In her 2016 book<\/a>, author Dana M. Brown wrote about her abortions and her battle with drug addiction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coerced Into an Unwanted Abortion<\/b><\/p>\n

Raped at 14 and teased during her childhood, Brown was already experimenting with drugs when she became pregnant at 18. She wanted to have her baby, but her boyfriend, James, wanted her to abort her child. She says:<\/span><\/p>\n

Deep down, I wanted him to be excited about the chance of being a father, that our love for each other may have created another life. Maybe he would feel the same way as I did about it, that it would be me, him, and our baby against the world.<\/span>1<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Instead, he insisted on abortion.\u00a0<\/span>She knew from his reaction that he would leave her if she didn\u2019t abort. She says:<\/span><\/p>\n

I loved the baby inside me, but it was not tangible. It couldn’t fill the void that I would have without James\u2026 It didn’t matter that it wasn’t a good relationship. It was still a relationship. Something was better than nothing.<\/span>3<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

She tried to rationalize:<\/span><\/p>\n

I recalled all of the news and scientific reports on fetuses.<\/span> This thing inside of me isn’t even a real baby yet.<\/span> I rationalized it away and with tears in my eyes, I made the appointment.<\/span>4<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

No Help at the Abortion Facility<\/b><\/p>\n

Brown describes the five-minute \u201ccounseling\u201d session at the abortion facility:<\/span><\/p>\n

She asked me a few questions. “How old are you? Is anyone forcing you to do this? Are you sure this is what you wish to do?” That seemed to be the extent of her concern. Of course, all of my answers were lies with the exception of my age.<\/span>5<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Brown went through with the abortion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Second Coerced Abortion<\/b><\/p>\n

A year later, she was pregnant again. Again, James insisted on an abortion. Brown says that he was \u201cmore important to me than life itself\u2026 My decision to have another abortion was based on nothing but James’ demand and my lack of self-esteem and neediness.\u201d<\/span>6<\/span><\/p>\n

Brown describes how she felt:<\/span><\/p>\n

I slipped deeper into self-loathing and wasn\u2019t sure exactly why. I knew that I didn’t want to have an abortion, but everyone said it was all right, it wasn’t a baby, it was just a circumstance that could be changed, legally. But inside, I was falling apart.<\/span> 8<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Again, she got no help at the abortion facility. She says, \u201cThe clinic just took the money and my babies without ever offering me another option.\u201d<\/span>9<\/span><\/p>\n

Falling Deep Into Addiction<\/b><\/p>\n

After her abortions, Brown fell deeper into addiction. According to Brown:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I justified the abortions by telling myself that it was legal, so it can\u2019t be a big deal. I just got the abortions and continued to numb my feelings with pot, alcohol, and pills, and went on with my life\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I tried to see it as no big deal and decided I didn\u2019t care anyway. It was so much easier not to care. I may have killed myself had I cared.<\/span>10<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

James left her after the second abortion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After a while, Brown began using heroin. Her life fell apart, and she lost her job. Soon, she was living on the street. To support her drug habit, she became a prostitute. She went through a cycle of jail, arrest, and rehab, only to continue using drugs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An Attempt at Sobriety – Ended By Another Abortion<\/b><\/p>\n

Eventually, though, she became determined to stay sober. After one more stint in rehab, she moved in with Rafael, another former drug addict.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She became pregnant again, and both she and Rafael were excited. They were both sober, and she was hoping to raise her child with him. However, when she was well into her pregnancy, she found out he was cheating on her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overcome with despair and convinced she couldn\u2019t cope with being a single mother, she had a late-term abortion.<\/span><\/p>\n

She says that \u201cWhen the procedure was complete, I woke up and began to scream and cry. I screamed, ‘You killed my baby!! You killed my baby!!'”<\/span>10<\/span><\/p>\n

Brown was consumed with guilt that she still struggles with today, many years later:<\/span><\/p>\n

I was way to [sic] sober to deal with this reality. They moved me into a room by myself to recuperate and got me out of the clinic as quickly as they could. I could barely breathe I was so upset. The guilt has stayed with me, and I do not see it getting better anytime soon.<\/span>11<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Even though she\u2019d been sober for eight months, the guilt and grief drove her back into her addiction:<\/span><\/p>\n

The thought of what I had done was too much for me to handle sober\u2026. The cycle was back in full swing and I had fallen off the wagon. A couple of weeks later, cocaine was back, then heroin.<\/span>12<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Rafael also fell back into drug abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Soon Brown was living on the street again, once more a prostitute. She stole money to support her drug habit and ended up in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recovery<\/b><\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s story ends happily. She went back to rehab, moved in with her sister, began attending church, became a devout Christian, and stopped using drugs. She later married and is now a foster parent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abortion alone didn\u2019t cause Brown\u2019s addiction, but it was a major factor. Her post-abortive trauma worsened her addiction and led directly to her relapse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Abortion Can Lead to Substance Abuse<\/b><\/p>\n

Brown isn\u2019t alone. One study found<\/a> that <\/span>women who aborted their first pregnancy had 4.5 times higher risk of subsequent substance abuse compared to women who carried their first pregnancy to term<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even some abortion providers have admitted there is a link between abortion and subsequent drug abuse. The abortion textbook <\/span>A Clinician\u2019s Guide to Medical and Surgical Abortion<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0states that \u201cResearch has consistently shown that abortion is <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> an event that causes severe emotional repercussions for most women.\u201d<\/span>14<\/span><\/p>\n

But then it goes on to say:<\/span><\/p>\n

Negative postabortion reactions that have been researched include depression, guilt, shame, regret, and grief\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Symptoms of severe <\/span>guilt<\/span> include \u2026 engaging in self-punishing behavior such as substance abuse….<\/span>15<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Post-abortion grief and trauma can lead to unhealthy coping techniques, including drug use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
