Pro-life activist Melissa Ohden, an abortion survivor, told the committee, &#8220;The nightmare here is not abortion bans&#8230; the nightmare is that abortion continues to be aggressively promoted so that it is seen as the only option.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She said it is <em>abortion<\/em> that causes &#8220;trauma.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abortion causes trauma<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Calling legal protections for preborn children<em>\u00a0<\/em>traumatic for women and likening such protections to assault is offensive to rape survivors, especially those who have chosen life for their children or who regret their abortions.<\/p>\n<p>Abortion has been known to cause <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/research-post-abortion-trauma-real\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trauma<\/a> for mothers \u2014 and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/prolife\/programs\/rlp\/rue.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fathers<\/a> and other <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-affects-sibling-survivors-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">relatives<\/a>. Research shows that undergoing abortion can affect women deeply. In fact, an <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1177\/2050312118807624\">October 2018 article<\/a> in SAGE Open Med found that abortion is \u201cconsistently associated with elevated rates of mental illness\u201d compared to women who haven\u2019t had abortions. In addition, it found that abortion \u201cdirectly contributes to mental health problems for at least some women,&#8221; and that certain factors may put certain women \u201cat greatest risk\u201d of struggling with mental health after an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, a <a href=\"https:\/\/papers.ssrn.com\/sol3\/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2813546\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study published in July of 2016<\/a> \u2014 using data collected from 8,005 women in the United States who were followed over 13 years \u2014 linked abortion with an <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/new-study-confirms-higher-risk-of-mental-health-disorders-after-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increased risk<\/a> of mental health disorders and substance abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Women have also shared their personal stories of the trauma abortion caused them. On the Netflix dating show \u201cLove is Blind,\u201d contestant <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/netflix-contestant-abortion-regret-destroy-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amber Pike shared<\/a> the trauma she suffered from abortion. \u201cAfter the fact, [my boyfriend and I] were just talking. I\u2019m telling him, like, I\u2019m trying to explain what I\u2019m going through, like, I&#8217;m having a really hard time getting out of bed in the morning. I don\u2019t eat. I\u2019m not really sleeping. [\u2026] I can\u2019t survive [another abortion]. It would destroy me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, TLC band member Chilli\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/chilli-tlc-shares-story-abortion-regret-broke-spirit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revealed<\/a> in 2010 that her past abortion is still a source of pain for her. \u201cIt messed me up,\u201d she said during an interview. \u201cI don\u2019t know; It just, it broke my spirit. [&#8230;] I cried almost every day for almost nine years and then I was caught up, I had to have a baby.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Julie Lambotte <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/mother-stabbed-drowned-children-post-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aborted<\/a> her daughter following a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis and afterward suffered such deep sorrow that she killed two of her three born children. She drowned her 22-month-old daughter and stabbed her nine-year-old and seven-year-old children. The nine-year-old survived. Lambotte told authorities she did it because she \u201cmissed her little girl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rape survivor Ashley Sigrest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dUEomZ-O7t0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explained<\/a> how abortion affected her. &#8220;I could never ever deal with my rape because I was so focused on what I had done in choosing abortion. And that\u2019s what people don\u2019t understand when they tell rape victims, \u2018Oh yes, have an abortion so that way you can go on and we can deal with the rape.\u2019 But the abortion just makes the rape 1,000 times worse because now you have these\u00a0<em>two<\/em>\u00a0horrible events that you have to deal with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paula Peyton, however, chose life for her son after she was raped. She <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/conceived-rape-blessing-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explained<\/a> that she &#8220;endured trauma the night he was conceived.&#8221; But choosing life for him was <em>not<\/em> traumatic. She calls him &#8220;my life\u2019s greatest blessing \u2013 a child conceived in gang rape, a child who far too many people deemed disposable, a child who saved my life, a child who was always meant to be my whole-hearted, honorable gift of God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abortion is violent<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Abortion is also traumatic for the child. Every act of abortion is a violent assault on an innocent human being. Every induced abortion carries the intent to kill a preborn child through starvation, dismemberment, powerful suction, or induced cardiac arrest. To say that protecting children from this is &#8220;assault&#8221; is ludicrous:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_265465\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-265465\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-265465\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Photo-Mar-31-11-22-04-PM-baby-girl-700x622.jpg\" alt=\"Justice for the Five\" width=\"700\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Photo-Mar-31-11-22-04-PM-baby-girl-700x622.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Photo-Mar-31-11-22-04-PM-baby-girl-300x267.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Photo-Mar-31-11-22-04-PM-baby-girl-768x683.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Photo-Mar-31-11-22-04-PM-baby-girl-500x444.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Photo-Mar-31-11-22-04-PM-baby-girl.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-265465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Baby Harriet found in medical waste bin outside DC abortion facility.

Sarah Cleveland, a board certified Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/nurse-preborn-get-away-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explained<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>\u2026 I placed the transducer over the uterus and saw a baby approximately 18 weeks gestation on the screen. He was kicking, playful, and happy. Then the doc inserted the needle.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Immediately, the baby knew something was in his space. That something was different. As I held the transducer to guide the needle to a safe area away from the placenta and away from Baby, I saw Baby dart away from where we were in the uterus and move as far away as possible to the other side of the womb. He stopped kicking and playing\u2026 Then the heart rate. His little heart rate sky rocketed. He was scared. In fact, I am convinced he was terrified.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>After only about 20 seconds of withdrawing fluid, the needle was out. \u2026 I watched Baby for a few minutes longer, while the parents conversed with one another. The Baby slowly, eventually, came out of the corner and the heart rate slowly decelerated.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehd.org\/prenatal-summary.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Endowment for Human Development<\/a>, by 11 weeks, the preborn child is &#8220;sensitive&#8221; even to &#8220;light touch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro-life laws protect women<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pro-life laws protect babies from abortion but they also protect women from abortion and abortion-related trauma. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theunchoice.com\/coerced.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies show<\/a> that 64% of post-abortive women felt pressured to abort by parents, boyfriends, employers, friends, and their personal situations, but pro-life laws can help to <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/study-evidence-effectiveness-pro-life-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">release<\/a> them from that pressure. The further a woman lives from an abortion facility, the less likely she is to have an abortion \u2014 which means pro-life laws <em>protect women from the trauma of abortion<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The pro-life politicians that Murray and other pro-abortion lawmakers attacked during the hearing are taking steps to offer true help to women and children.
