The Decision To Abort: How To Face The Determination?
Knowing in advance what consequences are the most common before and after the process is essential to make the decision to abort with maximum knowledge of the facts.

There may be many reasons why a woman chooses to undergo an abortion, taking into account aspects such as family economic instability, the impossibility of raising another child, youth or immaturity, health problems of the fetus or the mother and even cases of incest and rape The important thing in any of these situations is that the woman decides for herself which option is the most appropriate for her case, always thinking about her feelings and what she expects from her future life at the family level.
Among the main questions that women who have not yet made the final decision usually ask themselves are questions such as
Am I ready to be a mother?
Would you prefer to have a child at another time?
Is there someone pressuring me to have an abortion?
What importance do I give to what others will think?
This complete table of doubts and answers is what must be completed to take or not take the final step towards terminating the pregnancy.
Emotional imbalance, among the main consequences

In addition to the mortality resulting from abortion, which in 2008 affected approximately 47,000 women around the planet, other complications are added that, if not carried out in expert hands, can put the physical and psychological integrity of these people at risk.
Feeling sad, regretful, angry or guilty after having an abortion is a common symptom, especially because it is a very delicate procedure on an emotional level and one that must be taken with total conviction. How much The more advanced the pregnancy process is, the more risky the termination of pregnancy is and the more difficult the decision is. For this reason, it is recommended to take a firm position as soon as possible, remembering that a safe, uncomplicated and timely abortion does not have to affect future pregnancies.
