It can also lead to hemorrhage or sepsis. In many of these cases, the woman didn't realize she was pregnant or thought she had miscarried and didn't need further care. In the case of abortions performed without medical care, the risks are much more serious including sepsis, massive hemorrhage, damage to the reproductive organs, bowel and bladder, and even death. There are many reported cases of these things occurring back in the day before abortion became legal. Making abortion illegal won't make it disappear, it will just make it unsafe. Doc Sharon who just got back from vacation in Greece, hasn't seen the first two eppies and doesn't know if I care enough to do so. .
