QuestionHello,my sis. is having anemia and also got pregnant its being 1 month can she do abortion in this case I am very scared as she has anemia
AnswerHello, poonam,
I am very glad you wrote, and I can sense you love your sister very much.
A woman often bleeds heavily after abortion, and some women bleed to death. Being anemic increases the risk. Abortion is dangerous anyway, and many of the abortion facilities won't pass basic health inspections. A woman can be killed, get a perforated uterus (making hysterectomy necessary), or get an infection, including sexually transmitted diseases, and another infection that can kill a woman within hours of the onset of symptoms. The abortion pill in particular causes heavy bleeding for weeks, and as I am sure you know, this also weakens a woman's immune system tremendously. If there is any way you can discourage your sister from having one, in the long run, she will be much healthier and happier. And abortion can also kill or seriously damage her future children. For example, one of her children could develop cerebral palsy, epilepsy, mental retardation, autism, blindness, or deafness. It isn't worth it.
There are many resources in your state and the people there are willing to give your sister many different kinds of help. She deserves to know all her options, and what help is available to her.

Please, if you can talk her out of it, please do so. Let me know what happens.
