Abortion. Is it gonna hurt??

Does having an abortion hurt?

Answer:
Forever
Yes, but not as much as childbirth.
Probably yes!
yes. it hurts emotionally, physically, and mentally. check out abortion.com for more details.
it sure hurts the baby. i'm not sure how much it would hurt you, but you should know that what they do to get rid of the baby is completely inhumane. i'm not going to go into all the graphic details, but if you want to make an informed decision, you should at least know what it is they're going to be doing to your baby. good luck.
Yes. They give you shots in your cervix to open it. They will give you something to numb it but.. it will still hurt. It also hurts the baby. Check out this site. If you can watch the whole thing and feel like this is for you go for it.

Hope so, murders deserve consequences of some sort!
Yes, but they give you painkillers so the pain is dulled and you're just gonna feel really down and out for 1-3 days afterwards. Stay in bed for the most part- don't walk around too much. Under no condition should you drive yourself home. You're gonna be fine, don't worry.
Well, yes. They are using suction to vacuum out an embryo.
BUT you can choose to go to a facility that uses General Anesthesia. Therefore, you would be unconscious for the whole procedure, and when you are awake you will have some cramping (like a period) which you can take something for. Otherwise, you will get a local, and yes it will hurt.
If this is what you are set on doing, and are afraid of the pain, ask your facility/doctor about your anesthesia options. (general will cost a lot more though)
Good luck.
Everyone telling you that you will regret it for the rest of your life have no way of knowing that. There are just as many women who never think about it again, but then there are those that regret it forever. There is NO way they can tell you how YOU will feel. This is only how they feel or would feel, and they aren't YOU now are they??
Yes it hurts. It would be much better to give that baby to a loving couple who really wants a baby. That way you'll never have to deal with the pain of having ended that little baby's life.

Yes abortion hurts!

If you are considering abortion, please dont!
Adoption is the option!
Stop worrying about YOUR pain and start thinking of YOUR baby you are thinking about killing!! It will hurt you of course and it will kill your baby. They are scraping your insides and pulling out and killing your baby. Think about that, think about the baby that didn't ask to be conceived.
i think it is going to hurt for the rest of your life. once the procedure is done you will always wonder if it is a girl or a boy and what he/she would look like. some people after having an abortion for some reason can't have kids anymore and they hurt because they always have that regret. as for the actual procedure it wont hurt you wont feel a thing. good luck
Yes. Physically, but mostly emotionally for the rest of your life. I know several women who have had abortions, and they are tormented everyday with the guilt and pain of knowing they murdered thier babies.

These women had abortions when they were in thier late teens - they are now in their late 30s and 40's. One of these women has tried to get pregnant for the last 10 years with her husband, but she can't. She killed the only baby that she ever would have had.

Check out this website - it even shows pictures and profiles of couples that want to adopt your child.
Yes, not just at the time, but for the rest of your life. Give your baby life, then give it to another couple to adopt.
No. but it's HORRIBLE! They take out the baby. And it's FULLY developed after about 3 or 4 weeks. Well, not fully. But by that time, it's got arms, legs, eyes, and a heart. Anyway, they take out the baby, not fully though. Because if they take out the head, it's considered murder. Then, they slowly cut off the arms, and stab it with scisors. Right in the neck. And they have this straw like thing. To suck out the brains. How do I know this? There was a special about it on tv. They showed this lady who JUST finished her abortion. She was still sitting in the hospital. She BEGGED the doctor and the nurse to show her her baby. The nurse and doctor said no. Because she wouldn't like it. But she eventually got them to show her. They put it in her hands, and she kept screaming! She couldn't stop! She felt like she murdered a baby. She just kept screaming and wouldn't stop. My mom had an abortion. But after she saw that on tv, she just felt SO bad! But the abortion was about 9 years ago. And to think, I ALWAYS wanted a little brother or sister. And I could've had one if she didn't have the abortion. I didn't even know she had the abortion! MY WHOLE LIFE! And I'm 11!
Yes. In fact, there's a high risk you'll die. Better put the baby up for adoption instead.
First off abortion is wrong. It's murder...don't do it. And of course it's going to hurt. It'll hurt you as well as the baby. How would you like to have your limbs cut off, or your skull crushed? I'm not judging you but really it's a horrible thing.
As for hurting, it will hurt physically, mentally, and emotionally. Think about it this way...that's your child that you are having killed, you can never get it back.
Please don't let these people scare you. The physical pain is short and soon forgotten. It is far better to realize that, as a child, you cannot raise a child. That is a lifelong pain for two people, not just one. You are doing the right thing.
Yes it does hurt. It feels like period craps, but not severe ones.
I know this probably is a very hard decision for you, but think about the pros and cons. You will see both sides of the issue when people are responding to this question - it"s a hot issue. Nevertheless, remember, what ever your decision, it is yours to make. I had one a long time ago. I feel like I made the right decision, but I still greave for the baby. It was a death. I would have made the same decision if given the chance again. I was too young, and my body and mind was too immature. I have two kids now, I wish I had a dozen more, but at that time, I was not ready to be a mother. I would have been a terrible one, and I had no family or friends to help out. I tell people I have had three children, one who is in heaven. The decision was between my higher power and me.
1. Get the facts about the procedure - not just scare tactics
2. Weigh out, even write out the pros and cons - ie. can I afford this baby, do I have support, how will it affect my life if I keep it, can I possibly go through and give the baby to parents that cannot have kids
3. Keep some support - I wish I had had some. I know going to a parent sometimes is not feasible, but a teacher, close friend, aunt, therapist, even if its an online support group.
4. Is the father involved? Get his support. Again - it is your body.
5. Afterwards, if you have another sexual partner, use birth control. Abortion is not a birth control method. Condoms preferably. Prevent pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
I hope this helps. Do what you think is right for you. If you need anyone to talk to, just repost. There are a lot of people out here that will listen and do care.

