They will never know the joy of having one's own people. That sense responsibility is one of the most important things to the human psyche, it cannot be replaced.
Mothers don't regard their children as sacred for no reason, again, absolutely nothing can replace that - not a career, not a cat, not miles of dick, not your entire pill cabinent. Nothing.
Oh but you have financial independence! - Sure you do hun, how's that studio apartment you can barely afford and 100k lesbian dance theory debt? For all the literacy among these women they sure like to say nothing at all with as many words and as much snark possible.
We wonder why people are so fucking miserable and fucked in the head. Life is nothing but debt slavery, our useless fucking jobs, and taxes - we consume, consume, consume, and cut pieces off ourselves thinking "oh haha sour grapes!" and so long as we have netflix, social media, and pornography we're sedated and complicit. It's not fine.
Women who have an abortion are 3x more likely than women of child-bearing age in the general population to commit suicide.
The increased risk percentage of women who have an abortion compared to women in the general population of having at least one mental health issue: 81%.
Teen girls are up to 10x more likely to attempt suicide then their counterparts who have not had an abortion.
Teen girls who have had an abortion are up to 4x more likely to successfully commit suicide when compared to older women who have had an abortion.
About 45% of women who have had an abortion report having suicidal feelings immediately following their procedure.
Only 1% of women of child-bearing age seek psychiatric help for mental health issues in the 9 months prior to having an abortion. After having an abortion, the percentage rises to 1.5%.
Within a year after first-time mothers gave birth, 7 per 1,000 women were treated for mental-health issues, in comparison to 4 per 1,000 before baby.
Up to 33% of mothers will experience depression at least once between the time their child is born and the child’s 12th birthday.
1995 data suggests that the rate of deliberate self-harm is 70% higher after abortion than after childbirth.
The British Journal of Psychiatry found an 81% increased risk of mental trauma after abortion.
At least 27% of women who have an abortion will have a moment of suicidal ideation afterward.
A study of California Medicaid patients found that the risks of suicide increase by 154% for women after they have an abortion.
2 in 3 women who have a late abortion [after 12 weeks] suffer from the clinical definition of PTSD.
40% of women in one UK survey said that they wanted to keep their child, but the pressures of others to have an abortion forced their hand in the decision.
Women whose first pregnancies ended in abortion are 65% more likely to score in the ‘high-risk’ range for clinical depression than women whose first pregnancies resulted in a birth.
Abortion may be a risk factor for subsequent depression in women for up to 8 years after the pregnancy event.
Women who have had an abortion are 34% more likely to develop an anxiety disorder.
110%. That’s the increased risk of alcohol abuse in women who have had an abortion.
The number of women who have an abortion every year in the United States: 827,000.
Sure as hell isn't healthy mentally or physically, and of those who keep their child ask any mother they'll tell you 99% of the time the thing they're most proud of in this world is their children.
A few of these points, to me, might be mistaking cause and effect, when they're likely both effects from the same cause.
Having an abortion doesn't make a teen commit suicide 10x more often, but rather, the type of teen who is likely to have no value to the sanctity of life and hate themselves will more likely be one "requiring" an abortion. Likewise with mental health issues: A woman who miraculously has surpassed the lowest bar of self control of "at least use a singular form of some type of birth control if you don't want a kid but MUST have sex immediately" is going to be much, much more likely to be mentally stable than one that cannot surmount that truly impossible obstacle.
Likewise, people who make the idiotic decision to willfully poison themselves for entertainment are, freeballing this here it's just a guess, more likely to engage in other risky activities that may not be the most intelligent choices. Preventing the one isn't likely to prevent the other, they're both sourced from the fact the surveyed respondant has no sense of personal responsibility, security, pride, or consequence.
Maybe, I've also considered the substance abuse angle to perhaps correlate with the very same kind of fool that would end up getting one.
Though, by direct female testamony in my life - that guilt 100% exists.
I mean, for fucksake - women get postpartum depression after transitioning from breast to bottle feeding and no one even denies that, but legit losing your child in an extremely invasive proceedure somehow isn't even blinked at.

stares suspiciously at abortion rates
Sure as hell isn't healthy mentally or physically, and of those who keep their child ask any mother they'll tell you 99% of the time the thing they're most proud of in this world is their children.
There's shitposting potential here where someone could work the angle the counterparts are teen boys despite what the point really refers to.
Then again male suicides are higher than female ones so the shitposting would run counter to the facts 🤡
A few of these points, to me, might be mistaking cause and effect, when they're likely both effects from the same cause.
Having an abortion doesn't make a teen commit suicide 10x more often, but rather, the type of teen who is likely to have no value to the sanctity of life and hate themselves will more likely be one "requiring" an abortion. Likewise with mental health issues: A woman who miraculously has surpassed the lowest bar of self control of "at least use a singular form of some type of birth control if you don't want a kid but MUST have sex immediately" is going to be much, much more likely to be mentally stable than one that cannot surmount that truly impossible obstacle.
Likewise, people who make the idiotic decision to willfully poison themselves for entertainment are, freeballing this here it's just a guess, more likely to engage in other risky activities that may not be the most intelligent choices. Preventing the one isn't likely to prevent the other, they're both sourced from the fact the surveyed respondant has no sense of personal responsibility, security, pride, or consequence.
Maybe, I've also considered the substance abuse angle to perhaps correlate with the very same kind of fool that would end up getting one.
Though, by direct female testamony in my life - that guilt 100% exists.
I mean, for fucksake - women get postpartum depression after transitioning from breast to bottle feeding and no one even denies that, but legit losing your child in an extremely invasive proceedure somehow isn't even blinked at.

I'll just save this under the "Informative" category..
Also not to be a reddit but I wouldn't mind having the SOOOORSE for these.
Initially I pulled from here but could find no sOOOOOOURCE~~. It led to a dig, this info isn't smiled upon at all.
