Distress Caused by Abortion Can Linger for Years, Study Says -- GOPUSA

(CNSNews.com) -- A new study in Europe has found that women can experience feelings of anxiety, guilt and shame years after having an abortion, a finding in line with arguments long advanced by prolifers.
Comparing women who had a miscarriage with those who had an abortion, researchers at the University of Oslo learned that while members of the former group were found to be more distressed in the short-term, the longer-term mental effects were more marked among those who had an abortion.
The results were published in the December edition of BMC Medicine, a London-based medical journal.
Ten days after the loss of the child, 47.5 percent of women in the study who had miscarried suffered from some degree of mental distress, compared with 30 percent of those in the abortion group.
After six months, the proportion of those who had a miscarriage and were still suffering from distress had dropped to 22.5 percent, and after five years to just 2.6 percent.
By contrast, of those who had an abortion 25.7 percent were still affected after six months, and 20 percent - one in five - still experienced distress after five years.
"Women who had an abortion experienced high levels of anxiety, feelings of guilt, shame and relief and had to make efforts to avoid thoughts about the event," the researchers said.
Their work highlighted the importance of providing women with information about the psychological effects of losing a baby, whether as a result of a miscarriage of abortion.
"The difference in the courses of responses may partly result from the different characteristics of the two pregnancy termination events," the journal concluded.
Abortion Concern is an organization in New Zealand which, while not promoting a prolife or pro-abortion view, believes women are too often not given the type of information they need to make an informed decision when considering whether or not to have an abortion.
It says the real "right to choose" should include the right to choose not to have an abortion, and also encourages women who have had abortions to tell their stories.
Abortion Concern says many women suffer ill-effects after abortions. It lists some of the symptoms of post-abortion distress as anxiety, guilt, regret, sadness, depression, inability to concentrate, lowered self-esteem, substance abuse, eating disorders, sexual dysfunction, compulsions to touch or avoid babies, and suicidal impulses.

THE NORTHWIND OF AWAKENING!
THE SUPREME COURT:THE IM(PEDIMENT) WHICH OVERSHADOWS AUTHORITY WILL FALL AND CRUMBLE SO THAT TRUE LIBERTY AND JUSTICE MAY BE FRAMED IN !
By Glenn Taylor
A Prophetic Perspective of the Recent Falling Marble:
Is it possible that Vermont and her neighbor are a key to the rebuilding of this pediment?
The marble used in building the Supreme Court was actually quarried in Vermont and If you don't know... (architecturally) a pediment is a fancy peak of a building which contains the sculptured facade.
Last Monday a basketball sized piece of Vermont marble fell off the U.S. Supreme Court Bldg. This piece fell from above the figure of Authority, near the peak of the building's pediment, and to the
right of the figure of Liberty, who has the scales of justice on her lap! After bouncing off the lower frame of the pediment, (approximately at the words "Under"), this piece crumbled into approximately 40
pieces before pelleting the steps of the entrance of the building!
This event occurred two days before the court was to hear the New Hampshire case on Parental Notification (Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of New England).
This is the first abortion related case to be heard in five years and the second case since the 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey reaffirmed the so called Constitutional protection.
Could the Lord be giving us a sign through this seemingly natural act?!
While in Vermont in 2004, Chuck Pierce said that Vermont is the "sleeping Beauty" of the nation... and proclamations began to be made that she is awakening! Like the Vermont marble, the hidden beauty in the venation shall be seen!
Vermont shall awaken to see the beauty of the face of the Lord and shall become a reflection of the face of His beauty to the entire nation! The ugliness that has originated from VT shall be turned back and once again VT shall be a leader of righteousness and justice to the nation!
During Chuck's recent October visit to Vermont we declared the release of the blowing of the North Wind! This wind is the wind of REFORMATION and REVIVAL that will sweep this nation.
