Women Having Abortions More Likely to Abuse Drugs, Alcohol Study Shows

Melbourne, Australia (LifeNews.com) -- Women who have abortions are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol compared with those who carry a pregnancy to term, a new Australian study shows. The results of the study are important given that the American Psychological Association is preparing another review of the literature on how abortion adversely affects women. The study involved 1,122 women born at Mater hospital in the 1980s who were tracked following their birth. Kaeleen Dingle, of the University of Queensland, reported the results at a recent meeting of the World Psychiatric Association at a conference in Melbourne. About one-third of the women in the group had abortions and those who did were three times more likely to abuse hard drugs like heroin or meth than women who were never pregnant or kept their baby. The women who had abortions were also twice as likely to be an alcoholic or engage in binge drinking and 1.5 times more likely to suffer from depression.
