Persuade others to choose Adoption over Abortion
• It’s more humane:
1. Suction abortion- they stick a vacuum inside the womans vagina and suck out random pieces of the baby. The baby is torn apart by the force of the suction in the vacuum.
2. Partial birth abortion- they pull the baby out till the head is the only thing remaining inside the mother, then they insert scissors in the neck, cut it open and suck the brain out. *The baby jerks and then drops.
3. Saline abortion- A needle is inserted through the abdomen to remove amniotic fluid. A strong salt solution is then injected, which poisons the fetus and badly burns the lungs and skin. The child is usually delivered within 24 hours. *This method is not used any more, since it can cause serious, even fatal risks to the mother.
• It’s less costly:
1. When considering adoption there is no cost. The adopting parents will pay for all medical and living expenses like: rent, utilities, maternity clothing, food, prenatal vitamins, and anything else not paid for by your insurance company.
2. Ranges from $500-$2,000 dollars for an abortion. May also be extra costs for ultrasound, morning after pill, birth control, and treatment if infections occur.
• Less fatal side effects:
1. Post abortion syndrome- like post pardom depression. Eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, suicidal urges, anxiety and panic attacks are just some of the symptoms of post-abortion depression abortion substantially increases the risk of breast cancer (a leading cause of female death) by overexposing the woman to the female hormone called estrogen. When a woman becomes pregnant the estrogen levels in her body rise 2000% in the first trimester and are only turned off by hormones produced in the third trimester. Women typically have abortions in the first two trimesters; this means that the hormone that stops the increase in estrogen is never secreted in abortees. In short, the woman’s body is overexposed to the estrogen causing the increased risk of breast cancer. However, breast cancer is only one of the countless physical and psychological side affects that women experience because of abortion. Having an abortion can result in haunting impacts on future pregnancies. For example, an abortion may lead to sterility, miscarriages, or stillbirths.
2. 155,000-204,000 women die due to abortion complications a year.
3. 10,000 a year die due to illegal abortions.
MOST COMMON COMPLICATIONS
Recent studies have revealed new evidence of damage created by abortion. Following legal abortion, you may have the following chances of complications.
Breast cancer: Recent studies have pointed out that there is what some might term a "dramatic relationship" between the rate of abortion and the rising incidence of breast cancer among women who have aborted. In fact, as the rate of abortion rises in America, so does the rate of breast cancer, with the most increased rate being among those women who have had abortions.

WOMEN AT HIGHER RISK FOLLOWING AN ABORTION
Several groups of women are at significantly higher risk for post-abortion problems. They should be particularly aware of the greater potential for complications.
Women under 20 two times greater risk of medical complications than for women aged 25-29. Canadian Journal of Public Health 1982; 73:396-400
