Everyone has a view on what they think Abortion is but there’s one thing people seem to lack: Educational Background. You have seen it on the media; people talking negative on abortions and saying it is bad for women, that will make them feel guilty. Other deceptive information regarding abortion includes that it causes breast cancer, psychological problems, and infertility.<\/p>\n
How crazy is that? This fear-mongering leads many people to believe the procedure is extremely risky, when in fact studies confirm that legal abortions are safer than common medical procedures such as wisdom tooth extraction<\/span><\/a>. It is the widespread ignorance that has allowed anti-abortion legislation like Texas law HB-2 to pass. The HB-2 law requires abortion clinics to adhere to standards of ambulatory surgical centers<\/span><\/a> which can cost clinics millions of dollars in renovations. According to The New York Times<\/span><\/a>, half of Texas\u2019 abortion clinics have closed since 2013 because of the law. But as the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists pointed out when HB-2 was proposed, there is absolutely no reason<\/span><\/a> except to prevent clinics from functioning to enforce these sort of requirements.<\/p>\n
