Rather than bringing them closer together, as she had hoped, the news of her pregnancy drove them apart. John cursed at her. Aborting against her conscious, she was morally devastated. We have become an environmentally concerned generation. We do an injustice to women when we fail to consider the facts.
Abortion is an unnatural act which interrupts mother-infant bonding.
In order to protect herself, the mother forms an ice wall around her heart which may later come between herself and other children. Dr. Phillip Ney, a psychiatrist and professor from Canada, shows a direct relationship between the rise in the number of abortions and an increased incident of child abuse. Ney theorizes that the violent act of abortion, compounded by the mother's guilt and unresolved grief following an abortion, lessens her instinctual restraint against harming her other children, thus leading to more child abuse. If a woman has been forced to have an abortion, the woman may harbor a growing anger toward men. She may distrust men and view them as the cause of her pain and grief.
