Complications of abortion

Complications of abortion are more common than reported. Typically the abortionist does not have privileges at a local hospital and women suffering from complications must proceed to the emergency room to be examined by physicians unfamiliar with what happened.

As the abortionist Dr. Warren Hern observed:[1]

“  |  In medical practice, there are few surgical procedures given so little attention and so underrated in its potential hazards as abortion. It is a commonly held view that complications are inevitable. The reasons for this are not difficult to find. Abortion has been a stigmatized operation by the medical community for centuries. Medical teaching facilities have considered abortion too simple a procedure to merit serious instruction in its performance and provision as a medical service  |  ”
