I'm the first one to be irreverent, derisive, mock those with incurable moonbat madness disease but the extent in which this drivel is straight out the bowels of hell, the worst sort of journalistic pornography ever to puke its way out of what is the demented liberal mindset, in its most cynical, disingenuous form I've ever seen, the gravity of recklessness is beyond the pale.
Let's just examine the seeming rationale for what this study is supposed to infer. Maybe, I'm missing something, maybe someone might see what I am incapable of; I couldn't get myself to get much beyond the first few paragraphs so incensed was I by the casual tone, sense of disconnectedness in which the author conveyed herself. So what conclusion, what link does this so-called study try to establish?? Is it supposed to ameliorate the feat, encourage the implementation of abortion?? That somehow because abortion is deigned less traumatic, proves what?????
The fact is the perspective in which this study was posed is inherently faulty, fallacious. Abortion less traumatic than childbirth?
Not to the aborted child.
It ought to be possible to oppose killing infants without being an apocalyptic ninny.
and, therefore, it stands to reason they are more likely to make poor decisions - like having an abortion to begin with

Living without Liberals, Communist, Progressives, Study Finds....
I can’t wrap my mind around the idea that an unnatural act of massacre requiring the intervention of morally derelict monsters is somehow less traumatic than the NATURAL act of creating life.
Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark.
Assumptions according to excerpt
- the child is not wanted to begin with
- women not seeking abortion were excluded from the study
And not to forget as described by Obama, the baby’s a ‘burdern’ after all.
After our daughters were born, my wife and I were the happiest people on earth.
These people are sick. Sick in a NAZI death camp sort of way.

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)
The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)
· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing
· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby
· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child
· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)
· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career
· 7.9% of women want no (more) children
· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health
2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So how many womens lives have been saved by abortion?
Less than 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be due to a risk to maternal health. A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But lets say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.
Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

BINGO!
After spending some time working in a crisis pregnancy center, I call BS here. This study is too limited in scope to be seriously considered. How about conducting a real study for the woman’s lifetime. They could follow her on what would have been her child’s birthday. It is traumatic, trust me. The women usually come to a realization and understanding of abortion later and deeply regret it. I have seen and heard their stories. Help them recover and learn from their mistakes. Please do not reject them for their sins of their youth. We cannot help them if we reject them. They are capable of becoming great mothers and then helping other women in similar situations.
Mental/emotional health is — what? Killing a pre-born baby? Checking to see if that growing mass is just a huge internal wart? Checked out by — what method for identification?
Pah!
“Sought counseling,”
“sought psychiatric treatment,” and
“had emotional problems to begin with,”
are not all the same thing; so we need not care what their conclusions are, but rather what their agenda is.
To be Abortion Minded is Death. They are Abortion Minded, therefore twisted logic is used to justify their immorality. For they believe they are exempt from the Commandment "Thou Shalt Not Kill".
LIBERAL_BIZZARRO_WORLD_PING!
Exactly. What is more traumatic than being in a SAFE place and seeing death coming in after you?! Horrible. Unspeakably traumatic...and EVIL.
THOSE THAT PROMOTE BABY MURDER WILL STAND BEFORE GOD... YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE IN HIM... BUT HE BELIEVES IN YOU. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Rose Kennedy had like 10 kids & lived past 100. I think that while there is some short-term tearing with childbirth, Nature actually rewards the mother with health benefits (mom’s don’t get sick as often, etc)
