Yep, killing the baby is far more important than the mother's health.

Well the pro-choice group would argue the depression comes from the pressure of pro-life groups and not from any true moral guilt.
That means that Arianna Huffington must've had like 1000 abortions.
Well, they would be lying of course. If there were not pre-existing "true moral guilt," whatever that means, your so-called "pressure" would make no difference.
I have counselled dozens of women traumatized by abortion and not one yet has mentioned ever feeling such hypothetical "pressure of pro-life groups."

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)
The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions — California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.

Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)
· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing
· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby
· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child
· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)
· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career
· 7.9% of women want no (more) children
· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health
2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health

So how many women’s lives have been saved by abortion?
Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be “due to a risk to maternal health.” A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But let’s say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.
Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

RIGHT, the guilt of killing a child can't possibly be a factor. (EXTREME sarcasm)
You do realize that FR is a PRO-LIFE forum don't you?
How could you possibly know this. Do you have any proof?
We all know that, I am sure you have seen the video of the Rockford abortion clinic which shows the true nature of those who support abortion.
When you were wandering around the Internet on Christmas Day, looking for a place to spread Satan’s message, you wandered into the wrong house. This is Free Republic. A very Christian, very Conservative forum. Take your message over to DU and/or Daily KOS.
This guy is about 35 years behind the times. It’s been known for at least that long that having an abortion causes mental and/or health problems for pretty much every woman who has one.

Wrong.
That’s a wonderful site where men and women alike can go for healing. Thanks for posting it.
I love Father Pavone. He’s a man of integrity. He lives what he preaches, and he preaches God’s message.
A statistic I would love to know that will never see the light of day......how many girls/women were rendered sterile after a legal abortion? This is a real possibility but no one ever talks about this.
