In the video, Abortion Facts, it has many facts about abortion. It also talks about how unborn children can feel pain and has many opinions of doctors. In the U.S. 3,300 unborn children die everyday. It also says that over 92% of abortions are done for “social or other” reasons. One doctor, Dr. Paul Ranalli stated “At 20 weeks, the fetal brain has the full complement of brain cells present in adulthood, ready and waiting to receive pain signals from the body.” In Prostaglandin Instillation, the doctor injects the amniotic sac with chemicals , which triggers labor of a child normally too young to survive.
This video was very informative. Knowing that babies can feel the pain and STILL going through with those awful procedures is so incredibly wrong. It seems like whoever has gone through with the processes that this video talks about is cold and heartless. I’m just so blown away by the statistics and how people can just go have an abortion done and not feel guilty about it at all..
Another video, although very graphic, I found at prolife.com, which took me to this website that had the video: http://www.massmediamail.com/durarealidad/
I cried when I watched ^ this video ^ and was appalled at the pictures and facts..

Risks of Abortion
In the book Abortion: Debating the Issues, by Nancy Day, it talks about the risks of abortion. There are many risks of getting an abortion, in both late term, and early abortions. These risks could include: blood clots, hemorrhages (which is extreme bleeding), tears or holes in the cervix or uterus, incomplete abortion (which means some fetal tissue may have been left inside), and infection. Most complications occur 1 in 100. The death rate from having an abortion has lessened significantly since
they’ve started because of medical advances, although, the death rate is higher among minority women and women over thirty-five. The passage also stated, “A seven year study… for the National Cancer institute found that having an abortion increases the woman’s breast cancer risk” (54). Though they are very rare, there are also emotional risks of having an abortion. Pro-life activists say there is a post-traumatic-stress disorder associated with abortion, but researchers say that the disorder doesn’t exist.
In my opinion, everything now-a-days has risks! Tylenol even does. Depending on if you think you won’t be that 1 in 100 or not probably has something to do with going through with the abortion. I was very surprised about your risk of getting breast cancer increasing; I guess I just never really thought about it. I do know, that if I was over thirty-five or a minority I definitely wouldn’t be getting an abortion because that increases your chance of death, and probably increases your chances for the other complications too.

Ending an Abortion
In the book Abortion: Debating the Issue, by Nancy Day, in the chapter “Ending a Pregnancy”, it talks about how there are some people who believe that abortion shouldn’t be allowed at all, and some, who believe that abortion is a legal right and when a woman wants one that there should be no questions asked. Mother Teresa said, “Abortion is a crime that kills not only the child, but the consciences of all involved” (34). There are some circumstances where legislation has permitted exceptions and specific conditions in which abortion can be performed. These circumstances could include: if the mother’s heath is in danger, if there’s fetal abnormalities, rape or incest, sex 
selection (only in cases where certain sex-linked diseases are carried), and a few more. There are also different methods used for ending a pregnancy. The most common is called vacuum aspiration (this method is used more than 98% of the time).
Also, the earlier an abortion is done, the safer it is.
In my opinion, I can easily see how certain circumstances could pressure you to want to have an abortion. For example, if you became pregnant after you were raped, you may not want to birth a child that would remind you of that, but you could also see it as a blessing and want to have the child. Also, I don’t agree with the whole “vacuuming” process. That process seems more inhumane than having an abortion in general. It’s even sad that it’s the most common way because to me, that just seems so wrong.
