The effect on the babies is far worse.

Millions of women have had abortions in America. The highly negative impact has hit our whole society.

"The study tracked 1,265 girls born in the 1970s. 41% of these woman became pregnant by the age of 25, and 14.6% (90 women) sought an abortion. By the age of 25, 42% of those who procured an abortion also experienced a major depression."

So that's what... 38 women. Actually it's 37.8, so I suppose one woman was kind of bummed instead of having a major depression.

Selena Ewing, a researcher at the Southern Cross Bioethics Institute, Adelaide, has found that most abortions result from lack of support of pregnant women, from both men and the community. Abortions are also linked with domestic violence.

This is the story the pro abortion crowd doesn't want to get out, but I think there are women and young, possibly underage girls who were pressured or outright bullied into an abortion by their boyfriends or boyfriend's mother. Some 'choice'.

Abortion also effects having another baby. A French study of 2,837 births found woman who once had an abortion were 1.7 times more likely to give birth to a baby at less than 28 weeks gestation. Babies born at this point die soon after birth, or suffer serious disability if they survive.

I wonder if this may not be why so many apparently healthy Hollywood actresses (eg., Nicole Kidman, Kirstie Alley, Jennifer Aniston) have so much trouble having children and experience miscarriages.

Silent No More

The National Silent No More Awareness Campaign is an effort to make the public aware of the devastation abortion brings to women, men, and their families. The emotional and physical pain of abortion will no longer be shrouded in secrecy and silence, but rather exposed and healed. This effort is a key to make abortion unthinkable and persuade society that women deserve better than abortion.

By the age of 25, 42% of those who procured an abortion also experienced a major depression. This number was 35% higher than those who had chosen to continue a pregnancy.

The oldest of these were only 36 years of age. From what I have seen in several of my own friends, the consequences of abortion continue to worsen, for both the mother AND the father, over time. Particularly if they never have, or could not have, another child.

I know I was talking about this same thing with my mother yesterday. I find it amazing what women go through to avoid responsibilities.

It's not until you sit with a woman in a quiet environment - fireside chat environment and have a serious talk about abortion that you hear their true feelings about it and specifically its effects.

Imagine standing before St. Peter and telling him it was a "choice".

[Señor Zorro]

The Washington Times reported a study done by Priscilla Coleman that claimed that woman who aborted has a 144% greater risk of physically abusing their children compared to those who did not terminate their pregnancy.

Abortion apalls me, but I consider this part of the study to be backwards. I would argue that, generally, the abortion doesn't cause a woman to become more abusive, but rather that a more abusive woman is more likely to have an abortion as she already has a lower respect for the pain caused others.

My observation has been that women who were raised in a religious household, or who had strong religious/culturally conservative influences growing up, are the ones likely to experience guilt or other negative feelings after an abortion. Women who come from more secular families/areas tend to experience negative feelings much less. In fact, however shocking as it may sound to many here, a great number of women see no moral consequence to abortion at all due to their belief that an embryo is not, in any way, a person.

This is why abortion is an issue that is intimately entwined with religious belief. As much as abortion ideologues may wish to deny it, intelligent people can sincerely disagree on the moral status of a human embryo or fetus.

Even most pro-lifers refuse to support the prosecution of abortive women for murder, should abortion ever be banned. The reason for this is obviously that, even though they may personally feel that an embryo is the moral equivalent of a born human, they can understand how someone else could honestly disagree -- and they're not willing to send them to prison or the death chamber for that disagreement.

New studies show that women suffer serious side-effects after aborting a child, says Zenit.org. Many of these side-effects are psychological, and effect woman long after the abortion has taken place.

Major grammatical error in the first sentence.

[colorado tanker]

The double standards is our society really are amazing. We obsess over whether every pill, like Vioxx, discloses every possible side effect, but the pro-abort crowd insists women must not be told anything about what an abortion is or its possible effects.
