10 Little-Known Facts, Unexpected Consequences About Abortion
1. Abortion is color-coded. 43 percent of all pregnancies in the black community are aborted; that’s 1,200 black children aborted every day. In New York City abortions outnumber live births in the black community 2 to 1 with about 62 percent of black pregnancies aborted. An overwhelming number of abortion clinics are placed in minority neighborhoods. Planned Parenthood placed 62.5 percent in black communities.

2. The loss of human population. Abortion has become the No. 1 cause of death in America
39 percent of all death is by abortion
21 percent by heart disease
18 percent cancer
22 percent all other causes
SOURCE: “Promises UnKept” Article Michael J. New Ph.D. “Abortion: The Number One Cause of American Death” by Dr. Dean Crosby
3. It’s about money. There are about 3,753 abortions every day in the U.S. At an average charge of $300 for each abortion the income is $1,125,900 per day. Planned Parenthood alone received $542 million dollars in government funding/grants in 2012.

4. It’s harming mothers. Abortion has consistently been linked to increases in cases of breast cancer and sexually transmitted diseases. The legalization of abortion accounts for as much as a third of syphilis cases with incidence of syphilis up 35 percent since Roe vs. Wade. SOURCE: AACC (same issue as above)

5. The numbers are astounding. By age 45, one third of all women in the U.S. have had an abortion, and 49 percent have had more than one.
6. Effects of emotional and spiritual loss were never considered in the abortion rule. With 55 million abortions since Roe vs. Wade, if only 1 percent of women regretted the choice—550,000 would need help. Yet statistics tell us that as many as many as 80 percent of women interviewed experience post abortion trauma, and this does not count affected men, families and future children.

7. Christians are involved. 65 percent of women having abortions identify themselves as Christians and as violating their moral code. SOURCE: 2011 Guttmacher Institute Fact Sheet quotes—37% Protestant--28% Catholic (65%)
8. Abortion affects relationships and marriage. In some studies as many as 70 percent of women interviewed after an abortion did not remain with the father of the child. Abortion leads to trauma in both men and women: shame, secrecy, anger, feelings of being forced or ignored, blame and unforgiveness—poor ingredients for a solid relationship. SOURCE: National Abortion Federation quotes—
83% Unmarried/67% never married/16% separated

9. Increased out-of-marriage births. The change in societal and social sexual mores has led to increased premarital sexual activity. Use of contraception has increased by 30 percent. The out-of-wedlock birthrate has increased with the abortion numbers. SOURCE: See above
10. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Women who choose abortion experience 81% increased risk of mental health problems—10% directly related to the abortion experience itself. Symptoms of post abortion trauma include: grief, shame, regret, rage and depression. SOURCE: AACC Article above; Linda Cochrane—“Creating a Safe Place”

TAMPA, Fla. – Jan. 3, 2013 – As the 40th anniversary approaches of the Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortion, author, speaker and post-abortion trauma and recovery expert Pat Layton offers practical help for affected women and men in her new book, A Surrendered Life—Finding Freedom, Healing and Hope After Abortion.
“I know firsthand the destructive effects of abortion on women, men and families,” said Layton, who has been helping people deal with abortion since 1986. “A Surrendered Life shows, through my own story and God’s story in the Bible, that help and hope is available to everyone.”
Layton’s eight, biblically based steps for dealing with emotional, physical and spiritual post-abortion trauma come from personal experience. Since the 1973, Roe vs. Wade decision an estimated 55 million unborn children’s lives have been claimed by abortion . . . one of those unborn children was Pat Layton’s. A 23-year-old, soon-to-be-married single mom found herself pregnant, underwent an abortion, suffered immediate life-threatening physical complications and later life-devastating emotional effects. At age 30, and a new Christian, Layton found help, hope and healing through the Bible, through sharing her secret and finding forgiveness.
From CrossBooks, a division of LifeWay, A Surrendered Life adds a vivid personal dimension to Layton’s exploration of practical biblical principles dealing with abortion. It forms a companion to her Bible study guide Surrendering the Secret also from LIfeWay. The works are timely and vital. Consider the following facts on the wide effects of abortion:
Since Jan. 22, 1973, and the Roe vs. Wade decision, an estimated 55 million abortions have taken place, now averaging almost 1.5 million abortions a year.
It’s estimated that 43 percent of women under age 45 in the U.S. have had an abortion.
