A past abortion choice may be affecting your life in the following ways:

• Isolation and shame: You have a fear of others knowing your secret. This makes you uncomfortable when the topic of abortion is discussed in the media or other public venues.
• Depression : Compared to women who carry their first unintended pregnancies to term, women who abort their first pregnancies are at significantly higher risk of clinical depression as measured an average of eight years after their pregnancies.

“Depression and Unintended Pregnancy” British Medical Journal January 2002, 324: 151-152

• This depression leads to:
  • Sad moods
  • Sudden and uncontrollable crying episodes
  • Deterioration of self-concept
  • Loss of normalcy
    
• Pessimisim: You don’t feel like you deserve to feel any better than you do today. You try to ease your hurt and guilt by helping others through penance.
• Anxiety: Researchers compared women who had no prior history of anxiety and who had experienced a first, unintended pregnancy.
• Women who aborted were 30 percent more likely to subsequently report all the symptoms associated with a diagnosis for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD, Axis I), compared to women who carried to term.

Journal of Anxiety Disorders, 2005
