- When an abortion is performed on a woman, she becomes subject to many physical complications. Blood loss during the procedure causes diversion of blood flow to various organs and can result in shock. When the canal of the cervix is dilated, the insides of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and the abdominal cavity are exposed to invasion by bacteria. Abdominal infection can cause peritonitis and abscess formation. Severe hemorrhage often follows an abortion. Instruments can perforate the uterus causing injury, infection, and bleeding to internal organs. Heavy bleeding might sometimes cause death.
- Not only do these women bear physical side effects, but they also suffer many emotional side effects. Among these are depression, long-term grief reactions, anger, sexual dysfunction, guilt, flashbacks, memory repression, suicidal ideas, and difficulty keeping close relationships. Of two hundred and sixty women surveyed in the United States, over sixty percent said their abortion made their life worse.
- It is not normal for a woman to kill her child. One of the major effects of having an abortion is guilt. The mother who has aborted her child will at times feel intense guilt for destroying her child's life. In the Bible, God gave mankind the Fifth Commandment. Whenever anyone breaks a commandment they will feel guilt and sorrow for the evil they have done. The Catholic Church teaches that if a woman has an abortion she has committed a mortal sin. Any mortal sin separates us from God and the penalty for mortal sin is hell.
