Video Description:Pregnant and not ready to be a parent? Here are the facts on having a surgical abortion at a doctor's office.
Transcript:Surgical abortions are effective at terminating pregnancy 99 percent of the time. If you are considering an abortion, you may find the following information helpful. A vacuum aspiration, the most common surgical abortion, can be performed anytime during the first twenty weeks of pregnancy. This procedure takes about thirty minutes and is generally performed under local anesthesia. During the abortion, the cervix is stretched open using dilators or prescription medication, and a flexible tube is inserted into the uterus. Then, a hand-held suction device or a suction machine gently empties the contents of the uterus. After a surgical abortion, many women experience strong cramping or bleeding and may pass blood clots from the vagina. For this reason, a doctor may prescribe a pain killer post-abortion. Having an abortion can be very difficult. Afterwards, many women experience strong emotions ranging from relief to regret. If you are considering a surgical abortion, or you are recovering from one, you are not alone! Talk to your doctor about local counseling or support groups.

Over half of all women who obtain an abortion were using some form of contraceptive the month they became pregnant, just so we are clear. How about we stop judging people for the choices they are making to their own body and understand the reasons why a woman would obtain an abortion in the first place. Most cannot afford to have a child and feel they have a responsibility to the dependents they already have. Why would we want unwanted children in a society that has more citizens already in undeserved poverty. Women who want to have an abortion are going to have one with or without it being legal.

"God gave us all free will. Neither I, nor anyone else has the right to limit someone else?s" -thejerry God also gave us moral law. did you know putting someone in jail or punishing someone for murder, rape, theft, fraud, etc.. is limiting their free will? if you truly believe that no one should be allowed to limit my choices then murder, rape, theft, fraud, etc. should not be against the law, and i should do as i please even if it ends the life of another example: abortion. do you see where that kind of insane thinking gets us?

God gave us all free will. Neither I, nor anyone else has the right to limit someone else?s will especially when the action occurs within the confines of their own skin. The consequences of that act of will are the sole responsibility of the decision maker, and are none of my, or your, business.

IF YOUR NOT READY TO BE A MOMMY THEN YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT EVERYTIME YOU HAVE SEX WITH SOMEONE WHY SHOULD A BABY DIE BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU CAN HAVE SEX WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE! IT MAKES ME SICK YES ITS GOOD AMERICA IS A NATION THAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICE............BUT WHEN THAT CHOICE INVOLVES KILLING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING THEN IT CROSSES A LINE! SO KEEP ON HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX AND LIVING YOUR LIFE SELFISHLY YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR MISTAKES AND THE BAD DECISIONS YOU MAKE LATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish there could be a liberal website providing sex related information that doesn?t also encourage abortions or devalue the controversy of abortion.
