Dear (desperate?) Mother-in-Waiting,<\/p>\n

Please. Don’t do this to yourself:<\/p>\n

Study finds abortion raises risk of mental health problems by 81%<\/a><\/p>\n

Researchers behind a new study on abortion have discovered that women who have abortions experience an astonishing 81% increase in the risk of mental health problems.<\/p>\n

Published in the prestigious British Journal of Psychiatry, the ground breaking paper also found that almost 10% of all<\/i> mental health problems are shown to be directly linked to abortion.<\/p>\n

The analysis, conducted by Priscilla K. Coleman from Bowling Green State University, Ohio, USA, is the largest study of its kind and is based on 22 published studies, with a combined number of participants totalling over 850,000.<\/p>\n

The results also revealed that the increased risk for anxiety disorders was 34%; for depression it was 37%; for alcohol abuse it was 110%, for marijuana use it was 220%, and for suicide behaviours it was 155%.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The fetus within you is different than an organ or a mere growth. (Removing the cyst on my jaw wouldn’t have such mental health risks associated with it.)<\/p>\n

I know. I can talk. I’m a man. And if I were a woman, I’m not in your shoes.<\/p>\n

But right is right, not because of who we are, but because God is.<\/p>\n

May you know Him near.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nMark<\/p>\n
