Abortion: More than a Woman's Choice; a Good Choice

First trimester surgical abortion is a very common, effecective, and safe procedure (Tristan et al.,2009). Psychological counseling, along with medical advice can lead to good outcomes. Complications of first trimester abortions result in only 0.5% of all cases which includes incomplete abortions, infections, uterine perforations, etc.
Infectious complications may result in death. However, in places where abortions are legal, the actual risk of infection is low, and rarely results in death or sepsis. Yet another very significant finding that supports legalized abortion.
