Another factor that contributes to why abortion should be made illegal is the mental health problems that are presented when undergoing the procedure. Although these problems or effects may fluctuate from woman to woman, it is only fair to conclude that these risks do exist and that abortion causes mental health risks.
Most of these mental health effects occur after the abortion has taken place. Post Abortion Syndrome or PAS is described as the trauma or emotional affects that many woman experience after undergoing an abortion.
Facts show PAS or the after affects of abortion does not take place immediately, it occurs months or even years after the termination. These are caused by the feeling of guilt, which often amounts to other feelings like confusion and the feeling of been taken advantage of.
Ramah International has provided statistics which show that nearly 50% of women in America that have had an abortion later suffer from many psychological trauma. These emotions are depression, anger, eating disorders, nightmares and in worst cases suicide and many more.
In outlawing abortion, many of these mental health risks will obviously lessen. It will also save the governments money that are put towards funding counseling institutes, that deal with the mental health issues that abortion produces.
