Sadly, it does not surprise me to read in this article that there will be an International Congress of the Royal College of Psychiatrists this summer that will totally ignore and seek to disprove the association between abortion and mental illness. This professional has caused and continues to cause more trauma for those of us who were impacted by our abortions, but thanks to God, as we are being healed we are able to confirm to one another what these pro abortion psychiatirst refuse to admit.

Shutting Down the Debate: Abortion and Mental Health

by Pravin Thevathasan

That there are psychological consequences to having an abortion have been accepted by many in the pro-life and pro-abortion camps. The psychiatrist Professor Ian Brockington has commented: “Some [post abortion] mothers feel like criminals and brood over the dead foetus. Some find it hard to look at small babies and burst into tears when they see babies or when abortion is mentioned.”(1)

Perhaps most importantly, the “pro-choice” Professor David Fergusson reported in 2008 in the British Journal of Psychiatry (BJP) that his research shows that women who have abortions are twice as likely to suffer mental health issues and three times more likely to suffer specifically from depression than women who have either given birth or never been pregnant.

And yet there is an ideological drive to state that there are no psychological consequences to having an abortion.
