...and the
"we need more abortions" crowd are aware of this study...
-- WINNIPEG -- Women who have had an abortion are nearly four times as likely to have problems with drugs and alcohol as women who have not, according to a study conducted by University of Manitoba researchers.
The study also found connections between abortion and other mental health conditions like mood disorders, but substance use disorders showed the strongest link.
In the meantime, the authors suggest that when women present for abortions, clinicians should screen them for substance use problems and other mental disorders, and vice versa.
Geez... who would have
ever suspected?
