- Abortion and Breast Cancer
- Medical experts are still researching and debating the linkage between
abortion and breast cancer.
 However, here are some important facts:
- Carrying a pregnancy to full term gives protection against breast
cancer that cannot be gained if abortion is chosen.
- Abortion causes a sudden drop in estrogen levels that may make breast
cells more open to cancer.
- Most studies conducted so far show a significant linkage between
abortion and an increased risk of breast cancer.
-
- Effect on Future Pregnancy
- Scarring or other injury during an abortion may prevent or place at risk
future wanted pregnancies. the risk of miscarriage is greater for women
who abort their first pregnancy.
-
 Emotional Impact- Some women experience strong negative emotions after abortion.
Sometimes this occurs within days and sometimes it happens after many years.
This psychological response is known as Post-Abortion Stress. Several
factors that impact the likelihood of Post-Abortion Stress include: the
woman's age, the abortion circumstances, the stage of pregnancy at which the
abortion occurs, and the woman's religious beliefs.
-
- 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
you 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.