Beginning in the early 70's, VT has been used as a test state to spread a liberal agenda to the rest of the country! (Google for the article: "Taking Over Vermont" by Richard Pollak in April, 1972 Playboy Magazine)
Wouldn't it be like the Lord to initiate reversals from origination points! Think about it... New England, the roots of "the Great Reformation." Certainly God has (as we say) a sense of humor, and He has done this before! I believe that this wind has already blown through New Hampshire and has made its way to D.C.!
Don't forget that in 1777, Vermont was the first territory to abolish slavery within its own limits and on Dec. 9, 1820 was one one of the first to declare war upon it without! We must be mindful of this and redig the wells of abolitionist revival! As Will Ford says "Somebody should drink of this well."
Planned ParentHOOD's VT Connection
When I began this article I was unaware, but after more news was released about the upcoming case... I discovered that Planned Parenthood of Northern New England is the lead plaintiff in the N.H. Parental Notification case that was heard at the Supreme Court on Nov. 30th. Coincidentally, they are based in Williston, Vermont and also have 27 (so called Health Clinics) in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
This is the connection with the falling VT marble at the Supreme Court last Monday! THE ROOTS ARE IN VT!
Vermont will also be hearing a "Death with Dignity" and possibly our own Parental Notification bill in this next VT legislative session beginning in January. I believe there is a reversal of the direction of these evils from VT and NH and it will begin to liberate the rest of our country!
What about the granite State our (neighbors), and what does this have to do with falling marble at the Supreme Court and sweeping winds?
Two years ago, "the Old Man of the Mountain" mysteriously lost his face when the symbol of the New Hampshire state fell off the side of Profile Mountain in a landslide (significant?) Was there a prophetic significance of the old stubborn, isolated and courageous man's face falling off on May 3, 2003?
N.H.'s FACIAL CHALLENGE
I believe God had given a sign that N.H. was no longer to be independent and stubborn and that the strongholds of religion had broken off! They were given an opportunity to "Live free or die", which takes on a new meaning when you look at it in the context of "Choose you this day whom you will serve"... and "TODAY I have set before you LIFE and DEATH... CHOOSE LIFE." New Hampshire has long resisted any abortion restrictions!
Amazingly the NH falling event happened the month before the New Hampshire Legislature was considering the Parental Notification Bill which is currently being reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court! The bill was signed by Governor Benson on June 19, 2003!
I believe the prophetic connection and significance of this symbol representing "the granite state" falling off and the recent U.S. SUPREME COURT "Vermont marble" falling incident is in the legal term Facial Challenge!
The term Facial Challenge is a legal term. It means that a law must be accepted "at Face Value" as written and must be able to be applied in every situation or the whole bill is thrown out. It is also referred to as the "Salerno rule" after the 1987 case which applies in most other cases. New Hampshire states that the case should not be governed by the "no set of circumstances" standard articulated in United States v. Salerno, 481 U.S. 739 (1987).
The law would also be a step towards reversing Roe v. Wade, since the bill defines a fetus as "any individual human organism from fertilization until birth."
God is speaking through New Hampshire's humility in upholding parental notification. The involvement of God's ordained structure (Parents in the family)...will ultimately lead to the preserving our society in America. Parental authority must be upheld by the states and most importantly the U.S. Supreme Court. Parents must be informed of a pregnant minors intentions to have an abortion... to enable otherwise (by Law) is to undermine the family and to place the mother and life of the baby at risk! In a society where a minor cannot even be dispensed an aspirin by the school nurse without parental permission... Will we allow our young women to have a medical procedure with the possibilities of complications as well as lasting physical and emotional scars? Pregnancy is a stressful and confusing time for youths who need family support and guidance in their decision making.
Massachusetts and other states already have Notification laws which have proven constitutionally as long as teens have recourse to lower courts in lieu of parental notification. This is not the the sticking point in question in this Supreme Court case.
Of course, we know that Planned ParentHOOD wants to prevent and do away with any law which places an accountability from them to inform others of what they really are doing! They want to stop all legislation which hinders their ability to perform abortions and continue to sway the vulnerable into their mass propaganda lies.
