Indeed. And, thankfully, with legalization of abortion, the number of “botched abortions” has declined dramatically.
Are you honestly suggesting that making abortions illegal again would decrease the likelihood of “botched abortions”? Are you saying that by driving abortions underground you’d decrease their risk? By changing what are now generally sanitary, standardized, and safe procedures into something done in a dirty hotel room or back alley?
askthedocto would benefit from a work placement at a hospital in a country where abortion is illegal, so s/he can see first hand the consequences of botched abortions.
While there are some doctors who are against abortion rights, the vast majority are far too well-informed to post such a collection of nonsense.
This statement is appallingly ignorant, even if you disregard things like referring to “pre birth” (premature birth, anyone?).
To select just the author’s focus on the alleged breast cancer-abortion link - this is a favorite among those who will seize on any scare tactics to discourage abortion, regardless of how completely they have been refuted. Thorough and well-documented studies have demonstrated the claim to be false, including this 2004 review in Lancet that looked at 53 separate epidemiologic studies involving tens of thousands of women, and concluded:
“Pregnancies that end as a spontaneous or induced abortion do not increase a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer. Collectively, the studies of breast cancer with retrospective recording of induced abortion yielded misleading results, possibly because women who had developed breast cancer were, on average, more likely than other women to disclose previous induced abortions.”
This large steaming turd of an OP was deposited in this forum by someone will almost certainly never return to defend his bogus claims.

(I would disclose my med school’s name but I can’t compete with Qadgop’s Johns Hopkins. Although I affirm that I did not attend Bob’s School of Medicine in Rosenberg, Texas (as was apparently the case with the OP))
Oh, and btw - this made me laugh uproariously.
I can start the thread on Monday morning, and will do so. See you then!
So? It gave us all a chance to have fun and fight ignorance! 
askthe docto does not appear to be coming back and no one else appears to be excited about defending the opinions set forth in the OP, so I’m closing this. If I get a groundswell of calls to re-open it, I will consider doing so.

This appears to be a drive-by thread, and a yawner at that - but I wanted to thank Anaamika for a terrific post. That’s good Dope!
