anything I like about my body and why I got a hangnail, but that's simply conjecture on my part.

i would agree with this post.

abortion can actually kill a woman, so i don't know how anybody could vote no.

i don't think abortion should be made illegal, however, since women can also die trying to do their own abortions.

what this country needs is more education on other forms of birth control, and easy over the counter availability of various birth control methods.

There's a much greater chance of a woman dying from childbirth.
Should pregnancy be outlawed?

Oh DO provide me with a link to your published studies along with your REAL credentials......

Why do you use the word "admitted" as in "They admitted that it was from use of (abortion)?

Abortion isn't a crime, there's nothing to "admit".

And "they" are NOT doctors or scientists so have no way of knowing why they are infertile.



And , so what?

Women are adults and only they have the right to decide what procedures or medications they will use.

JUST LIKE MEN DO....Viagra, along with most prescription drugs, has serious side effects....should it be banned?


All medical procedures that have a risk be banned???

After Effects of Abortion - David C. Reardon.

Quote:
Researchers investigating post-abortion reactions report only one positive emotion: relief. This emotion is understandable, especially in light of the fact that the majority of aborting women report feeling under intense pressure to "get it over with."
Quote:
Temporary feelings of relief are frequently followed by a period psychiatrists identify as emotional "paralysis," or post-abortion "numbness." Like shell-shocked soldiers, these aborted women are unable to express or even feel their own emotions. Their focus is primarily on having survived the ordeal, and they are at least temporarily out of touch with their feelings.
Studies within the first few weeks after the abortion have found that between 40 and 60 percent of women questioned report negative reactions. Within 8 weeks after their abortions, 55% expressed guilt, 44% complained of nervous disorders, 36% had experienced sleep disturbances, 31% had regrets about their decision, and 11% had been prescribed psychotropic medicine by their family doctor.
In one study of 500 aborted women, researchers found that 50 percent expressed negative feelings, and up to 10 percent were classified as having developed "serious psychiatric complications ."

I think it has to do with hiding behind religion and not wanting to deal with real life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mentality? Unless you have a direct 1-800 direct dial to god and he told you what was up? ****.. moving forward....
Anyone can quote scripture but it is this really gods word?
Pretty sure the Pope who is the head of the Catholic Church if I'm not mistaken had a meeting with Nasty Nancy about this very topic.

So yes even you "updated" Catholics believe that abortion is a sin.

Everyone has a right to their own beliefs as long as it doesn't infringe on another.
When I start paying for it, it's my business. If you don't want people making choices about your healthcare and you are for Obamacare you are a hypocrite because they are going to make all the choices for you.

So you don't like Obamacare because you mistakenly believe "they" make all the choices for you....(and ignore the Health Insurance companies who really do make the decisions).




Yup, YOU hate the thought of others making YOUR decisions but YOU feel perfectly content to take away CHOICE from women.
