Abortions can bring harmful effects

Letter to the Editor Telegraph Journal (published) Sept. 15, 2014

The recent ad exposing the harmful effects from abortion, dispels any myths that abortion is good for women’s health.

One of these common myths perpetrated by abortion advocates, is that complication rates from abortion is less than one per cent. The ad places that number more likely at three to 11 per cent. My own research based on a study done by Echo (a self proclaimed pro-choice organization funded by the Ontario government in 2011) corroborates this, with complication rates between 6.95 per cent and 8.05 per cent.

To argue in favour of abortion using women’s health as the reason, is in and of itself, harmful to women.
