Women's Suicide Rates Higher After Abortion

Springfield, IL (LifeNews.com) A new study of women in Finland finds that those who have had abortions have higher rates of suicide than women who carry their pregnancies to term. The epidemiological study, published in the European Journal of Public Health, was conducted by Finland’s National Research and Development Center for Welfare and Health.

The comprehensive three-year study of the entire population of women in Finland found that, compared to women who have not been pregnant in the prior year, deaths from suicide, accidents and homicide are 248% higher in the year following an abortion.

The study also found that majority of the extra deaths among women who had abortions were due to suicide. The suicide rate among women who had abortions was six times higher than that of women who had given birth in the prior year and double that of women who had miscarriages.

The researchers looked at data between 1987 and 2000 on all deaths among women of reproductive age (15 to 49). [Entire Story]

This is a confirmation of earlier research and is not a surprise to most of us who understand that abortion is a traumatic experience for both the mother and child and, as such, has lasting adverse effects and requires long-term counseling. How pro-death advocates can say that they are pro-woman is beyond my comprehension, especially when destruction of life for the woman is a strong probablity. It is simply a lie -- anyone who cares about someone else does not desire death for that individual -- whether it be death of a physical, emotional, or spiritual nature.

  1. The mainstream media won't touch that story.

    It doesn't fit into their 'world view'.
