Woman who worked at mental hospital says many patients had abortions
CLINIC QUOTES ^ | August 18, 2018 | Sarah Terzo

A woman named Kae who worked in a mental hospital says:

“During the years that I worked in a psych unit of the hospital, I encountered many depressed women who had abortions and kept their emotions about it buried. The emotional pain that is hidden so deeply will eventually resurface if left unresolved. Many of these women suffered from eating disorders. Most eating disorders manifest from the patient’s desire to gain control over certain issues in her life. Most young girls I saw who had been pushed into abortions by their parents or boyfriends would either overeat, not eat, or purge… Emotional pain surfaces. Psychiatric episodes are also very real to some of these women whose pain from abortion had been ignored and therefore untreated.”

That’s what I was wondering too.

That was my initial thought but then it looks like having an abortion may contribute to getting into the hospital.

You won’t hear their stories in the mainstream media. When you go against the Democrat party narrative, you become a non-person.

I’m not sure they became pregnant in a mental hospital. I think they had abortions earlier in life and it had an affect on them later.

The women had the abortion BEFORE they came to the Nervous Hospital. In fact is why they were there. By the sounds of the article they had mental issues caused by the abortion that led to them needing treatment.

There is an entire literature on the subject of abortion and emotional harm. David Reardon at Elliot Institute has compiled a mountain of information on the subject, including actual data-based research.

Correct. She’s referring to women who end up with emotional and psychological problems BECAUSE they can’t get over having had an abortion.

It is normal and natural to bond with one’s baby. This is not a rule of the church. It’s the way we’re made. If you go against the way we’re made, you attain unhappiness. Simple.

Act according to human nature, and you’re happy.

The mouth is for eating; the nose for sniffing; the “back hole” for expelling rejected matter; the mother bonds with her baby; parents protect their children, etc.

It’s not hard. We don’t need science OR the church to tell us what human nature is like. This is known to followers of St Thomas as the Natural Law.

The evidence for a abortion-breast cancer link is also overwhelming, it totally suppressed by the media. The same media that publishes countless obscure health stories, but ignores the elephant in the room.

I have known several women who have had abortions. (Not any that were pregnant due to my involvement!).

Every single one was very deeply affected afterwords and all wished they had never had the abortion.

Emotions described to me included losing sex drive for more than a year; long term deep depression; picking names for the lost child over and over; loss of school/work focus and interest; etc.

For an otherwise caring young woman who is in a jam, it seems like an easy way out but gives only a lifetime of pain and anguish.

People who murder their own babies DESERVE to be in mental anguish - hopefully every day for the rest of their lives.

For this to be useful they need to include the incidence of mental illness amongst the general population and the rate of abortion amongst them.

The plural of anecdote is not data

You know...

If you are married to some chick with a mental illness, you can’t get a divorce. She is considered incompetent.

If a person with a mental illness has a baby, there is a near certainty that the mental illness will be inherited.

I am not approving of abortion, however failure to address these concerns makes a mockery of the Conservative stance on abortion. Having a mental illness destroys more than just a person, it destroys a complete family tree.

I have no solutions to this vexing situation. However, it does need to be addressed. Society can ill-afford to support and deal with an increasingly larger percentage of the population with serious mental disorders. Look at what has happened in San Francisco.

The Conservative solution should be one of compassion, yet is realistic to the necessities of a completely loathsome devil-inspired illness.

Just have his testicles tied up and offer him $100. Voluntary. Welfare moms can get norplant installed in their arms as of a few years ago.
