How is this source relevant to your paper?
Abortion can cause negative psychological and emotional effects. Individual’s belief on whether it is a baby or not contributes to the level of vulnerability.
Some of the effects include anger, shame, regret, guilt, nightmares, depression, suicidal thoughts and anxiety.
Abortion causes controversial issues on the mental health of the woman.
There are various reasons as to why women procure abortions: family factors, socio-economic status, health issues and personality ideals.
Some women are affected more than others. The more affected are those who were coerced to take the abortion, with strong religious beliefs conflicting abortion, who obtain pregnancy in advanced in later phases of pregnancy.
It is against God’s ten commandments according to Christians; you shall not commit murder.
Those who do abortions are selfish. God values life and life begin with Him.
Abortion is murder and should be condemned. It is “playing God” with natural human life, deciding who will live and who will die. Humans should not dictate who to live and who not to.
Life is for procreation.
