Janet Bobe was 13 years old, and she got pregnant at 4 months ago. Janet Bobe went through an abortion a month ago, and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. It wasn’t my choice.

Women who had to carry unwanted pregnancies had more negative outcomes with physical health and economic stability, such as their higher rates of hypertension, which is unusually high blood pressure and chronic pelvic pain, after the birth. Those women were also three times as likely to end up in poverty two years later, than women who had gotten the abortion they had wanted. Even though most of the women grow to love the child they had originally not wanted, five percent still feel that they would have rather had gone through with the abortion. A very complex and ongoing study has found no correlation between having symptoms of anxiety and depression, and with having an abortion, but those who did not get abortions did show more signs of anxiety over the next few months after being turned away by abortion centers.

This could be done at different times of pregnancy, from the day after conception, to the day that the baby is expected. Whether they are the same or not is argued about by opposing stances on the subject. There are two opposite stances on abortion. These stances are pro-choice and pro-life.

    Women who have had abortions suffer an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and suicide. A study published in a recent edition of the Journal of Anxiety Disorders found that women who aborted their unintended pregnancies were 30 percent more likely to subsequently report all the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder than those women who had carried their unintended pregnancies to term. A study of a state-funded medical insurance program in California published in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry in 2002 showed that the rate of mental health claims for women who aborted was 17 percent higher than those who had carried their children to term. And, according to a 1996 article in the British Medical Journal and a 2002 article in the Southern Medical Journal, the risk of death from suicide is two to six times higher for women who have had abortions when compared, again, with women who have given birth.…
