Written by Dr Greg Pike, the evidence-based review “Abortion and Women’s health”, reveals the horrific impact abortion can have on the mental health of women.

Key findings include:

• A woman who undergoes an abortion is 6 times more likely to commit suicide than a woman who gives birth
• A woman who undergoes an abortion is 30% more likely to suffer from depression compared to a woman who gives birth.
• A woman who undergoes an abortion is 25% more likely to suffer from anxiety compared to a woman that gives birth
• A woman who has had an abortion is at a higher risk of psychiatric admission compared to a woman who gives birth.

A survey of 5 577 biologists in 2018 show that 96% of respondents agreed that human life begins at fertilisation. Steve Jacobs who conducted the survey said “the majority of the sample identified as:

• Liberal: 89%
• Pro-choice: 85%
• Non-religious: 63%”

A new analysis of 423 000 confirmed abortions debunks the common abortion industry narrative that “there is no medical reason to tell a doctor about an abortion”. The analysis revealed that if a pill-related abortion is miscoded as a natural miscarriage in the emergency department, the woman was twice as likely to be admitted for surgery for retained products of conception compared to those who were correctly coded as a chemical abortion. These women were also found to be 78% more likely to have multiple hospital admissions over 30 days compared to those who were coded as chemical abortions. This highlights that there are significant medical reasons to inform a doctor about an abortion. Over 60 percent of pill-related abortions were miscoded as natural miscarriage in 2015.

Medicine and science have advanced majorly since Roe vs Wade in 1973. This includes tremendous advancements in ultrasound, foetal diagnosis, and the ability to do in-utero procedures. Ultrasound in 1973 was unable to clearly define the features of an unborn baby. Modern day ultrasound has made it possible to identify physical features and behaviours of the foetus including yawning, hiccups, thumb sucking and even right or left hand dominance. “Modern developments in our understanding of the humanity of the unborn are anything but ‘slim.’ If you follow the science, it’s clear that unborn children at 15 weeks’ gestation are already amazingly complex human beings”.  Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan incorrectly described modern developments in our scientific understanding of unborn babies as “slim” in their dissent to the Supreme Court’s decision to reverse Roe v. Wade.

The last 3 abortion facilities in the US state of Louisiana are about to be closed down following the reversal of Roe v Wade earlier this year. Mississippi has also closed all such facilities following its landmark case Dobbs v Jackson. After the “momentous” overturning of Roe v Wade, US States such as Louisiana and Mississippi can decide their own abortion laws, and as many as half of US States are now limiting or banning, or are expected to ban abortion, as reported by SPUC. In Louisiana, providers of abortion may now receive US$100 000 fine or up to 10 years in prison. Mississippi is also one of 13 other states that have similar laws.

Half of US States are expected to ban or limit abortion after the US Supreme Court overruled the infamous 1973 ruling that imposed abortion throughout that nation. Abortion will now be limited or banned outright, except in rare cases. Michael Robinson, executive director (Public Affairs and Legal Services) said, “Potentially millions of babies will now go on to live fully-fledged lives because of the repeal of Roe v Wade”… At last apologists for abortion must argue their case democratically and accept the will of pro-life states.”
