Sarah had previously had an unexpected teen pregnancy and subsequent abortion, but instead of feeling of empowered, as the pro-abortion camp promises, she was left with \u201ctrauma\u201d and \u201ccomplicated grief.\u201d According to Fadel, Sarah feared rejection and judgment for sharing about the horrific experience she and her unborn child endured. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cSarah wasn\u2019t a pro-life advocate or a religious person; she was a woman who made a choice, and that choice had been generating years of sadness, grief and suffering that she had never shared,\u201d Fadel recounted.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah was not Fadel\u2019s only patient who told him about her experience with abortion. \u201cOut of all of my patients, perhaps 20 have admitted to having an abortion,\u201d Fadel wrote. \u201cAnd for each of them, the abortion was a traumatic experience on top of many traumas beforehand, often including sexual abuse. They saw abortion as the only way out of a terrible situation \u2014 an abusive relationship, being kicked out of their home, or being unable to find a job and earn an income.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These post-abortive anecdotes support data Fadel cites from the pro-abortion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/journals\/psrh\/2005\/reasons-us-women-have-abortions-quantitative-and-qualitative-perspectives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guttmacher Institute<\/a> about reasons women choose to discard their preborn children. According to a 2005 study, Fadel wrote, \u201calmost 75% of women couldn\u2019t afford a child and 48% of women were having relationship issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For women like Sarah, abortion was not the solution to a \u201cterrible situation\u201d; it was just the beginning of new trauma and horror \u2014 a trend that\u2019s been well documented. In 2018, the British Journal of Psychiatry released an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry\/article\/abortion-and-mental-health-quantitative-synthesis-and-analysis-of-research-published-19952009\/E8D556AAE1C1D2F0F8B060B28BEE6C3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">analysis<\/a> of research on a whopping 877,181 women \u2014 163,831 of which had experienced abortion \u2014 and <a href=\"https:\/\/lagunatreatment.com\/support-for-women\/mental-health-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">concluded<\/a> that post-abortive women were 81 percent more likely to\u00a0struggle with mental health issues. <\/p>\n<p>Pro-abortion groups say an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/news-release\/2017\/abortion-common-experience-us-women-despite-dramatic-declines-rates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">estimated<\/a> 23.7 percent of total women have had abortions and that only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ansirh.org\/research\/ongoing\/turnaway-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5 percent<\/a> of them regret that decision. But even if these biased figures are accurate, that still means that today, there are about 2 million women who regret ending the life of their unborn child and experience all the accompanying trauma \u2014 an astronomical number of women suffering in silence.<\/p>\n<p>Like Fadel\u2019s story, Live Action\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7olCOabFJrE&#038;list=PLRCroccSjXWS8e1y0jkp4yP4MJbfX-fsr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new series<\/a> \u201cI Regret My Abortion \u2014 Can\u2019t Stay Silent\u201d shares the firsthand testimonies of post-abortive women who have experienced the deep grief of losing their child, and share the pain and emptiness abortion has left them with. <\/p>\n<p>Both Fadel\u2019s story and the testimony videos produced by Live Action serve to share this reality with other women before they make a decision that will potentially leave<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In both anecdotes and data analysis, it&#8217;s clear abortion doesn&#8217;t liberate women &#8212; it traumatizes and grieves them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1289,"featured_media":1744085,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1744082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1744082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1289"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1744082"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1744082\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1744085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1744082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1744082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1744082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
