I remember as a young medical student, I was shocked and disheartened when I first met a 16yr old girl who had approached our colleges gynaecology department for abortion.
Over the years, my sadness for this phenomenon as only increased.
Having sex is your personal choice. But with more and more youngsters experimenting with the same, the earlier are abortions being performed.
Everyday I get tens of queries whereby someone between 16-30 has got pregnant and wants to desperately terminate the unwanted pregnancy.
With increase in these "unwanted pregnancies", there is also an increase in myths.
I have met so many people, who have rather STUPID ideas regarding abortions.
Its these non-medico myths and stupid ideas that are leading to an increase in abortions and henceforth increase in over-all infertility rates of modern society.
A team of British doctors has released the results of a new study showing that women who have had even a single abortion run upto a 40 percent higher risk of having a miscarriage in their subsequent pregnancy.
This isn’t the first study to show that abortions adversely affect a woman’s fertility, but its really sad that society isn't ready to accept the data.
