The financial costs of continued pregnancy, childbirth and raising a child are also much more than abortion, although many women may have insurance or be eligible for Medicaid insurance coverage for the costs of prenatal care and childbirth. Parenthood has both benefits and risks that vary widely depending upon the individual and her unique circumstances. You should carefully consider the risks, benefits and costs of continued pregnancy in your situation before deciding upon an abortion. The termination of a pregnancy before it has continued too far has various benefits, depending upon the individual. Abortion allows you to postpone pregnancy until a better time for you.
Abortion is a form of minor surgery which, like all surgery, has certain risks.
Medicine and surgery are not exact sciences. Complications, both major and minor, can occur in a small percentage of cases, no matter how experienced and competent the doctor is. As you read on you will see listed the complications that most frequently occur. You will be asked to sign this statement indicating that you understand the risks and problems before you have an abortion. Please read this form carefully so that you understand that we cannot guarantee that the results obtained from the abortion procedure will always be perfect.
