83% from women say they have been changed by their abortions, and 77% say the change has been negative.
77% says they regret their abortions.
60% reported feelings of isolation and alienation.
38% reported problems with anxiety, depression, drug abuse and / or suicidal thoughts as a result of abortion.
50% states that the baby's father or other family members "use negative language as a means to justify the woman's need for an abortion."
Those who experienced "discouraging words" from the baby's father or others were pressured to abort. Some of them report a lot of pressure on them.
A study found that many women were surprised by how difficult and painful their abortions were and how poorly informed they were before they had them. One woman described her experience with the abortion pill as follows:
"They lied to me and said they would give me some pills that would make it like a late period with mild cramps… The pain from the contractions was so intense that I felt my intestines separate from my body. I fell, screaming on the bathroom floor, sweat, tears, blood, vomiting and shit all over me.
Another woman said:
"I was told that I would not be in pain and would not feel anything. THIS WAS SUCH A LIE. I felt everything, I heard everything, I saw everything. Eventually I fainted from the pain and vomited.
A third woman said:
"I was told that if you happen to be in pain, you can take these painkillers. If it happens to hurt me? It sounded like the process would be easy and not so painful. That was not the case. I felt terrible spasms. It was just getting worse and worse. I cried and moaned in pain. I literally thought I was dying.
The study found:
The women discussed how they were told certain information about the medical abortion process (eg when to take the pills, what the pills do, the need to contact a provider if complications arise), but this information was described as limited and misleading.
The women expressed a desire for more detailed information on things such as: potential side effects, the intensity of spasms and bleeding, what to do after the birth of the baby and potential negative emotions (eg fear, insecurity, sadness, pain) felt after abortion. When this comprehensive information was not communicated to them before they took the pills at home, the women reported feeling cheated, misinformed and even deceived.
Women suffered emotionally after their abortions and nearly 8 out of 10 felt sorry for them. One woman wrote:
"We were told that we would return to normal and it would not affect us, but they were wrong! All I feel is emptiness and hatred. I used to be the happiest and most positive girl. All I want is to turn back time.
Another woman said: “I thought maybe I would feel better after that, but it doesn't stop there. It never ends! The pain and emptiness stays there forever.”
Some women have committed suicide, with one saying, "I am haunted by the image of my little baby. He will always haunt me. I was hurt and I even wanted to die. "
There are several women who talk about the shock of seeing their aborted babies and the way the sight haunts them.
The study found that many women find their experiences with abortion pills very different than they expected. Most women believe the choice rhetoric that abortion is a minor procedure that benefits women. The study shows:
Negative changes often occur when women's actual abortions are not in line with their previous ideas of what to expect.
Women hint at their initial expectations of what will lead to medical abortion or what others have told them will happen after their abortion. When the actual experience of a woman with a medical abortion does not match this information, women have felt powerless, vulnerable, lost, upset, and sometimes deceived.
The shock of the actual experience, so different from the dominant story of choice, had a negative effect on women. The vast majority have felt damaged by abortion and testify that it has changed for the worse.
The study also cites a Swedish study that found that 43% of women bled more than they expected, with 26% bleeding for more than four weeks. Approximately 34% of Swedish women in this study said they received insufficient information about what to expect when taking the abortion pill.
