Yes, Post-Abortion Grief IS Real

Here's a great article by Chelsea Schilling:

Is abortion psychologically safe for would-be mothers and fathers?

While the American Psychological Association claims the answer is "yes," men and women who have experience with abortion are speaking out about their emotional torment following the procedure.

At Chicago's Reclaiming Fatherhood conference this week, psychologists, counselors, academics, clergy and people who have been impacted by abortion revealed APA claims may not be true after all.

Rather than attributing emotional grief to the abortion itself, the APA suggested psychological trauma may coincide with poverty, exposure to violence, history of emotional problems, drug and alcohol abuse and previous unwanted births.

The idea that abortion does not negatively impact the health of would-be parents has even been accepted by politicians. Sen. Barack Obama's campaign went so far as to suggest denying women abortions could jeopardize their health. A recent radio ad approved by his campaign cautioned against voting for the Republican ticket because, "[I]f Roe v Wade is overturned, the lives and health of women will be put at risk."

However, psychologist Dr. Vincent Rue, a psychotherapist for more than 30 years and former faculty member at California State University at Los Angeles and San Diego International University, disputed the claims. In a statement, he said regardless of the APA's stance, abortion has devastated the emotional health of men and women.

Here in Canada there's a Silent No More group which represents women who were misled by the pro-aborts into believing that the unborn is merely a "clamp of cells"; who had an abortion and who regret it now. Just read their testimonies. Their personal experience proves the existence of post-abortion grief better than any professor would ever do. Their pain and suffering should be a lesson to all of us: abortion doesn't make a woman "unpregnant". It makes her a mother of a dead baby.
