Abortion Increases Mental Problems and Mortality Rates

ORLANDO, FL - Research has now confirmed that women who have abortions have an increased risk of psychological issues and even violent death. A study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry shows that women who have an abortion face an increased risk for mental health problems, including substance abuse, anxiety and depression. Researchers analyzed data on 877,000 women, including 164,000 who had an abortion. They found that women who had an abortion experienced an 81 percent increased risk for mental problems. These women were 34 percent more likely to develop an anxiety disorder, 37 percent more likely to experience depression, 110 percent more likely to abuse alcohol, 155 percent more likely to commit suicide, and 220 percent more likely to use marijuana.
