The Aftereffects of Abortion
November 21, 2006
In the 1973 the United States Supreme Court struck down every federal, state, and local law regulating or restricting the practice of abortion. This action was based on the premise that the state’s no longer had any need to regulate abortion because the advances of modern medicine had now made abortion “relatively safe.” Therefore, the Justices concluded, it is unconstitutional to prevent physicians from providing abortions as a “health” service to women.34
National abortion policy is built upon this judicial “fact” that abortion is a “safe” procedure. If this “fact” is found to be false, then national policy toward abortion must be re-evaluated. Indeed, if it is found that abortion may actually be dangerous to health of women, there is just cause for governments to regulate or prohibit abortion in order to protect their citizens. This is especially true since over 1.5 million women undergo abortions each year.
Since the Court’s ruling in 1973, there have been many studies into the aftereffects of abortion. Their combined results paint a haunting picture of physical and psychological damage among millions of women who have undergone abortions.

Unfortunately i am prrof that abortion leaves deep emotional problems.Many people think that its only religious people that enccounter these problems but I think most women go through this beacause we know what we did is terrible! Since having an abortion 2 years ago I have suffered with anxiety,depression & panic attacks.I still have not been able to recooperate emotionally.What makes me even more sad is that noone wants to talk about this sort of subject.They look down on you as if youhave committed the ultimate sin & maybe we have.Thats why we need deep psychological help.
