According to a new study published in the peer-reviewed journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology, women who have abortions are more likely to attempt to commit suicide than women who delivered their babies.
It’s almost as if murdering their unborn babies has a mental and emotional toll on women, in addition to the physical trauma their body goes through. The body always keeps score, mentally and physically.
According to the study, 35% of the women who had an abortion attempted to commit suicide, compared to the 13% suicide rate of women who successfully gave birth to their babies.
Daily Wire reports:
The study surveyed a total of 2,829 American women between 41 and 45, asking them about their reproductive histories and any history of attempted suicide. The women were asked to rank how much their pregnancy outcome contributed to any suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, and self-destructive behaviors.
Women with miscarriages or problematic pregnancies reported lower suicide attempt rates at 30% and 28% respectively. Women who had never been pregnant had a much lower 17% suicide attempt rate, and women who had only successful deliveries had the lowest suicide attempt rate at 13%.
Women who said they felt coerced into an abortion contrary to their own values and preferences had the highest attempted suicide rate at 46%.
More than half the women who had abortions and attempted suicide said their abortions were a “moderate to high” contributor to their suicide attempts. Women who said they felt coerced into abortion were particularly likely to say it was a major contributor to their suicide attempt.
How sad. These women have been lied to, as abortion clinics and society have told them that abortions are empowering and their “right” when in reality, it wrecks their hormones and fills them with the guilt of murdering their own baby.
“Abortion was significantly more likely to be associated with self-destructive thoughts and suicidal thoughts or behaviors compared to all three other pregnancy outcomes,” the study read.
“Women who experience pregnancy losses, either induced or natural, are at higher risk of suicidal and self-destructive thoughts and behaviors,” said researcher David Reardon, in the study.
“Exposure to abortion, especially when the abortion is contrary to the values and preferences of the pregnant women, may contribute to higher rates of suicide attempts, suicidal thoughts, and self-destructive behaviors,” Reardon concluded.
