FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
For most women, abortion is known to have serious "physical, emotional and spiritual consequences", and the majority of them claim that they "wish they had been told all of the facts about abortion and its risks" (Option Line). |
Physical risks include, "bleeding, infection and damage to organs." The website goes on to explain that as the fetus develops more, the procedure becomes more risky, "medical complications occur infrequently in early abortions, but increase with later abortions" (Option Line). |
Although the website explains that bleeding after an abortion is common, another form of "bleeding known as hemorrhaging" which "one in 100 women use surgery to stop the bleeding" (OL). |
The damage to the organs that the website also explains that the "cervix and/or uterus may be cut, torn, or damaged by abortion instruments" which can lead to "excessive bleeding requiring surgical repair" (OL). |
Another rare complication that may occur in abortion includes death, "In extreme cases, complications from abortion (excessive bleeding, infection, organ damage from a perforated uterus, and adverse reactions to anesthesia) may lead to death" (OL). |
