That's one of the biggest problems I have with the abortion issue -- pro-choicers have to lie to maintain the public's acceptance. They don't want anyone to know that, despite the fact that abortion is legal, it's still a dangerous procedure. So, clinics refuse to call ambulances. Sometimes, a clinic will not bring the woman to the hospital, opting instead to attempt treatment in the clinics, despite the fact that they don't have the proper equipment. The public never hears about the injuries and deaths that occur in these clinics to the women who seek their services, and so, the public continues to believe, erroneously, that abortion is safe.

They also lie to the woman during the examination, telling her that they cannot determine the sex of the child, or telling her that she's not as far along as she originally thought, or that she does not have twins. They do not let her see the sonogram. Therefore, women, especially those who would be prone to change her mind if she knew everything about the status of her pregnancy, are duped into undergoing the abortion.

They also lie about the reasons women have abortions. It's not because of rape, incest, life of the mother, or a severely deformed child. It's the "Ooops" factor -- young, unmarried women "had an accident" that "needed to be taken care of."

Leaving religion out of it, nobody who is intellectually honest with themselves can support the pro-choice movement. It requires amazing mental gymnastics to justify their cause.

How often do you hear about deaths caused by internal bleeding after a tummy tuck? Or the number of Americans who have their lungs accidentially punctured during heart surgery? The numbers are there if you want to look, but doctors don't exactly advertise.

Here's an article, the posted opinion (from the UK) of a woman who has had 5 abortions and is proud of them:

Abortion: still a dirty word
