The effects of abortion are two-fold: the unborn child is terminated, and the mother is physically, emotionally, and spiritually injured. But abortion is highly profitable to the people performing it. One doctor can perform tens of thousands of abortions for a fee of several hundred dollars apiece, totalling many millions of dollars.
The injuries to the mother from abortion include:
- increased risk of breast cancer
- increased risk of infertility, due to scarring resulting from the abortion
- if there are future-born children, increased risk of premature births that will cause the future children to suffer greatly
- several emotional problems, most notably depression[1]
- increased risk of suicide
- increased risk of other devastating problems
