Question
Is it ok to have an abortion 4 weeks apart from each other.

Answer
Hi, reggie,

It's not OK to have an abortion in the first place! Abortion is dangerous, and can kill you or render you seriously disabled. It can prevent you from being able to have a normal pregnancy and baby in the future. It can cause you to develop breast cancer. It can also make a woman suicidal, and heightens her risk of dying a violent death in the year following. I can give you a list long enough to fill a book of all the damage it can cause. I have literally talked to women right here who probably didn't survive. I have talked to suicidal women, staying up all night to keep them from doing it. That is the scariest experience I have ever had in my life!

Abortionists in the US are careless. All they want is the money. So many of them have been shut down simply because their facilities were filthy. A woman can even get a nasty infection or a sexually transmitted disease from an abortion, because abortionists often don't sterilize their instruments properly, or re-use disposable instruments. They're also operating on very delicate tissue with a sharp knife, and they can't see what they are doing. They can perforate a uterus, do damage to other organs, and make an emergency hysterectomy necessary. Pill abortions can cause death within hours. We have no idea how many women have been killed by pill abortions.

The more times you have an abortion, the more risk you run. Abortion ALWAYS damages a woman's body. The more times you do it, the worse the damage gets. If you are looking to have an abortion so soon after the first one, there are some things you need to ask yourself. You are getting into a cycle of repeat abortions. The only way that will end is for one of three reasons: 1. you are no longer able to conceive 2. you stop having sex or 3. you carry a baby to term. Ask yourself why you are willing to take that kind of risk. Ask yourself if you freely chose abortion, or whether someone or something made you feel you had no choice. Ask yourself if you really WANT to live this way. Ask yourself if there is some kind of help that would make it possible for you to carry your baby. Before having another abortion, you should first make sure you are even pregnant. Don't just take some powerful drug. They can kill you, sometimes within hours. The media aren't paying any attention, but I am. I'm tired of all the women who are being hurt and killed, and I don't want this for you, either.

Before having another abortion, learn what your options are. You can do this by going to a crisis pregnancy organization. They are wonderful; they will provide all kinds of help. If you have heard slander of them, don't believe it. You can find one near you by going here:

You can also get counseling online and by phone.

Please don't hurt yourself! Let me know how you do.
