Re: The catch-22
I've found cons willing to accept and help women that have had one.
I'm not sure what you mean by "help".
99.9% of women who have had an abortion don't need any post abortion "help".
You can't mean post-abortion syndrome? Can you? Surely a reasonable man such as yourself couldn't possibly buy such dreck.
A woman that suffers guilt (or some other adverse psychological rxn), might get sucked in by "abortion trauma clinics" or "abortion trauma self help groups" -- and I suppose you might categorize that as "help".
Mostly, tho, beaten half silly with the guilt stick by their "counselors", the women are "helped" to drown in their self-imposed pain.
Here's a snippet from a "PAS" site:
Consider Other Risks of Abortion
Abortion and Preterm Birth:
Women who undergo one or more induced abortions carry a significantly increased risk of delivering prematurely in the future. Premature delivery is associated with higher rates of cerebral palsy, as well as other complications of prematurity (brain, respiratory, bowel, and eye problems).
Abortion and Breast Cancer:
Medical experts are still researching and debating the linkage between abortion and breast cancer. Here are some important facts:
* Carrying your first pregnancy to full term gives protection against breast cancer. Choosing abortion causes loss of that protection.
* A number of reliable studies have concluded that there may be a link between abortion and the later development of breast cancer.
A 1994 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found: “Among women who had been pregnant at least once, the risk of breast cancer in those who had experienced an induced abortion was 50% higher than among other women.”
Emotional and Psychological Impact:
There is evidence that abortion is associated with a decrease in both emotional and physical health. For some women these negative emotions may be very strong, and can appear within days or after many years. This psychological response is a form of post-traumatic stress disorder. Some of the symptoms are:
* Eating disorders
* Relationship problems
* Guilt
* Depression
* Flashbacks of abortion
* Suicidal thoughts
* Sexual dysfunction
* Alcohol and drug abuse
Spiritual Consequences
People have different understandings of God. Whatever your present beliefs may be, there is a spiritual side to abortion that deserves to be considered. Having an abortion may affect more than just your body and your mind -- it may have an impact on your relationship with God. What is God's desire for you in this situation? How does God see your unborn child? These are important questions to consider.
Oh. My. Effing. Gawd.
Abortion & breast cancer??? That's complete bullshit.
Abortion & premature birth??? More bullshit.
God won't love you???
Yeah.
Those cons. They'll help you ... to death.
