Complications from abortions aren't uncommon, as your body doesn't consider the removal of a ordinary biological product of reproduction namely, the unborn baby, so it is not surprising the pill and procedures have numerous side effects.


You can have complications from having a tooth removed. Provided the procedure is done by qualified doctors, and the patient follows after care, complications are as low as 1%. It’s is a safe procedure.

So you're admitting abortion clinics are not healthcare providers then since they can't order those masks? Just so we're clear.

Another strawman. Did you get them in a sale or something?

They are safe, in general, but not "extremely safe", as there can be side effects, which happen even if you do everything like told. I mean, it can happen right in hospital, just soon after taking pill.

The varied complication rates for abortion are usually between 1.4-2.2% across the globe in places where they are reported

We either do, or do not have, that right.

Sure, but this thread is about right to abortion during an emergency. Not about every procedure that’s been put on hold. Or vasectomies. I get where you’re coming from, it’s about having a right to your reproduction. But that’s not the point here.

Wait, we're quibbling about the use of 'extremely'? Seems a rather trivial issue.

Every procedure carries risks. Provided it’s done well and aftercare is followed, risks of side effects are as low as 1%. That’s quite safe.

And given the anecdote previously used, I'd say the clinic did more than its due diligence in making sure the risk and repercussions of such complications were minimized.

Pretty much. I’m going to, however, remind some here that in the US, abortions are mostly carried out at clinics. Meaning? Their operation doesn’t take away from a hospital.

You are not understanding.
"Extremely safe" means "very low risk." Hospitalization is necessary in less than 1% of abortions, surgical or medical. That qualifies it as very low-risk.

You clearly are too wrapped up on your pet project to understand that this thread is about abortion as a right during an emergency. Not every procedure. But I’m too tired today to go in circles.

These are valid questions, why is abortion more rightful than other procedures of its kind.

There's a reason why we can close down most stores and leave grocery and pharmacy stores open (we recognize them as purveyors of essential goods). There's a reason why with the same we keep gun stores open (they are purveyors of a right).

But, and this is important, if we close down all voluntary medical procedures, even those that are time sensitive IE vasectomy or bone spur removal, but leave abortion providers open, we must have a reason why that is the exception to the general closure law. So far no one has said what that is yet.
