The research shows that nearly all the women who ended the pregnancy with abortion regretted that decision. Conversely, those who gave birth to their child were all happy they did. I will never regret that I chose to give life to my daughter. After all, it does not matter how we began in life. What matters is what we will do with our lives.
Abortion increases the trauma of sexual assault or abuse.
But childbirth reduces these risks. Indeed, the very experience of abortion, physically and emotionally, is similar to rape. However, the woman feels more responsible for the abortion, even if she agrees to it under pressure. Pregnant incest victims are often young girls, frequently unaware they are pregnant. Years later, they realize what happened and are vulnerable to more psychological problems.
