Since you brought up the fact about emotionally scarring it can be for a mother to give a child up for adoption, I’ll make this point: Do you think it would be emotionally scarring for a woman to have her fetus living inside her destroyed, without a chance to live?
Yes, I feel the pain of the women that have complications with their pregnancies, but what about the ones who just decide that they don’t WANT a baby? What about the ones that decide they aren’t ready for a baby? The ones that carelessly take the life of an innocent and helpless baby?
Are you familiar with the way that they actually abort a child?
Suction abortion: “Also called vacuum aspiration, this is the most common abortion technique in use today. In this procedure a suction tube is inserted through the dilated cervix into the womb. A powerful vacuum tears the placenta from the uterus and dismembers the body of the developing child, sucking the pieces into an attached jar. There is a risk that the uterus can be punctured during the procedure. Also, the abortionist must take care that all the body parts are removed from the womb, as infection and hemorrhage can occur if fetal or placental tissue is left in the uterus.”
D&C Abortion: ” In a D&C abortion, usually performed between seven and twelve weeks of pregnancy, the doctor inserts a curette, a loop-shaped steel knife, into the womb through the dilated cervix. As the curette scrapes the wall of the uterus, the baby is cut into pieces. Bleeding can be considerable. As with a suction abortion, there is a risk of infection or hemorrhage, so the abortionist must reassemble the body parts to make sure the uterus is empty.”
D&E Abortions: “This method is similar to a D&C, except that forceps must be used to grasp the baby’s body because of the child’s advanced development. The baby is dismembered as the abortionist twists and tears the parts of the body and slices the placenta away from the uterus. Bleeding is profuse. Although relatively safe for the mother, the procedure is devastating to the hospital staff and many doctors refuse to do advanced D&E abortions.”
Salt Poisoning Abortions: “”Salting out” is the second most common method of inducing abortion and is usually used after sixteen weeks. The doctor inserts a long needle through the mother’s abdomen and injects a saline solution into the sac of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby. The baby is poisoned by swallowing the salt and his skin is completely burned away. It takes about an hour to kill the baby. After the child dies, the mother goes into labor and expels the dead baby. Saline injections have been outlawed in some countries because of the risks to the mother, which can include lung and kidney damage if the salt finds its way into her bloodstream. In spite of the horrible burning effect, some babies have survived “salting out” and been born alive.”
Hysterectomy Abortions: “Similar to the Cesarean section, the hysterotomy abortion is a surgical procedure whereby the baby is removed from the mother’s womb and allowed to die by neglect or killed by a direct act. This method offers the highest risk to the mother and produces the most number of live births. Hysterotomy is used only for late term pregnancies, and is sometimes used if the salt poisoning or prostaglandin abortion has failed.”
Prostaglandin Abortions: “Prostaglandin is a chemical hormone which induces violent labor and premature birth when injected into the amniotic sac. Since prostaglandin results in an unusually high percentage of live births, salt, urea or another toxin is often injected first. The risk of live birth from a prostaglandin abortion is so great that its use is recommended only in hospitals with neonatal intensive care units. The risk to the mother is also greater with the use of prostaglandin; complications can include cardiac arrest.”
As you can clearly see, abortion can also emotionally AND physically harm a pregnant mother. Imagine knowing that your baby was injected with a salt solution and was still born live, with it’s skin burned off. Imagine that your baby was torn apart with forceps and then put back together to make sure that they got all of it. Imagine knowing that you allowed your baby to be sliced up by a steel knife.
Abortion not only takes the life of an innocent developing human being, it can also cause physical and emotional damage to the mother.
My heart breaks for all the women who have complications with pregnancy. My heart also breaks for all the innocent lives literally destroyed due to abortion.
