Its the last day of the year 2015. Being a student of Medicine, and having come across a lot of young girls involved in abortion, I'm writing on the risk of abortion.

The risks include;
DEATH
The leading causes of abortion related deaths are hemorrhage, infection, embolism, anesthesia,
and undiagnosed ectopic pregnancies. Legal abortion is reported as the fifth leading cause of
maternal death in the United States, though in fact it is recognized that most abortion related
deaths are not officially reported as such.
BREAST CANCER
For women aborting a first pregnancy, the risk of breast cancer almost
doubles after a first-trimester abortion and is multiplied with two or more abortions.
This risk is especially great for women who do not have children. Some recent studies have
refuted this finding, but the majority of studies support a connection.
CERVICAL, OVARIAN, AND LIVER CANCER
Women with one abortion face a 2.3 relative risk of cervical cancer, compared to
non-aborted women, and women with two or more abortions face a 4.92 relative risk.
Similar elevated risks of ovarian and liver cancer have also been linked to single
and multiple abortions. These increased cancer rates for post-aborted women are
apparently linked to the unnatural disruption of the hormonal changes which accompany
pregnancy and untreated cervical damage.
UTERINE PERFORATION
Between 2% and 3% of all abortion patients may suffer perforation of their uterus,
yet most of these injuries will remain undiagnosed and untreated unless laparoscopic
visualization is performed. The risk of uterine perforation is increased for women who
have previously given birth and for those who receive general anesthesia at the time of
the abortion. Uterine damage may result in complications in later pregnancies and may
eventually evolve into problems which require a hysterectomy, which itself may result in
a number of additional complications and injuries including osteoporosis.
CERVICAL LACERATIONS
Significant cervical lacerations requiring sutures occur in at least one percent
of first trimester abortions. Lesser lacerations, or micro fractures, which would
normally not be treated may also result in long term reproductive damage. Latent
post-abortion cervical damage may result in subsequent cervical incompetence, premature
delivery and complications during labor. The risk of cervical damage is greater for
teenagers, for second trimester abortions, and when practitioners fail to use laminaria
for dilation of the cervix.
PLACENTA PREVIA
Abortion increases the risk of placenta previa in later pregnancies
(a life threatening condition for both the mother and her wanted pregnancy)
by seven to fifteen fold. Abnormal development of the placenta due to
uterine damage increases the risk of fetal malformation, perinatal death,
and excessive bleeding during labor.
HANDICAPPED NEWBORNS IN LATER PREGNANCIES
Abortion is associated with cervical and uterine damage which may
increase the risk of premature delivery, complications of labor and
abnormal development of the placenta in later pregnancies. These types
of reproductive complications are the leading causes of handicaps among
newborns.
ECTOPIC PREGNANCY
Abortion is significantly related to an increased risk of
subsequent ectopic pregnancies. Ectopic pregnancies, in turn,
are life threatening and may result in reduced fertility.
PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE (PID)
PID is a potentially life threatening disease which can lead to an
increased risk of ectopic pregnancy and reduced fertility. Of patients
who have a chlamydia infection at the time of the abortion, 23% will
develop PID within 4 weeks. Studies have found that 20 to 27% of patients
seeking abortion have a chlamydia infection. Approximately 5% of patients
who are not infected by chlamydia develop PID within 4 weeks after a first
trimester abortion. It is therefore reasonable to expect that abortion providers
should screen for and treat such infections prior to an abortion.
ENDOMETRITIS
Endometritis is a post-abortion risk for all women, but especially for
teenagers, who are 2.5 times more likely than women 20-29 to acquire endometritis
following abortion.
IMMEDIATE COMPLICATIONS
Approximately 10% of women undergoing elective abortion will suffer immediate complications,
of which approximately one-fifth (2%) are considered life threatening.
The nine most common major complications which can occur at the time of
an abortion are: infection, excessive bleeding, embolism, ripping or perforation
of the uterus, anesthesia complications, convulsions, hemorrhage, cervical injury,
and endotoxic shock. The most common "minor" complications include: infection, bleeding,
fever, second degree burns, chronic abdominal pain, vomiting, gastrointestinal disturbances,
and Rh sensitization.13
INCREASED RISKS FOR WOMEN OBTAINING MULTIPLE ABORTIONS
In general, most of the studies cited above reflect risk factors for women
who undergo a single abortion. These same studies show that women who have
multiple abortions face a much greater risk of experiencing these complications.
This point is especially noteworthy since approximately 45% of all abortions are repeats.
INCREASED RISKS FOR TEENAGERS
Teenagers, who account for about 30 percent of all abortions, are also at a much higher
risk of suffering many abortion related complications. This is true of both immediate
complications, and of long-term reproductive damage.
INCREASED RISK FOR CONTRIBUTING HEALTH RISK FACTORS
Abortion is significantly linked to behavioral changes such as promiscuity, smoking,
drug abuse, and eating disorders which all contribute to increased risks of health
problems. For example, promiscuity and abortion are each linked to increased rates
of PID and ectopic pregnancies. Which contributes most is unclear, but apportionment
may be irrelevant if the promiscuity is itself a reaction to post-abortion trauma or
loss of self esteem.
