Abortion performed using unsafe methods like coat hangers carries significant risks of permanent infertility and life-threatening complications.
Mechanisms of Infertility Risk
Uterine Perforation: Sharp objects (e.g., coat hangers) can puncture the uterus, causing internal bleeding, organ damage, or sepsis[3][4]. Severe cases may require hysterectomy, permanently ending fertility[1][6].
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): Unsafe procedures often introduce bacteria, leading to infections that spread to the fallopian tubes. Scarring from PID can block fertilization, causing infertility[5][7].
Asherman’s Syndrome: Traumatic uterine damage may cause adhesions (scar tissue) that prevent embryo implantation. This is rare but linked to repeated uterine surgeries[1][5].
Chronic Sepsis: Incomplete abortions leave tissue debris, creating a breeding ground for bacteria. Untreated sepsis can cause multi-organ failure or death[6][8].
Comparative Risks
Safe Abortion
Unsafe/Coat Hanger Abortion
≤0.01% infection risk[5]
High infection risk (e.g., sepsis, PID)[6][7]
0.001% uterine injury[5]
Up to 60% bacteremia risk from perforation[6]
No fertility impact[1][5]
Permanent infertility via PID/scarring[4][7]
Key Statistics
Unsafe abortions cause ~7 million hospitalizations/year globally, with infertility occurring in survivors of severe complications[2][6].
Retained tissue in incomplete abortions increases sepsis mortality risk by 50x[6].
While safe, legal abortions (medical or surgical) pose minimal fertility risks[1][5], coat hanger methods drastically increase the likelihood of life-threatening infections and permanent reproductive harm. Timely medical care reduces these risks, but prevention through access to safe abortion services is critical[6][8].
Higher infant mortality, and higher maternal mortality to boot, all while chasing the $5k bait with poor insurance coverage at public hospitals. Meanwhile, the haves can afford better private care. Since that’s where the money will be, they’ll be pulling better doctors and nurses to it, thus avoiding becoming statistics.
Edit: it all boils back down to “survival of the fittest”, where “fittest” has been redefined to mean “has the most money”.
Forces everyone to reproduce. Lack of healthcare kills off the ones who can’t afford to survive. The “undesirables” still reproduce, they just die young.
Prevention of birth control leads to teen pregnancies, especially among the poor. It doesn’t matter if they die young as long as they reproduce. That seems counterproductive…
They don’t want the undesirables to die out entirely. They just want them under heel as worker drones.
On the other side of the coin, gotta make sure the “right people” have lots of kids to make sure there will be an upper class to rule over the worker drones.
How tf does preventing birth control prevent undesirables from reproducing?
