Partial birth abortion can be very dangerous to the mother. It is a big risk that a person takes that can lead to medical problems. The abortion can lead to abnormal bleeding, as well as blood loss. In addition, post-delivery retention of the placenta can occur, which will then require later surgical treatment. There is also a maternal death risk involved with partial birth abortion. The women who undergo partial birth abortion have a greater risk of dying from the procedure, than dying from normal childbirth. In 1998, 16.7 per 100,000 women died because of partial birth abortion.
