	Abortion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Abortion, in its most common usage, refers to the deliberate early termination of a pregnancy, resulting in the death of the embryo or fetus.
		Medically, the term also refers to the early termination of a pregnancy by natural causes ("spontaneous abortion" or miscarriage, which ends 1 in 5 of all pregnancies, usually within the first 13 weeks) or to the cessation of normal growth of a body part or organ.
		Very late abortions can be brought about by the controversial intact dilation and extraction (D and X) or a hysterotomy abortion, similar to a caesarian section, and requiring the surgical decompression of the fetus's head before evacuation.

		And if Sweden decides to provide abortions to women from other EU countries, it would be unacceptable to maintain rules blocking women from outside the bloc from the procedure, Eriksson said.
		Allowing non-resident women to have abortions in Sweden was not expected to greatly increase the number of terminated pregnancies in the country each year.

	Mifepristone for Early Medical Abortion: Experiences in France, Great Britain and Sweden
		In France, the proportion of abortions performed at or before seven weeks from the onset of the last menstrual period increased from 12% in 1987 to 20% in 1997.
		Only 5% of all abortions in Sweden and fewer than 2% in Scotland are performed in private facilities, and provision of abortion services in the private sector has had little impact on the availability of medical abortion.
		Hence, the availability of medical abortion may lead to an increase in the proportion of all abortions that are performed at earlier gestations.

	Mifepristone for Early Medical Abortion: Experiences in France, Great Britain and Sweden
		Abortion rates might have declined more had mifepristone not been introduced, or mifepristone's introduction into environments where abortion services are fairly accessible might have had little impact on total use of abortion services.
		Only 5% of all abortions in Sweden and fewer than 2% in Scotland are performed in private facilities, and provision of abortion services in the private sector has had little impact on the availability of medical abortion.
		While a medical abortion takes longer and typically results in more side effects than surgical abortion, research on patients' evaluations of medical abortion in all three countries have found that the majority of women—often more than 90%—are satisfied with the procedure and would opt for the same method if a future termination were necessary.

	Roe v. Wade Day - Protecting Abortion Access
		Abortion today is the most common invasive surgical procedure in the United States.

		Although still mandating the approval of two doctors, this model law permitted abortions in instances where the woman's life or mental health was endangered, when pregnancy resulted from rape or incest, and when fetal deformities were present.

	Citizen Petition to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on RU 486
		Rosenberg cites the "inconsistent" nature of the association between spontaneous abortion and breast cancer as reason to doubt the underlying mechanism of early pregnancy interruption.[76] If susceptibility is increased by prevention of the tissue maturation that accompanies a full term pregnancy, induced or spontaneous abortions should have the same, risk-enhancing effect.
		After her second RU 486/PG abortion, this woman suffered from extreme fatigue for almost a month, along with an "extreme amount of bleeding" between administration of RU 486 and the prostaglandin.[95] For this individual, the RU 486/PG abortion experience was much more debilitating the second time.
		Further, although petitioners believe that the RU 486 abortion procedure cannot reach a controllable level of safety regardless of the approved conditions for its use, petitioners request that in the event that RU 486 is approved as an abortifacient, it be approved only for use in conjunction with prostaglandin analogs.

		Participants concluded that studies that claimed a connection between abortion and an increased risk of breast cancer were "flawed." Larger better-designed studies indicate NO link.
		In Denmark, abortions are both legal and free, so there are fewer reasons for women to have abortions after 18 weeks unless there are other medical problems.

		study, only measures the independent, additive effect of the abortion to a woman's breast cancer risk, ignoring the fact that abortion definitely leaves a woman at a higher risk of breast cancer than would apply had she chosen to carry the pregnancy to term.
		It is therefore quite misleading to state that abortion has no effect on future breast cancer risk, even if it could be shown not to increase risk beyond the "never having had that pregnancy" level.
		When induced abortion is studied as a risk factor, women with abortion are compared (as noted above) to women who did not have a pregnancy then, rather than to women who carried the pregnancy to term.

		One abortion malpractice case presently being handled by our firm involves a mother who through a botched abortion later had labor pains at home and was subsequently forced to confront the head of her twenty-one-week-old baby in her toilet.
		Abortion is not usually chosen as the immediate solution by rape and incest victims, despite the prevailing belief that it is. A woman has been raped and made pregnant: "Oh, she's got to have an abortion." No one has studied the rape and incest victims' needs; abortion is simply presumed to fill their needs.
		Furthermore, birth control counseling and abortion often indirectly contribute to the victim's sense of shame, guilt and blame for what is happening, since she is told to "take control" and "be responsible" for her "sexual activity" by having "safe, smart sex"-implying that this situation is, indeed, within her power to control.

		A woman who’s never experienced a full term pregnancy unknowingly subjects herself to greater risks for the disease by having an abortion because her breast cells are in an immature state and are especially vulnerable to carcinogens at that time.