Remember, when you make your decision - look at the facts, not emotions of the responses. I miss my baby, but I do not regret the decision.

For a lot of people, it's a huge relief. it doesn't hurt more than bad menstrual cramps, either. If I were you, I would never questions about abortion in a place like this. the pro-life folks are just ready and waiting to jump all over you, lie to you, and try to talk you out of it. it is much better to have an abortion than it is to bring a child into the world that you do not want, cannot care for, whatever. there are too many children in the world right now with no homes or families. why add to that. just please use birth control from now on so you don't have to go through this again (if you're asking for yourself).
Yes, it does hurt. Seek counseling before.
Most places put you into a "twilight" state and you dont feel or remember a thing. You will be somewhat crampy afterwards. Childbirth hurts alot more. Don't listen to half these people here. They most likely have never been through it so have no idea what they are talking about. If you know having a child is not the best for you then you are making the right choice. Giving up a baby for adoption is alot more painful emotionally.
Okay. It seems you got plenty of answers from people who are anti-abortion. You've gotten answers from people who call it murder. You've gotten plenty of answers from people who regret having abortions. I'll try to just answer your question.

Physically, no, it will not hurt more than you can handle. They will probably give you an IV in your arm. IV's are no fun to get but its not horrible and the pain from the IV goes away pretty fast.

Then, they will give you something called "twilight sleep", which means they will give you just enough sleeping medicine so you will be out of it during the procedure. If you so much as moan during the procedure, they will increase the medicine and you will not feel it. The medicine also has a amnesia effect to it, so you won't remember much, either.

Right afterwards, they will have you rest for a while and make sure that you are medically stable. When you are steady enough to leave, they will let you go home with instructions. No sex for a while, because your cervix will be mostly open and you will be a little tender. Not in pain. Just tender.

As to the emotional effects of having an abortion, everyone is different. You didn't mention how old you are or the conditions at home or if you have support from the person who helped get you pregnant or if you are the survivor of abuse. All these things matter when it comes to dealing with the emotional part of having an abortion. You may feel very upset for a while or you may not. Don't allow yourself to be preached at by people who don't know you or haven't lived your life. Be grateful that you didn't have to stick a wire hanger into your body or poison yourself with weird concoctions. Abortion is not the best form of birth control and hopefully, you will never have to experience it again.

Start being pro-active about birth control. Prevent the pregnancy rather than end it (if there is a next time.) And if the guy gives you grief about condoms or other birth control, remember YOU are the one who has to handle the outcome. If you find yourself depressed, get help. Call a hotline. Find a friend. Get a counselor. But mostly, be grateful you had legal, sanitary choices and try to be more pro-active in the future. It's easier to prevent a pregnancy than end one...physically and emotionally. Good luck. I'll be sending good thoughts.
I've never had an abortion but I know that it causes some pretty bad cramping. Emotionally it's going to stick with you forever. I've known a few women who have had it done. One can't even have children now. She will forever carry that guilt. Is that really what you want to do? Have such a heavy guilt for the rest of your life??
Forever - you are murdering your child.
Having an abortion is something that you will remember forever. Physically you will be uncomfortable, but you shouldn't be in any pain if the doctor knew what he/she was doing. However, even in 10 years, you may think about your decision and may regret it. In that way it may hurt emotionally. Remember it is your body, your decision. Don't let the belifs of other people become your beliefs. Talk to someone you trust, of if you can't please find me and I could be very objective. Hope eveything is okay.
okay, i shouldn't have read this question...as a matter of fact..i shouldn't have even looked in this section. Here's the thing abortion is MURDER...have you ever seen the bumper sticker that says, "abortion doesn't keep you from becoming a mother, it makes you the mother of a dead baby"? think about this, and please please please consider your other options..There are MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of ppl out there who want desperately to have children and are unable to , and then their are ppl out there who kill their unborn children because it is not convienent for them to become parents. If having a child is so inconvienent for you, that you are willing to commit murder please think abou those other people out there that would kill to HAVE a child ,
i would think that the emotional distress of giving a child up for adoption would not even compare to killing this child. I really hope that you make the right decision. think about this as a CHILD not a "pregnancy" because you never know who that baby will grow up to be. Think of all the memories you'll never get to have...their first step, their first smile...the first time they say momma...Please just think about this and make sure you are willing to kill your child
yeah
Absolutely It's a pain you will go through when the procedure happens then the pain for the rest of your life knowing you murdered your child
YES...This will be the worst pain you will ever have for the rest of your life.PLEASE don't have an abortion.you can give the baby up for adoption, closed or open adoption...Please pray about this.
