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.

I couldn't comment on your video post so I am putting that grade here too. There was no MLA citiation so you got a 45/50. I opted not to watch the videos since you said they made you cry :(
ReplyDeleteIn your book source, is this only regarding late term abortions or even early ones too? Only problem I saw in the response was the dreaded defiantly instead of definitely.
Good job. 100
