The Age (April 9, 2010) has reported that an anaesthetist is likely to have deliberately infected 12 patients with hepatitis C at an abortion clinic in Croydon, Melbourne.
This is a tragic situation for the women concerned (the loss of their unborn baby and now their own physical complications) but is a reminder of the significance of abortion procedures, which are frequently described as "simple" and "safe". This is not the case. Women considering abortion need to fully understand the
nature and risks of the medical procedure, including longer term implications.
