Freedom of speech on abortion is so low and apathy so high that I am commonly asked–there are repercussions to having one? Women simply are not made aware. Yes there are, and documented by peer-reviewed medical analysis, not basement research operations.

Now those medical repercussions are not the main reason to avoid abortion; I would very much prefer to keep medical repercussions separate from the metaphysical issues of when life begins and why we should care.

That said, we should never conceal when women die after abortion. Remember Emma Beck, and now turn your thoughts toward Manon Jones, too. That’s her picture, above, with her dad. She died two weeks after her abortion. She was 18.
