Abortion Approval May Unbalance Morale Law

Abortion is not permitted in some countries, because it may unbalance our society.

Some women that abort, especially young or teenaged women, experience a strong psychological trauma, which eventually sends them to hospitals from their level of guilt that they end up carrying.

Springfield, IL -- Six months after her abortion, Jane had a mental breakdown. When she later delivered a healthy son, unresolved grief over her abortion contributed to severe post-partum psychosis. "I remember wanting to throw him out the window of the hospital room," she later told her therapist. (http://www.afterabortion.org/news/outpatient1.html)

Our society can get unbalanced because of traumas that women obtain.

This problem can be so hard and their conscience, that they can commit suicide.

This affects families in our society, in an emotional way.

Springfield, IL (Nov. 29, 2005) — 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, according to a new 13-year study of the entire population of women in Finland.

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.

There are 3 stages that a woman that wants to abort may pass through, and it may negatively affect morale.

1. She is pregnant, and doesn’t know what to do with the baby, so a friend of hers gives her an advice. This advice is to abort the baby. Then she keeps this in mind along with other advice that people she knows told her.

2. The second level is about the morale and values that she has.

She begins to think about abortion, she talks with her parents about the situation. She knows that is not right, because of her values and education she received in her home.

Society has shown to young citizens “if you have a problem run away, avoid it or get rid of it”. She doesn’t want to lose her youth, because it can happen that she does not have maturity to carry such a big responsibility.

Finally, she has decided to abort the baby.

3. Stage 3: Sooner or later, she has recognized her big mistake.

Now is the time when she feels guilty about the abortion.

Church says that an abortion is considered a crime, the same as committing murder. So this lady has committed a crime, so another crime will be easier to commit.

When she gets older and wants to form a family, she might not be able to make it, because of the blame and guilt she will feel. The memory of what she did could give her a psychological disorder.
