Authors of Finnish Study Fail to Report Relationship Between Increased Suicides and Abortion
January 7, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The December 2004 edition of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AJOG) has published a letter to the editor from Dr. Nathan J. Hoeldtke of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Tripler Army Medical Center, Honolulu, pointing out the failure by authors of a Finnish study to report the relationship between abortion and increased incidence of suicide.
The 2004 study, Pregnancy-associated mortality after birth, spontaneous abortion, or induced abortion in Finland, failed to take into account the higher risk of death by intentional accident after abortion. Abortion advocates routinely scoff at any suggestion of long-term emotional effects of abortion and claim that it is more dangerous to carry a pregnancy to term.
In his letter, Dr. Hoeldtke says, for unclear reasons, the authors excluded deaths from unintentional accidental injuries and intentional injuries in their analysis of pregnancy-associated mortality. The author of the Finish study showed in previous research that a post-abortive woman abortion is 6 times more likely to die from suicide (intentional injury) than women who give birth, and 3 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population.
Dr. Hoeldtke continued that "A woman obtaining an induced abortion appears to be at increased risk for dying from violent causes in the near future, including suicide. The stark reality underlying these statistics would seem to represent a significant public health concern that warrants further investigation".
I guess they didn't have an appropriate Finnish to the research. :)
Thanks, I see you do more than just websites. Do you still do work for Dr. Lanfranchi

that's a good one..quick
was the article too "dull" for you.
Way too "dull." :) I guess you could say it needs a good Finnish. And the hits keep on coming.
I think I'm "finished" with the jokes, it's too late to think of any more.
Actually, when I designed the BCPI website, it was Dr. Joel Brind with whom I contracted the job.
I am the webmaster for Virtue Media, whose president, Tom Peterson, produced the commercials. I just digitize them and put them on the website. (I do appear in one of them, too-the "Vanished" commercial.)
how come your allowed to decide to kill a baby but not decide how your retirement money is spent? never understood that one.
Excellent commercials on the links.
Pro abortion types defend Roe v Wade as giving a woman "choice." As made clear in the commercials, most women who have abortions probably did not come to this "choice" on their own. Its usually for the benefit and convience of the man.
Women who wanted to have their children once had the support of laws to help the resist external pressure to "terminate pregnancies". After Roe, they were completely on their own in resisting the emotional and financial pressures placed on them by parents, boyfriends, employers, college friends, etc. Then, once pressured into having the abortion by others, the woman was forced to bear the burden of guilt for killing her own child.
For the woman, abortion often someone else's choice. For the child, abortion is always someone else' choice.
Pro-life Bump!

I will say that every women that I know that had an abortion, also miscarried when they tried to carry their first child, after the killing, to term. It is a sad thing to turn the womb into a war zone. A child shouldn't have to fight to survive in the womb.
the silent no more awareness campaign is a big help because it's women advising women about the horrors of abortion and the life of pain, guilt, psychological and medical problems associated with it.
Do you have a website? I am looking to extend my tithing to pro-life groups and would like some background info. I feel that abortion is America at its worst and may ultimately be our downfall.
