AboutPat G Expertise I can help women with the consideration of their decision, and with resources, and I can share my own experiences as the mother of seven and grandmother of six. My approach is to show love and concern, and help women work through the issues, emotional, spiritual, practical. I also help women deal with boyfriend and family issues.
Experience I have been working with women who are considering abortion for several years. I also work with women who have had abortions. Our family has also experienced adoption, so I can talk about that as well.
Education/Credentials I am mostly self-taught. I also studied midwifery for awhile. I have spent years doing research on this topic. In fact, I have been doing research and working in this area since the early 1970's. I have been helping women online for a few years, under the guidance of a woman who was formally training in counseling.
Question im currently 8 weeks pregnant and next week im having an abortion. i have 2 kids . i am rh negative. Do i need to get the rhogam shot even if im not planning to have another child?
Answer Hi, Jess,
To answer your question, yes, you should get the shot, because you might change your mind about having more children, and you might get pregnant and decide to bear your child.
I urge you not to have an abortion, however. Abortion is dangerous and can kill you or make you seriously disabled. It can cause you to lose your interest in life. Our bodies were made to protect our children, and the only way they can do an abortion is to harm us in some way. A lot of abortionists don't sterilize their instruments correctly, if at all. Some of them re-use disposable instruments. A woman can get a massive infection, including a sexually transmitted disease or HIV. They are operating on soft tissue with a sharp knife, and they can't see what they are doing. Lacerating or puncturing a woman's uterus is a real possibility. Some women die from this. They can injure other body organs. The number of women who are dying from abortion is being concealed. Usually, if a woman goes to the emergency room and dies, the doctor reports death from the complication, not the abortion, even though the complication would never have occurred if she hadn't had an abortion. A woman can die from anesthesia, especially since it is rare for an abortionist to have a trained anesthesiologist on his staff. Usually, an untrained person administers it. Some women don't die, they just become paralyzed or unable to communicate. A lot of abortionists are being shut down by local health authorities because their facilities are filthy.
Abortion can also increase a woman's chances of developing breast cancer.
And then there is the emotional aftermath. A woman's reaction to abortion can cause serious emotional repercussions. Her chances of dying a violent death in the year following an abortion is increased several times. It can be by suicide, homicide, accident, drug or alcohol abuse, or she can become self-abusive and engage in cutting. Or she can become anorexic or bulimic. Abortion often breaks up relationships, even marriages.
You will find this out eventually anyway, so I will tell you now while you still have a choice. Your baby is already fully formed. She has brain waves. She can move around freely, and she can dream. She can feel pain. Abortion would be excruciating. They'll tell you the baby can't feel anything. Don't believe it. Just the looks on the faces of aborted children shows they died an agonizing death.
They'll tell you abortion is safer than childbirth. Don't believe it! Abortion causes problems with future pregnancies, and can present life-threatening conditions that may result in Caesarian. And Caesarian is the leading cause of death in laboring women.
Afterward, a woman can have a tubal pregnancy. This is because scarring in the uterus can prevent a zygote from moving down the Fallopian tube into the uterus. Tubal pregnancy is a death sentence for the baby, and threatens the mother's life. Emergency surgery is required.
Abortion can also cause damage to a woman's reproductive system, so that she will be unable to carry a baby to term. This can result in miscarriage or extreme prematurity. Extreme prematurity causes cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism.
What would you do if having an abortion harmed you? You have children to take care of. They need you. Please don't risk your life and health this way!
If you need any kind of help to carry your baby to term, please let me know. I can tell you where to get the help you need. I will pray for you and your family. Please stay safe!
