The following is from http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_induced_abortion.html#12 . (see also The World Health Organization).
• The risk of abortion complications is minimal: Fewer than 0.3% of abortion patients experience a complication that requires hospitalization.
• Abortions performed in the first trimester pose virtually no long-term risk of such problems as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) or birth defect, and little or no risk of preterm or low-birth-weight deliveries
• Exhaustive reviews by panels convened by the U.S. and British governments have concluded that there is no association between abortion and breast cancer. There is also no indication that abortion is a risk factor for other cancers.
• In repeated studies since the early 1980s, leading experts have concluded that abortion does not pose a hazard to women’s mental health.
• The risk of death associated with abortion increases with the length of pregnancy, from one death for every one million abortions at or before eight weeks to one per 29,000 at 16–20 weeks—and one per 11,000 at 21 or more weeks.
• Fifty-eight percent of abortion patients say they would have liked to have had their abortion earlier. Nearly 60% of women who experienced a delay in obtaining an abortion cite the time it took to make arrangements and raise money.
• Teens are more likely than older women to delay having an abortion until after 15 weeks of pregnancy, when the medical risks associated with abortion are significantly higher.Your comments are disturbing to say the least. Moreover, your information about the effects of abortion is wrong.

That doctor took many lives that he had no right to take. That does not mean that all pro-lifers are murderers. Most of us will not take the law into our own hands but we will try to change the law. Abortions are murder. Abortions are also dangerous in themselves. Women have a higher change of getting breast cancer when they have an abortion done. Also, many women end up having psychological problems after they have an abortion. Not to mention the infections women get because body parts of the infant are not completely taken out of their bodies. On top of it all, this is a women's website yet you have nothing to say about the fact that most abortions are done to infants that are found to be female. Women are victims of the abortion procedure just because of the culture that tells us that women are inferior to men.First of all, the death of the abortionist is sad.
