Aborto

Abortion in young girls between the ages of 15 to 19 years old
* About 76% per cent of girls who had abortions and 80% of girls who gave birth were between the ages of 15 and 19 during the surveyand the rest were younger teenagers.
* Previous studies have found that younger abortion patients may be more likely to experience difficulties coping after abortion compared to older women. Thatmay be because they are more likely to be pressured into unwanted abortions or to undergo abortions later in the pregnancy, leading to more physical and emotional risk.
* Coleman pointed outthat, while having a child as a teen may be problematic, "the risks of terminating seem to be even more pronounced."
* "The scientific evidence is now strong and compelling," Coleman said. "Abortionposes more risks to women than giving birth."
* The results of the study are also important because about one-fourth of the abortions that take place annually in the United States are done onteenagers, according to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a Planned Parenthood affiliate.

Abortions Cause Psychological Damage More Than Unwanted Pregnancies
Since many post-aborted women userepression as a coping mechanism, there may be a long period of denial before a woman seeks psychiatric care. These repressed feelings may cause psychosomatic illnesses and psychiatric or behavioral in otherareas of her life. As a result, some counselors report that unacknowledged post-abortion distress is the causative factor in many of their female patients, even though their patients have come to themseeking therapy for seemingly unrelated problems.
In a study of post-abortion patients only 8 weeks after their abortion, researchers found that 44% complained of nervous disorders, 36% hadexperienced sleep disturbances, 31% had regrets about their decision, and 11% had been prescribed psychotropic medicine by their family doctor.
