Higher Child Abuse Due To Abortion

This is from Family News In Focus.

A new report finds that women who have had an abortion are more likely to physically abuse their children.

Is there a link between abortion and later abuse? Priscilla Coleman of Bowling Green State University studied over 500 women who had a pattern of neglecting or abusing their children.

We did find that when a woman had one prior abortion, compared to those who didn't have any history, were 144% more likely to physically abuse a subsequently born child.

David Reardon is with the Eliot Institute.

The claim that abortion was going to rid us of child abuse and child neglect by getting rid of unwanted pregnancies before they are born, this is another nail in that coffin; that claim is simply false.

It only makes sense that those who abort are the worst abusers of children imaginable. The worst abuse of a child is to deny it life. I doubt if there will be many scientists rushing to replicate this study. You can expect this study to be shot at by the mainstream.

For those who are hurting... There is forgiveness in Jesus. Seek Him.
