Forced Abortion in the USA, the Non-Choice video:


If someone does not want to get an abortion, they cannot be forced against their will into have an abortion. No matter her age or circumstance, because the way that Roe v Wade is written it is the women choice no one else's. The Un-Choice In a national study of women, 64% of those who aborted felt pressured to do so by others. This pressure can become violent. 65% suffered symptoms of trauma. In the year following an abortion, suicide rates are 6-7 times higher. Forced Non-Choice .... "I'll blow her brains out." Intense pressure to abort can come from husbands, parents, doctors, partners, counselors, or close friends and family. They may threaten or blackmail a woman into abortion. These are not idle threats. Coercion can escalate to violence. Women who resist abortion have been beaten, tortured and killed. One husband jumped on his wife's stomach to force an abortion. A mother forced her daughter at gunpoint to go to the abortion clinic. Unwanted Non-Choice ... Their Choice, Not Hers. Reasons women give for having abortions: • Forced by mother • Father opposed • Husband or boyfriend persuaded me • No other option given • Would have been kicked out • Loss of family's support • Lack of support from society • Clinic persuaded In 95% of all cases, the male partner plays a central role in the decision. Of men interviewed at abortion clinics 45% recalled urging abortion, including 37% of married men. Many of these men reported being justified in being the primary decision maker in the decision to have the abortion. Coerced Choice ... Taken to the Clinic to Make Sure She Keeps the Appointment A former abortion clinic security guard testified before the Massachusetts legislature that women were routinely threatened and abused by the boyfriends or husbands who took them to the clinics to make sure they underwent their scheduled abortions. Many women are also pressured by clinic staff financially rewarded for selling abortions. Forced Choice ... Threats Can Escalate to Violence or Murder — the Leading Killer of Pregnant Women The pressure can escalate. Many pregnant women have been killed by partners trying to prevent the birth, and being pregnant places women at higher risk of being attacked. Murder is the leading cause of death among pregnant women. 92% of women surveyed list domestic violence and assault as the women's issue that is of highest concern to them. Pro-Choice Advocates Are Rightfully Concerned About Coerced Abortions While citing a different statistic, noted pro-choice ethicist Daniel Callahan, director of the Hastings Center, has acknowledged the same basic problem: That men have long coerced women into unwanted abortion when it suits their purposes is well-known but rarely mentioned. Data reported by the Alan Guttmacher Institute indicate that some 30 percent of women have an abortion because someone else, not the woman, wants it. The Aftermath. Women Coerced into Unwanted Abortions Pay a High Price. • 31% had health complications afterwards.1 • 65% suffer multiple symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.1 • 65% higher risk of clinical depression.15 • 10% have immediate complications, some are life-threatening.16 • 3.5x higher risk of death from all causes.17
