were unmarried or separated

of American women will have an abortion in their lifetime
According
to research in The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse:

who abort their first pregnancy are 5 times more likely to report
subsequent substance abuse then women who gave birth
- 4
times more likely then women whose pregnancies ended through
miscarriage or stillborn
In
Finland, researchers identified suicide rates among aborted women
were higher (35%) than women who gave birth (6%)

American women who had abortions reported:

In
a study of 252 aborted women who suffered psychological problems
after abortions:
- 53%
felt "forced" into the abortion by relatives
- 65%
felt "forced" by circumstances
- 83%
stated they would have kept the pregnancy if they had been encouraged
to do so by one or more persons
- 45%
of women who suffered post-abortion trauma reported they went
to clinic still hoping for a "miracle' option which would
have allowed them to avoid the abortion and/or keep the baby

Abortion
Myth #4- "It's A Woman's Body" from "Abortion
Myths", Crisis Pregnancy Ministry, Focus On The Family:
"True
a woman has a right over her own body; abortion, however involves
another separate living body inside her own:
- At
day 21, the baby inside of her has a beating heart
- At
day 28,the arms, the legs, the eyes, the ears have begun to
grow
- At
day 40, brain waves can be detected and the baby has its own
blood type
