The side effects of having an abortion have been studied, verified, re-verified and published since The Mainichi Survey in 1959. We have documented the earliest dates of each listed side effect. Thousands of studies have shown the side effects of abortions since. We wanted to show how long medical science has know of these side effects and yet, some so called "doctors" continue to do this to our young mothers without ever mentioning to their patients the side effects of an abortion.
What we hope to provide is a partial list of the medical and scientific data which reflect the numerous side effects women have from having an abortion. This is not all inclusive.

To all the women who have suffered from having an abortion and the doctor did not share this public information with you: we hope you get the opportunity to share this with a young mother struggling with the decision of abortion.
