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. As David Reardon observes, Lorena Bobbitt may have been willing to tolerate her husband, John's, verbal and physical abuse if at least she had been allowed the dignity of being a mother. If a woman has grieved silently for months and years after her abortion, she may battle periods of depression which often lead to problems with alcohol and eating disorders. Sometimes suicide is considered.
Abortion is an act of violence.
Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. The writing is on the wall. Studies at the Medical College of Ohio and the Elliot Institute have found that between 30 and 50 percent of women who suffer from post-abortion psychological disorders experienced increased physical or emotional reactions on the anniversary dates of their abortion or due date of the child. It denies the maternal nature of women and it can lead to spiritual, emotional, and sexual destruction. Abortion continues a process of separating the mind from the heart.
