A new study exposes the link between abortion and suicide, showing that women who have had abortions are far more likely to attempt suicide than those who delivered their babies. This study shows us that abortion does not just take the life of an innocent child; it also often has catastrophic effects on the women involved. As we pray for an end to abortion and the protection of life, let’s also pray for the women who deal with regret and pain.

From The Daily Wire. Women who had abortions were far more likely to attempt suicide than women who delivered their babies, a new study found.

Have you taken your place on the wall?

 

About 35% of the women who had an abortion attempted suicide, according to the study, published last month in the peer-reviewed Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology. …

The study surveyed a total of 2,829 American women between 41 and 45, asking them about their reproductive histories and any history of attempted suicide. …

Women with miscarriages or problematic pregnancies reported lower suicide attempt rates at 30% and 28% respectively. Women who had never been pregnant had a much lower 17% suicide attempt rate, and women who had only successful deliveries had the lowest suicide attempt rate at 13%.

Women who said they felt coerced into an abortion contrary to their own values and preferences had the highest attempted suicide rate at 46%. …

The study concluded that the higher risk of suicide among post-abortive women is not coincidental. …

The survey’s results dovetail with Reardon’s previous 2023 survey that found women say nearly 70% of abortions were unwanted, inconsistent with women’s preferences, or coerced. …
