Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

I personally know of 2 suicides that occured because of abortion. God only know ho w many have occured where a note is not left and so no one knows it is abortion related. Please pray that those suffering find th ehealing and peace they need and that only god can give them. The following is from the Elliot Institute:

 September is Suicide Awareness Month.

The upcoming holidays can also raise suicide risk. Save lives and educate the public about unwanted abortions and post-abortion suicide.
"Three children are growing up without their mom … because nobody wanted to ask questions.”
You may have noticed that the topic of suicide has been in the local and national news recently. September is Suicide Awareness Month. While people are talking about it and it's in the news, this is a good time to join the discussion by sharing seldom-heard but significant evidence about abortion and suicide.
The Elliot Institute continues to document evidence of pre-abortion exploitation and higher post-abortion maternal death rates, including higher rates of suicide.
Mortality studies have found a three times higher risk of suicide in the first year among women who had an abortion vs. women in the general population, and a six times higher risk vs. women who gave birth. The highest suicide rate was within two months of the abortion. And record-based studies in California found that women with a history of abortion had higher rates of psychiatric treatment.

Mothers and families — especially teens — may be at risk of unwanted abortions and post-abortion heartbreak. (See also Men, Abortion and Suicide.)
