Abortion and mental health: quantitative synthesis and analysis of research published 1995-2009.
Google News tried to obscure the stories. I had to click on the "all 221 news articles" for the Telegraph article.
Or maybe it’s just that you have to be crazy to kill your own child.
Committing murder and risking hell will do that.
This is important research. Last night this thread ran,

but a study of this magnitude deserves another thread. Abortion hurts women, men, babies, and nations. There is absolutely nothing good that comes from killing innocent, defenseless babies.
Actually Dr Coleman has for years been doing the yeoman's effort in painstakingly documenting the obvious, a necessary process in building a body of research-based knowledge. She has found eg that the incidence of PTSD among aborted women is comparable to to that of combat veterans.
Thanks for posting this. It really speaks to the idea that for all the rhetoric on either side of the debate, women of any political persuasion just know and cannot deny that they are `choosing` to destroy a human life. From that point on, they will never be free of the `What if...?` of how their life might be different if they didn`t destroy their child. I`ve had endless arguments over this, and when I say `So if it`s not a human what is it?` I watch the libs sputter and insult, but that`s the moment I know THEY know. That the very people who are screaming t hat patients should be given every test in the world on demand FIGHT telling pregnant women the truth and showing them images of their baby says it all—even the proabortionists KNOW, they just want to whistle past the graveyard on their way to selfish choices that result in a human death.
I have always suspected abortion had a role to play in it.
Personally, having done a few really bad things to other people and have come to really regret those things I think living with the idea of having murdered your off spring must be a heavy, heavy load to carry your entire life...
Guilt is a powerful thing.
Whether having an abortion tends to drive women crazy, or whether women with a bent to becoming crazy are more likely to have an abortion, isn’t clear from this study. It couldn’t be clear, without controlling for the abortion, which even the U.K. would probably deem unethical (here dear, you are in the group whose unborn baby you don’t want will be killed, where there honey, the study randomizer says we will adopt out the baby you don’t want as soon as it is born).

glad you could find it on google, cuz you damn sure won’t find it any textbook, ever.
