The effect on the babies is far worse.

Millions of women have had abortions in America. The highly negative impact has hit our whole society.

"The study tracked 1,265 girls born in the 1970s. 41% of these woman became pregnant by the age of 25, and 14.6% (90 women) sought an abortion. By the age of 25, 42% of those who procured an abortion also experienced a major depression."
So that's what... 38 women. Actually it's 37.8, so I suppose one woman was kind of bummed instead of having a major depression.

Selena Ewing, a researcher at the Southern Cross Bioethics Institute, Adelaide, has found that most abortions result from lack of support of pregnant women, from both men and the community. Abortions are also linked with domestic violence. This is the story the pro abortion crowd doesn't want to get out, but I think there are women and young, possibly underage girls who were pressured or outright bullied into an abortion by their boyfriends or boyfriend's mother. Some 'choice'.

Sadly, I think that's true, and women who are pushed into it would be more likely to have conflicted feelings about it afterward, it seems.

Abortion also effects having another baby. A French study of 2,837 births found woman who once had an abortion were 1.7 times more likely to give birth to a baby at less than 28 weeks gestation. Babies born at this point die soon after birth, or suffer serious disability if they survive.
I wonder if this may not be why so many apparently healthy Hollywood actresses (eg., Nicole Kidman, Kirstie Alley, Jennifer Aniston) have so much trouble having children and experience miscarriages.

Idle speculation, since of course you have no idea who has had an abortion and who has not.

Abortion also effects having another baby.I recall a study published in Lancet many years ago that stated 1 in 10 women who had abortions became sterile as a result of the abortion procedure

Silent No More
The National Silent No More Awareness Campaign is an effort to make the public aware of the devastation abortion brings to women, men, and their families. The emotional and physical pain of abortion will no longer be shrouded in secrecy and silence, but rather exposed and healed. This effort is a key to make abortion unthinkable and persuade society that women deserve better than abortion.

Which means 90% didn't.That wasn't the point of my post
The point was another devastating repercussion from having an abortion

Which means 90% didn't. Thanks for the math lesson. It's true that 100-10 is 90.
Here's another truth: Abortion kills an innocent child. That happens 100% of the time.

Ohhhh. I thought you meant it as an argument against it; a 10% chance of complications is not a compelling deterrent to surgical procedures generally. I see what you mean.

The study tracked 1,265 girls born in the 1970s. 41% of these woman became pregnant by the age of 25, and 14.6% (90 women) sought an abortion. By the age of 25, 42% of those who procured an abortion also experienced a major depression. This number was 35% higher than those who had chosen to continue a pregnancy.The oldest of these were only 36 years of age. From what I have seen in several of my own friends, the consequences of abortion continue to worsen, for both the mother AND the father, over time. Particularly if they never have, or could not have, another child.

If you tell a woman that if she has an abortion, she runs a 10% risk of becoming unable to have any children in the future I think you would see a sizable number of women decide that they don't want to take that kind of risk.
Information is power, except in the case of a woman seeking an abortion I suppose.
To: Anitius Severinus Boethius
Maybe, but given that most women seeking abortion are <25 (if I remember correctly), I wonder if they're thinking that far into the future. It might help, I don't know.
To: linda_22003
Well actually I do see it as a compelling reason as most women don't want to take ANY chance for NEVER having a child and its a FACT that this information is NOT being told to women who are thinking of an abortion
It could very well be the reason a woman decides not to have an abortion after all therefore saving a life
