On several occasions both in the seminars, talk shows and radio programs and I happened to be a speaker at the source. There were participants or broadcast audience who asked about abortion in particular risk - the risk that will happen afterwards. I tried to write back to my answer below:

Abortion has a high risk to health or safety of a woman. Is not true to say that if someone had an abortion she "did not feel anything and can go home immediately." This is a very misleading information for every woman, especially those who are confused because they do not want a pregnancy that has occurred. There are 2 kinds of health risks for women who have abortions:
1. Health and safety risks are physically
2. Risk of psychological disorders

Health and safety risks of physical
At the time of abortion after an abortion and there are some risks that will be faced by a woman, as described in the book Facts of Life, written by Brian Clowes, Phd namely:
1. Sudden death due to bleeding
2. Sudden death due to anesthesia failed
3. A slow death due to a serious infection around the womb
4. A torn uterus (Uterine Perforation)
5. Damage to the cervix (Cervical Lacerations) that would cause defects in the next child
6. Breast cancer (due to hormonal imbalance of estrogen in women)
7. Ovarian cancer (Ovarian Cancer)
8. Cervical cancer (Cervical Cancer)
9. Cancer of the liver (Liver Cancer)
10. Abnormalities in the placenta / placenta (Placenta Previa) which will cause defects in the next child and bleeding during pregnancy
11. Become sterile / no longer able to have offspring (Ectopic Pregnancy)
12. Pelvic infection (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease)
13. Infection of the lining of the uterus (endometriosis)

Mental health risks
The process of abortion is not only a process that has a high risk in terms of health and safety of a woman physically, but also has a powerful impact on a woman's mental state.
This phenomenon is known in the world of psychology as a "Post-Abortion Syndrome" (Post-Abortion Syndrome) or PAS. These symptoms are noted in the "Psychological Reactions Reported After Abortion" in the publication of The Post-Abortion Review (1994).
Basically, a woman who had an abortion will experience things like the following:
1. Loss of self-esteem (82%)
2. Screaming (51%)
3. Nightmares over and over again about the baby (63%)
4. Wanted to commit suicide (28%)
5. Started trying to use drugs (41%)
6. No longer able to enjoy sexual intercourse (59%)
Outside the things mentioned above the women who have abortions will be filled with feelings of guilt that is not lost for years in his life.
