Take the time to think
If you make a quick decision about your pregnancy, you could regret it for the rest of your life. Pregnancy affects "all of you"-not just your body. That's why abortion can affect you emotionally and spiritually as well as physically. Don't let anyone rush you into a decision about something that important.
Why not abortion?
First, because abortion takes the life of a baby created by God and for whom he has a plan. Second, because abortion hurts you.
Physical Effects
Abortion can result in a damaged cervix or scarred uterus, leading to the miscarriage of a future child who is "planned." Abortion can result in hemorrhaging and infection and the need for a hysterectomy, resulting in the inability to ever have children.
Emotional Effects
Most of the girls and women ho carry their babies to term, despite the difficulties involved, feel good about allowing their children to life. But the majority of those who choose abortion admit to later regretting their decision. Nightmares, guilt, depression, and problems in relationships are some of the complications reported by abortive women. Abortion also has been linked to suicide, chemical dependency, anorexia, child abuse and divorce.
Spiritual Effects
Abortive women often become uncertain about their salvation, feeling that God can no longer love them. Many believe they are unworthy of forgiveness and feel separated from their Savior. In abortion there are two victims-the unborn child and the mother of that child who thinks abortion will solve her problem.
