Dear ProLife Colleague The emotional toll that induced abortion takes on the pregnant woman does not end when the abortion is over. In certain way, it only begins, and many women have sadly found the “abortion is forever” —as much at the “experts” would like us to believe otherwise—see https://www.aaplog.org/complications-of-induced-abortion/induced-abortion-and-mental-health/aaplog-response-to-the-apa-task-force-report/ Women are, after all, beautiful human and nurturing beings, not some kind of sexual robot that mindlessly spits out unwanted parts. (and WHAT are the males who expect them to do this??) The medical evidence for the emotional toll of abortion can be reviewed at https://www.aaplog.org/complications-of-induced-abortion/induced-abortion-and-mental-health/ Commentary on A New Study from China can be found at: www.wecareexperts.org PLEASE NOTE: This is a new website dedicated to bringing you the most complete and up-to-date scientific literature on abortion complications, especially in the area of mental health.

More Evidence of Increased Psychological Risks Associated with Abortion There are several take home messages from this study: 1) This study adds to the rapidly accumulating world literature on abortion and mental health. Even in a culture wherein abortion is widespread and is mandated by the government after women give birth once, the magnitude of psychological risks are comparable to those identified in other parts of the world (e.g., Australia, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, US). 2) The 1st trimester of a later pregnancy may be the most difficult time for women, who have experienced an induced abortion, since the majority of abortions occur early in pregnancy. 3) The psychological experience of abortion is more likely to be associated with long-term psychological distress than spontaneous abortion.
