Let’s see - murdering innocent unborn is OK. Carrying a gun to protect yourself from predators is not.

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

As untrue as the APA's "findings." Some people have been brought up their entire lives to think it's no big deal; then they had one done, and realized later what a terrible mistake they made. It's not an excuse, but it is a reason...

I'll go ahead and speak for the dozens of post-abortive freeperettes on the forum, and I'll be much more civil than my gut reaction to your comments:

You don't know what you're talking about.

I guess Rachels Vineyard... Founded to help women with mental problems of Abortion is handling Phantom Cases?

This is the same Group that lead to normalizing Homosexuality....

How Come Planned Parenthood in Pa used to call the women 6 months after an abortion to see if they were effected they gave up calling because after doing it for 1.5 years they had nearly 100% girls regretting their abortion..

Talk to a women who has had one.. sometimes it isn’t triggered until their 1st baby is born or their child reaches the age they had the abortion..

This study is more Propoganda..

50,000,000 dead taxpayers effect MY taxes, effect MY Social Security.

Abortion, it’s just MURDER.

>>no meaningful connection between abortion and subsequent psychological disturbances in women>>

I know dozens of post-abortion girls and women who would challenge that conclusion, made by those with an agenda...

Perhaps it would be most honest to say that the damage done to females is spiritual more than physical. Although I know women who cannot have children due to their abortion. Those women are no longr pro-choice...

A lot of people don't realize the implications of this.

When Social Security was implemented, life expectancy was in the early 70s, since then it has gone up considerably due to curing polio, antibiotics and heart surgery. However, the Ponzi scheme was still viable.

Then the Baby Boomers came a long and put further strains on the Ponzi scheme; however, based on the assumption that this generation would reproduce at historical rates, there wouldn't be a problem.

But then the world's most selfish generation decided to murder 50 MILLION children and THIS threw off all of the assumptions for the Social Security and Medicare Ponzi schemes.

Why are so many looking for ways to legalize the illegal aliens? It's not that we need to make the workers legal, they will be here working anyways, the government NEEDS to figure out a way to get another 20 million people paying payroll tax.

I personally know 2 atheist woman who were psychologically devastated by having abortions.

One, unable to travel anywhere near the neighborhood where the abortion was performed, without reliving the horrible sucking sound of the abortion equipment. The APA is only self-serving in their proliferation of nonexistent maladies, while ignoring any disorder which may convey moral judgment.

I think this the same group that says gay is not abnormal. They should have checked Free CredibilityReport.Com first.

>> The real causes of psychological disturbance surrounding abortion, the report says, involves the “stigma, ...

According to this (psychological) logic, all the other causes of disturbance must then be unreal.

I know a woman who confided in me that she had an abortion.

She has been haunted by that decision since she made it.

I have talked to her about the group called Silent No More. I would like to see those psychologist tell those women it did not have an affect upon them.

1. What's the exact name for the Admin Mod? =>> (( Ok, - Admin Moderator seems to work ))
2. The Title of this Article needs an FR b*rf Alert, Yes?

To: Admin Moderator = Some people don't like to change titles when they post, but if the article / study is bogus, it should be CLEARLY stated in the TITLE. Can the Mods do us a favor?

From the article itself; and now that there are numerous posts saying that the study process and results, & the article title are flawed / bogus. ie #45 = ...This study is more Propoganda..

Can Ad Mod edit the Title now? (Suggestions below...)   This title should NOT be on the FR forum, giving people false info. (People may see the headline & not read the article.)

Since they (the APA) did a poor job, the name of the organization should be abbrev. & I would take out the CAPS on the false statement. Not sure if JimRob approves, but when the opposition has a false Title, I think it should be edited. (There are times where we need more than 100 characters in the title.)

Best Suggestion: 100 char / sp. exact
