The pro-death agenda is far more important than mental health.

wow. just wow. What a bunch of lies! More stories need to come out from women that have had abortions. I have seen and heard a lot of pain in the years to follow, as well as beforehand and directly following. People have even tried committing suicide.

Well, they’re probably right because anyone who aborts a child HAS NO CONSCIENCE therefore abortion doesn’t bother them a bit.

This is why Psychology is not a science. It is an art form at best.

Disgusting. American Psychological Association has no credibility.

The APA position is in accord with that of one of the major political parties, and in opposition to that of the other," Samuel wrote. "When a prestigious organization puts out a report on a politically volatile issue at a time when political passions run particularly high, any imbalance on the task force will not pass unnoticed...We hope you will pause to reflect upon how partisan this will appear."

The APA couldn't care less about appearing partisan. That's pretty much SOP with them.

I have a degree in statistics and it is pretty much true that people like me can manipulate the data to get it to say what we want. I think we have a case of that here.

Remember, this is the group that claims sex between adults and children isn’t necessarily bad for the children.

The way they do these studies is they first select subjects to be studied. Then they do follow-up interviews at intervals over a number of years.

Odds are good they don't go through the list of women who ordered up abortions, but rather the list of women who came in for some sort of psychological or psychiatric evaluation.

Or, possibly even those with a run in with the law ~

Whatever they do to pick up subjects the odds are good that the researchers end up with a group heavily representative of typical sociopathic personality types.

I seriously doubt any of them had the slightest concern for the unborn.

The researchers knew this would be the case when they designed their study and selected the subjects.

That's because, as it turns out, most of those interested in proving that abortion causes no problems are, themselves, sociopaths.

So... Abortion has no negative psychological consequences and homosexuality is a normal form of behavior?

I thing the American Psychological Association is composed of people with serious mental health issues - They are at very least delusional and may be suffering from other schizophrenic tendencies.

A report from the American Psychological Association (APA) published this week claims that there is no meaningful connection between abortion and subsequent psychological disturbances in women. When a woman has a negative psychological consequence, says the report, it is likely only to be in cases where a "wanted" child was aborted for eugenic reasons.

********************

Who takes the APA seriously these days? They've established their bias for some time now.

It's even easier when you ignore and/or distort the evidence so that it says exactly what you want.

These people are stupid. This is on par with claiming that there really are 10 times as many ADHD cases as there were 40 years ago.

Mrozek said this assertion undermines the APA's credibility

The APA's credibility died when thy declared that homosexuality was NOT a mental disorder. Their pronouncements have been worthless ever since.
