Repeat Abortions & Abusive Relationships

Women Who Have Repeat Abortions More Likely to Have Abusive Relationships

London, England (LifeNews.com) -- A new study from England finds that women who have repeat abortions are more likely to be involved in abusive relationships with their partner. The findings should prompt abortion centers to do a better job of assisting women who may be pressured or coerced by a violent partner into having an abortion. The new report, published in the The Obstetrician and Gynaecologist (TOG) medical journal, found 30 percent of women who get a second abortion say they were involved in an abusive relationship at the time. Women who were getting their third or more abortion were at a much higher percentage chance of involvement in a problematic relationship at the time of the abortion. "These findings highlight the need for health professionals to be aware of, and sensitive to, the possibility of violence in the lives of women seeking abortion," Jason Waugh, editor of the medical journal, told the UK-based Christian Institute in response. "Our society should have zero tolerance for domestic violence." "Given the high prevalence of violence in pregnancy, it is important to ask women seeking both maternity and abortion services about domestic violence," he said. "Knowing about domestic violence can help to ensure that women are provided with the support and information that they need." Ref. Source 9

Relationships Abusive and Abortions Repeat

I can agree with this study. Usually it is an abusive male that gets the woman pregnant and then forces her to go get an abortion. This male is the one in charge and he will do all he can to make sure she stays dependant on him.
