The Emotional Fallout Although the physical risks of abortion are daunting, the emotional effects are every bit as painful and enduring. Discovering Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS) has changed the thinking of many abortion advocates. The American Journal of Psychiatry reported that of 500 post-abortive women studied, 43 percent showed immediate negative responses. That number grew to 50 percent in a later review. Additionally, up to 10 percent of the women surveyed were classified as having developed “serious psychiatric complications.” “Since abortion was legalized, I have seen hundreds of patients who have had the operation,” one doctor comments. “Approximately 10 percent expressed very little or no concern … Among the other 90 percent there were all shades of distress, anxiety, heartache and remorse.” Nancyjo Mann, founder of Women Exploited by Abortion (WEBA), described her saline abortion as emotionally destructive. Seven months later, at the age of 22, Nancyjo had a total hysterectomy due to abortion complications. Her life plummeted into drugs, depression, promiscuity and prostitution. Shortly after her transformation in 1981, she founded WEBA. Many more women suffer in silence, afraid to tell anyone about their pain because of abortion’s social stigma. And women are not the only ones who suffer. Also, did you know women who have abortions have a higher risk of breast cancer? see this link: cwfa.org
