Abortion Hurts Women Too
Abortion remains one of the most polarizing and controversial topics in society today. While debates often center around legal and ethical issues, it is essential to also consider the significant physical and mental effects that abortion can have on women. Multiple scientific studies and medical sources have documented the negative consequences of abortion, shedding light on why it can be detrimental to a woman’s health.
Physical Effects of Abortion
1. Increased Risk of Complications
Abortions, whether surgical or medical (chemical), can lead to various physical complications. According to a study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, complications from abortions include infection, hemorrhage, uterine perforation, and damage to the cervix (Grimes & Stuart, 2010). Severe bleeding and incomplete abortions requiring further surgical intervention are also common.
2. Future Pregnancy Risks
Women who undergo abortions may face increased risks in future pregnancies.

Empty Halls Hospital Rooms
Hospital rooms white walls wooded doors,
Silent halls blue floors lost in deep space the rooms so cold,
What had I done, floor made of stone.
Cuts covering me wrapped in white cotton,
Emotions dull but vibrationing voices hold me close,
Whispers speak to me, a quite lullaby,
My mind speaks to me 4 tones 4 voices grip the back and sides of my mind,
Within no memory to hold is caged by one of them each a different holder,
Dripping out in clips and flashs blend, I was only given what I could take Numbed from the skeletons in my veins,
Numbed expression but set on fire inside,
I see the world through blurry glasses to switch my minds,
Emotions unwind, the face appears the phantoms come forth a waking dissociative dream, faded like a ghost melted within me,
Disabled but I refuse to take rest or sleep, a doctor once tried to help but I turned in the future and walked away,
Flight or fight constantly runs through my blood,
Dysphoria,
Spit gender but a fragmentation of myself buried in pain
