Women who have abortions are three times as likely to suffer depression and other mental illness, it emerged yesterday.
Senior doctors claim new evidence shows a clear link between abortion and mental health problems in women who previously had no history of such illness.
They believe the risks are being 'played down' so women wanting an abortion are kept in the dark.
As a result those considering having an abortion should be warned of the dangers, says a group of leading specialists.
Well, if the left is so adamant about a woman's "right to choose" to commit infanticide, then I'm sure they'll be equally supportive of a woman's right to be fully informed of the risks of doing such a thing.
Anyway, read the whole thing to get the whole story, including the claims of abortion counsellors that women are indeed informed of the risks.
My question: why doesn't the MSM, politicians and the left in general talk about the possible negative effects of the radical, morally-and-ethically-questionable procedure? Why just push the whole thing, period, as a supposedly good thing?
The taking of human life shouldn't be treated so lightly, nor as a "right". I'm sorry, but it doesn't feel right that one is told it's ok to go around screwing like a bunny, without protection, cavalierly, uncaringly exposing oneself to the risk of unwanted pregnancy and HIV and other STDs. Feeling good in the moment is more important than keeping the future in mind, as far as liberals are concerned. It's all about selfish hedonism. So many ways in which the left is like this.
But this is unfortunately the way things are, as liberals keep saying, "Don't worry... be happy. If anything bad happens, modern medicine will just cut out the 'problem' or provide drugs to take care of the nasty germs. Just go forth and have a good time and stop worrying."
That's one symptom of liberalism. Liberalism is, after all, in large part, about willful ignorance of the consequences of actions or inactions. We see this all the time. I see it all the time in pretty much everything liberals do every day... and, even after they suffer consequences from actions over and over again, they nevertheless repeat the same actions as if there were no demonstrated causal relationship between action and consequence. If this isn't a sure sign of mental illness, I don't know what is. Liberals can easily deny that any kind of mental illness isn't mental illness. They can make it politically incorrect to label a mental illness as such. Yes; they have that awesome power, even if they aren't in government. They have the courts, the MSM, the legal system, etc... all on their side.
Abortion, euthanasia, turning the other cheek at genocide, turning the other cheek at 9/11, turning the other cheek when people are executed in the Islamic world for nothing other than suspected un-Islamicness or for being female, for being gay, etc... yep, the left is on high moral and ethical ground and can look down, sniffing, upon everyone who doesn't kiss their stinky feet...
Just as the communists, the tyrants, the Islamofascists... liberals clearly appear to follow a sort of doctrine of death... liberalism, like those other ideologies, looks for all the world like a death cult. Tolerance of all kinds of death (except for the death of evil people!!!) is a liberal doctrine.
Myself, I believe life, particularly innocent life, is more valuable than death. Liberals apparently do not.
Deal with it, liberals. You can have your delusions. I want no part of them.
