Remember, there is a human being at the other end of the table taking that kid apart. We've had a couple of guys drinking too much, taking drugs, even a suicide or two. That in itself is a danger to the women undergoing abortions. There are also emotional and mental complications. Post Abortion Syndrome is a very real condition.
Women feel guilt, low self esteem, and depression after abortions.
This is often a delayed reaction, brought on by events like subsequent pregnancies, the anniversary of the abortion, or the due date of the child that was aborted. Another possible emotional complication is sexual dysfunction. Thirty to fifty percent of aborted women report experiencing sexual dysfunction, of both short and long duration, beginning immediately after their abortions. Experts agree that during the past 25 years the rate of child abuse has increased dramatically. Instead, there is a clear statistical association between increased rates of abortion and increased rates of child abuse.
