Abortion a threat to women's health

Abortion a threat to women's health -- baltimoresun.com: "Adolescent girls who have abortions are twice as likely to suffer depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation as girls who carry their children to term or who never become pregnant. The numbers for young adult women are less dramatic, but post-abortive women consistently remain more likely to suffer from these problems than their peers.

In spite of this, politicians such as Mr. Obama are often praised as pro-woman when they oppose laws that would require women to be informed about the risks of abortion.

Furthermore, even in this era of supposed 'safe, legal abortions,' the fact remains that women continue to die on the operating table. Since Roe vs. Wade, more than 120 women have died from complications from legal abortions.

Yet politicians are often lauded as champions of women's rights when they push for laws that deny mothers the right to know that their daughters are seeking this potentially deadly procedure or decried as anti-woman when they seek to regulate it."
