Is Planned Parenthood of Indiana under-reporting surgical abortions?

How come in this video, they only circle surgical abortions and not medical abortions? Why aren't medical abortions circled? 0:14

Surgical Abortions are purely elective...."medical" abortions are procedures such as a d&c, where the baby has already passed away, such as in a natural miscarriage- but the mother has failed to pass the baby. Such procedures are necessary only because the mother will die of sepsis if the baby remains in the uterine cavity.

Medical abortions is a name for chemical abortions like RU-486. These are done at home and not in the clinic. A medical abortion can be purely elective as well as a surgical.

Non-elective abortions for the serious heath of the mother are very rare....less than 0.1% of abortions. The medically necessary abortions are often surgical as they are later term when problems are more easily detected.

As for fetal removal because of natural death, that would not be in PP's stats. They don't do that.

sasnak77: that's not what a medical abortion is. Read liveactionfilms reply.

I stand corrected.

I was speaking only from my personal experience- I miscarried and had a "missed abortion"....I had to go have a D&C...from a legitimate medical provider...in an emergency room. They said if I didn't have the D&C I could have bled to death. :(

What i meant by educating people was explainig to them the devestating effect having these abortions will have on the rest of there lives. People do genuinley believe that afterwards there live will simply go back to how it was before. Which is rarely the case. unless you have been in that situation you can never fully understand what its like to make that decision. Alot of people take stuipd risks "one time i wont get caught" its just not worth it.

Excellent!

Unfortunately, education about contraceptives does little to actually convince people to use them. Think about your friends -- how many of them know how to get and use some form of birth control? Probably all of them. How many of them use it every time? Probably none of them.

Efforts to educate gay men in San Francisco did nothing to lower the HIV-infection rate. It continued to climb, despite MASSIVE educating campaigns.

It's a modern fairy tale that birth control lessens unplanned pregnancies and STD infection rates. The actual data reveal that the more the public accept contraceptives as legitimate, the rates soar for out-of-wedlock births, STDs, sexual abuse, divorce, etc.
