A pro-abortion MP in the UK recently spoke out<\/a> against the enforcement of COVID-19 social distancing rules in abortion businesses, calling it “inhumane.” MP\u00a0Rupa Huq said, “Terminating a pregnancy is one of the most difficult and harrowing experiences a woman can go through. To be forced to do it alone, without the support of a partner or source of moral support in the same way as one has a birth-partner, must be unimaginably devastating.”<\/p>\n

The abortion industry has long attempted to normalize abortion as a simple and safe surgical procedure, so which is it? Is abortion normal or “harrowing”?<\/p>\n

Effects of abortion on women<\/strong><\/p>\n

Research and personal testimonies have repeatedly shown that abortion is traumatic for many women and can lead to an increased risk of depression and suicidal thoughts. Multiple studies have shown this, including a 2016 U.S. study<\/a> which found “abortion was consistently associated with increased risk of mental health disorder.” A 2019 study<\/a> found that this risk increased even among women who had aborted “unwanted” children. Their risk of suicidal thoughts was 95% higher than women who did not have abortions, and they had a 270% increased risk of alcohol abuse.<\/p>\n

Even women who remained pro-choice after their abortions are suffering.<\/p>\n

“You’d think it wouldn’t hurt so much,” said<\/a> Amanda Kingsley, who claims she doesn’t regret her abortion. “You’d think the well executed choice and the lack of regret would be healing, but it still hurts. I don’t have any words to explain why, I only know that it does.” She added, “Thousands of women are not telling their stories, sharing their pain, or healing together, but we’re all out here hurting in waves of unexpected emotion. Too many of us are bottling up the tears as we walk the path with our living families.”<\/p>\n

Other women have admitted to dealing with depression after abortion, saying that having another one would “destroy<\/a>” them and that they felt “bound, gagged, silenced, and oppressed<\/a>” by their abortions. One woman said abortion “weighs down every fiber of your being<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

What makes abortion “harrowing?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

If abortion is a celebrated and sacred “right” of women, why is it difficult or harrowing? Why would a woman need a support partner for an abortion, when the abortion industry is promoting abortion as if it is as simple as taking a Tylenol<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Amanda Kingsley claims she does not understand why she is emotionally suffering after her abortion, but she also speaks of life with her “living” family. This reveals that at least on a subconscious level, she does<\/em> understand that she has both living and non-living<\/em> children.<\/p>\n

The mental weight of knowing, even on a subconscious level, that you caused the death of your own child is a heavy burden to bear. Some women have found this burden too much to bear. A mother in Belgium\u00a0killed<\/a> her born children, viewing it as a punishment she inflicted on herself for her abortion.<\/p>\n

But abortion can also be physically painful for women. Women who have taken the abortion pill<\/a> have shared their experiences of horrific pain and bleeding, which some described as reminiscent of “a crime scene<\/a>.” Women who have undergone surgical abortions have called it “worse than the rape<\/a>” they survived, and some have suffered<\/a> from perforated uteruses, hemorrhaging, and life-threatening infections.<\/p>\n
