Rochester,
MN (LifeNews.com) — A physician who works for the prestigious
Mayo Clinic has written a new factsheet that admits abortions harm
women. Roger W. Harms, M.D., a Mayo Clinic obstetrician and medical
editor-in-chief, also says abortions can cause women problems with
subsequent pregnancies.
The
Mayo Clinic posted Dr. Harms' new factsheet, with the title "Does
it affect subsequent pregnancies?" on August 6.
Harm
says there are definitely cases when physicians see "an abortion
cause problems in a subsequent pregnancy."
"During
a surgical abortion, the fetus is removed from the uterus — often
with a vacuum device, a syringe or a spoon-shaped instrument with
a sharp edge (curette) — as an outpatient surgical procedure,"
Harms explains.
In
some cases, "a surgical abortion may weaken the cervix or cause
scarring on the inside of the uterus."
"If
such damage occurs, surgery may be needed to correct the problems
before a woman can conceive again or carry a subsequent pregnancy
to term," he said.
