Have women been helped by legal abortion?

Someone has profited, but not the woman who undergoes one: the abortion industry is a multi-million dollar machine.

The woman must undergo a humiliating procedure, an invasion deeper than rape, as the interior of her uterus is crudely vacuumed to remove every scrap of life. Some women will be haunted by the sound of that vacuum all their lives.

Abortion rhetoric paints the preborn as a parasite, a lump, a ‘glob of tissue’. In fact, it is the woman’s child, as much like her as any child she will ever have, sharing her appearance, talents and family tree. In abortion, she offers her own child as a sacrifice for the right to avoid change in her life, and it is a sacrifice that will haunt her.

She can lose her health. In addition to the women who experience a punctured womb or are killed on abortion tables, there are more subtly damaging effects. The opening of the uterus, the cervix, is designed to happen gradually over several days at the end of pregnancy. In many abortions the cervix is wrenched open in a matter of minutes. The delicate muscle fibres can be damaged – a damage that may go unnoticed until she is far into a later, wanted pregnancy, and then they give way in a miscarriage. By some estimates, the aborted woman’s chance of later miscarriages doubles.

The last loss is of her peace of mind.

Planned Parenthood have recently conceded that as many as 90% of aborted women may experience trauma after abortion.

A man who watched his wife gradually disintegrate after her abortion asked "What kind of trade-off is control of your body for control of your mind?"
