Psychological Problems

Depression and despair are common after abortion.

Women with a recent induced abortion are at increased risk for suicide, especially young women aged below 25 years.

Teenagers who abort are six times more likely to attempt suicide than teens who have not had an abortion.

Compared to women who gave birth, women who aborted were 65% more likely to be at risk of long-term clinical depression.

Future Risks

Women who abort not only put their own lives and health at risk; they also endanger the lives of their current and future children.

Women who abort are more likely to experience future ectopic pregnancies, infertility, hysterectomy, stillbirth, miscarriage, and premature birth than women who have not had abortions.

Women who abort are 144% more likely to physically abuse their children. Women who have undergone previous abortions have a 60% higher risk of miscarriage.

Women who have at least one abortion are 44% more likely to have breast cancer. The risk increases to 76-89% for those who have had at least two or three abortions.
