A study that came out in the New England Journal of Medicine says this, which is really a shock to me because I have spoken to psychiatrists and doctors who work with post-abortive women and their experience is quite the opposite. I’ll post the link to the NPR article. npr.org/2011/01/27/133237875/study-abortions-dont-cause-mental-health-issues#

So what do you make of this? Putting aside the fact that NPR is a rather biased source, the study is still something to contend with.

Danish researchers Munk-Olsen, Laursen, Pedersen, and colleagues will publish a study tomorrow in the New England Journal of Medicine, addressing the risk of mental health disorders in women who have a first trimester abortion and those who experience a first childbirth.

The researchers focus on the fact that there is not a statistically significant difference in first-time (name removed by moderator)atient admissions and outpatient psychiatric visits before and after an abortion, concluding that it is unlikely that the abortion procedure causes mental health problems. However there are some major problems with this conclusion.

Hello, there is already a thread about this study: forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?t=530891

Here is what I posted on the other thread;
Hello, you could have untitled your post “One more Study denying…” I wonder in what alternate reality these people live, the APA and the like. Who can honestly believe that there is no mental issues after having your baby ripped out of your womb, 64% of the time against your will? no guilt? no self hatred? no trauma? no anxiety?
This study, on the other hand, shows that the suicide rate is higher in post abortive women than other women: afterabortion.org/PAR/V9/n2/suicide.html

This same false news story has been posted about four times so far.

“Researchers compared the rate of mental health treatment among women before and after a first abortion. Within the first year after an abortion, 15 in 1,000 women needed psychiatric counseling --”

"Within the first year after an abortion, 15 in 1,000 women needed psychiatric counseling, similar to the rate seeking help nine months before an abortion. "Although first-time mothers had a lower rate of mental problems overall -

-" Wait a minute, what’s the point of the story, then? Study says abortion is not a mental health risk but that having a child is, and yet first time mothers had a lower rate of mental problems than first time aborters.

So how do we arrive here? Again, it’s the AP. “Although first-time mothers had a lower rate of mental problems overall, the proportion of those seeking help after giving birth was dramatically higher. About 7 in 1,000 women got mental health help within a year of giving birth, compared with 4 in 1,000 women pre-delivery.” Seven out of 1,000 who delivered sought treatment versus 15 out of 1,000 who aborted.

I mean the headline is wrong, the details of the story prove the headline is wrong, and the opening lead is wrong. But how about that opening lead? “Having an abortion does not increase the risk of mental health problems, but having a baby does.” But the dirty little secret is that having the abortion causes mental health problems, not leads to. That’s what they didn’t tell us.

WOMEN WHO ABORTED HAD TWICE THE RATE OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS AS WOMEN WHO HAD LIVE BIRTHS.

Nowadays, psychology is divorced from moral values except to the extent that acting against one’s moral values might cause emotional distress. If a person undertakes a psych consultation and the examiner finds the person is perfectly content with his or her situation and thought processes, the examiner will not find a mental disturbance (short of habitual, flagrant illegality threatening adverse consequences)

It’s entirely possible that most women who have abortions are content with the fact. People can deaden their consciences (or be so ignorant) that they can accept having done horrific things.
 
From the New England Journal of Medicine:
Results
The incidence rates of first psychiatric contact per 1000 person-years among girls and women **who had a first abortion were 14.6 **(95% confidence interval [CI], 13.7 to 15.6) before abortion and 15.2 (95% CI, 14.4 to 16.1) after abortion. The corresponding rates among girls and women who had a first childbirth were 3.9 (95% CI, 3.7 to 4.2) before delivery and 6.7 (95% CI, 6.4 to 7.0) post partum.

So proving a higher rate of psychiatric contact for woman having an abortion means abortion does not cause psycological problems? Is it just me or does everyone see this?

I guess when you’re NPR you can feed line to the uninformed and they’ll buy it.
