In the most comprehensive look yet at the safety of abortion, researchers at the UCSF Bixby Center found that the procedure is incredibly safe for women.

Despite the fact that officials all over the U.S. feel the need to regulate abortion as though it were a pernicious procedure, a study by UC San Francisco researchers shows that complications rarely occur after an abortion.
New research shows major complications occur in less than a quarter of a percent of patients who get abortions, a number that is comparable to the risks associated with colonoscopies.
A team from the University of California, San Francisco said that complications from abortions only happen 2.1% of the time, with most being minor. Wisdom teeth surgery, on the other hand, results in complications 7% of the time.
In the most comprehensive look yet at the safety of abortion, researchers at UC San Francisco have concluded that major complications are rare, occurring less than a quarter of a percent of the time, about the same frequency as colonoscopies.
People who get abortions are less likely to have complications than people who have their wisdom teeth removed, finds a new study published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology.
