Subj : Re: Question for Doc Sharon (and any other doctors out there) To : alt.tv.er From : LadyOO7 Date : Mon Sep 26 2005 13:46:38 From Newsgroup: alt.tv.er Oh, I don't buy into the religious fanaticism, though I've heard much of their vituperative spewing on the topic. I'm pro-choice, BTW. I never thought there was any validity to the scenario, just wanted some clarification. But hypothetically speaking, a botched/poorly performed abortion, or an incomplete/missed miscarriage *could* cause such problems, couldn't it?. I read a rather gruesome case (thanks to my Pathology professor), detailing a woman who had miscarried but retained the fetus is her womb. I don't recall whether she was in denial about having lost the baby or simply didn't realize it, but things deteriorated to the point where she developed sepsis and a hysterectomy was necessary. .
