There are two casualties in every abortion – one dead; one wounded. Most people don\u2019t know the details involved in abortion. The is a one-sided view portrayed by media. People hear of the social, moral, even religious reasons for having or not having an abortion – but know little about the medical details.<\/span><\/p>

Many women make a decision to have an abortion without ever discussing the medical procedures or health considerations with anyone. No other procedure is performed with this degree of patient ignorance.<\/span><\/p>

In 1985, 1986 & 1987 the highest number of abortions were performed in the United States since Roe vs. Wade legalized abortion in 1973. 1.8 million abortions were done those years.

Simply put – a non-pregnant woman\u2019s uterus is small and tight (like a fist). The cervix is very soft. A pregnant woman\u2019s uterus is larger and soft and the cervix is tightly closed. Abortionists use pliers to open the cervix and dilators to stretch it. Many complications occur from the use of the knife, suction vacuum and scraper. There are a tremendous number of veins and arteries in this area and often tears and perforations occur, resulting in hemorrhaging. It is important to note that it is an additional charge to have anesthesia during an abortion.<\/span><\/p>
