Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new study from Norway substantiates previous studies showing a link between abortion and mental health problems such as depression. This new research, conducted by Dr. Willy Pedersen, was recently published in the Scandinavian Journal of Public Health, a peer-reviewed medical journal.
The authors make the link clear in the conclusion of the abstract: "Young adult women who undergo induced abortion may be at increased risk for subsequent depression."

And I’ve seen a couple of ways to handle it.
One, get right with God, admit your horrible sin, repent, and work to help save other babies.
or
Two, do everything possible to justify your “choice”. Become a “pro-choice” activist, donate to/work for planned parenthood, heck, BECOME AN ABORTIONIST!
Either way, you will not erase the spectre of what you chose, but in the first way, at least you know that you’re doing what you can to right the wrong.
The things they feel a need to conduct a “study” on is astounding!!!!!!!
Question: Do the abortions cause the psychological problems, or do the psychological problems cause the women to have unwanted pregnancies or choose abortion to deal with their unwanted pregnancies?
The answer could be crucial, since many European countries, falsely presumed to offer abortion on demand, actually ban abortions except when a physician deems that carrying the baby to term may be hazardous to a woman’s health; the inclusion of psychological health in that standard creates a loophole large enough to drive a truck through. If it could be actually shown that it psychologically healthier to carry a baby to term, the license to kill babies could be devastated.
I wonder if the clinical word “Depression” could be replaced with the phrase “guilty conscience” in alot of these studies.
Seems more accurate and truthful to me.
George "the Killer" Tiller aborts third trimester babies because 'mommy' is 'depressed'.
I thank God He is just.
"Studies" are done to get grant money, and grants in their turn are given to researchers that produce studies which advance the grantors' agenda.
No way you could get a grant for this kind of study in the USA. Amazing enough that it was done at all, and in Norway at that.
