Title: New Research Reveals Abortion Harmful to Women’s Mental Health
Topic: Abortion and Women’s Mental Health

Discussed by Jeanne Monahan
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)

In a meta-analysis published by the British Journal of Psychiatry, 81 percent of females who had an abortion were found to be at an increased risk for mental health problems.

The study also reveals that as many as ten percent of all mental health problems are directly attributable to abortion.

The mental health problems associated with abortion include depression, alcohol abuse and suicidal behaviors. Jeanne Monahan states: “women need to know this information; they have the right to informed consent before choosing abortion.”