At question in the N.H. Law, is that it does not have an exemption for medical emergencies (the smokescreen) which realistically, is only a possibility in a small fraction of the cases to which it applies. The claim is that of protecting a minors health, when we know it is really to protect women's Reproductive health and not a particular young minor woman's health! Who are they trying to fool? More women are put into jeopardy everyday through their procedures... and they are insistent that a young minor may become sterile if her abortion is postponed to make a phone call!
In the meantime, parents have not been notified, and a countless # of babies have been lost since the New Hampshire Legislators passed the Law two years ago!
Our Prayers should continue to be that the Justices allow the Salerno Rule to be applied! This will allow other individual cases to challenge (the "undue burden" of women's health- the standard set forth by Justice O'Connor), and allow cases to be tested on an individual basis!
Lets continue to Pray for this N.H. case which started 11/30. Pray for the Justices, the appointment of Judge Samuel Alito and that Justice O'Connor is not on the court when the verdict is written in March!
I believe this case is the beginning of the removal of the facade of Deception that will allow abortion to be seen at face value for what it really is!
Interestingly, on the Nov. 30 (the day of this Court case)... other news articles were The First Face Transplant, and Children's Bodies Identified: Authorities discuss two N.H. children found in Ohio who had been missing since 2003. Also on Nov. 28, 2000 the Supreme Court agreed to hear Bush v. Gore!
I believe that God is shouting at us!... Just as He changed the face of "The Old Man"... God is changing the face (facade) of the Supreme Court and will cause true justice to be framed in!
Pray that the winds of reformation will sweep and revive the face of America!

Prayer Alert: U.S. Supreme Court Hears Case on Parental Notification
http://www.breakingchristiannews.com
by Steven H. Aden / Aimee Herd reporting Dec 1, 2005
Oral arguments began yesterday in an important case involving a New Hampshire law that requires young women to notify their parents prior to obtaining an abortion.
The constitutionality of the law is being challenged by Planned Parenthood.
Defending the law is the Christian Legal Society (CLS), along with the Alliance Defense Fund, the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Christian Medical Association, the Catholic Medical Association, the National Association of Evangelicals, and Concerned Women for America.
According to a press release on the Christian Wire Service, the brief filed by the CLS "sets forth medical evidence refuting Planned Parenthood's contention that young girls must obtain immediate abortions whenever acute medical complications occur during pregnancy.
The brief demonstrates that abortion can pose a greater risk to a young mother's health than continuing the pregnancy."
Steven H. Aden, Chief Litigation Counsel of CLS said, "New Hampshire's statute properly balances the role of parents, the best interests of young girls and appropriate medical considerations."

Finnish Study Shows Women's Suicide Rates Highest after an Abortion
by Amy Sobie / Aimee Herd reporting
Dec 1, 2005 : Elliot Institute, CWShttp://www.earnedmedia.org/elliot1130.htm
Editor's Note: While suicide, of course, is never good news, this report reveals the truth of the horrible toll that abortion takes, not only in the death of a baby, but also in the inevitable grief and guilt that can also destroy the life of the mother. It is in an effort to reveal this truth that we choose to publish this story. - Aimee Herd, BCN.
Finland's National Research and Development Center for Welfare and Health (STAKES), is the author of a study published in the European Journal for Public Health, which states that "deaths from suicide, accidents and homicide are 248% higher in the year following an abortion," among women of reproductive age 15 - 49 when compared to those who have not been pregnant in the year prior.
The 13-year study also found that a "majority of the extra deaths among women who had abortions were due to suicide. The suicide rate among women who had abortions was six times higher than that of women who had given birth in the prior year and double that of women who had miscarriages."
The report went on to state that "while the risk of death from suicide, accidents, and homicide was highest among women who had abortions within the prior year, the risk of death was lowest among women who gave birth within the prior year, who had less than half the death rate of women who had not been pregnant."
Along with that study, another was conducted over an 8-year period, on the death records linked to medical payments for birth and abortion for 173,000 women in California. Researchers found women who had an abortion were 62 percent more likely to die than those who had delivered babies.
