Abortion is a dangerous and painful procedure.
Early abortion is a very safe procedure performed under local or general anesthesia. Legal abortion entails half the risk of death involved in a tonsillectomy and one-hundredth the risk of death involved in an appendectomy. There is no such syndrome recognized by the American Psychological Association, the American Psychiatric Association, or the National Association of Social Workers. The emotional effects for most women who abort early are short-lived and not severe. Women who have abortions have trouble conceiving later in life.
