"400 PAGE BOOK 'COMPLICATIONS:ABORTION'S IMPACT ON WOEMN' DETAILS EVERY WAY ABORTION HURTS WOMEN" - Dave Andrusko, SEP 10, 2018 https://www.lifenews.com/2018/09/10/400-page-book-complications-abortions-impact-on-women-details-every-way-abortion-hurts-women/ [AS I SEE IT: We pro-lifers are sometimes accused of caring more for the baby that is killed in an abortion more than for the girl or woman who has one. Not true! Here is more evidence of that - as if there are not already thousands of girls and women who have given testimony of the long-term negative effects of their abortions on them physically as well as emotionally. (Of course, the effects are also felt by the would-be fathers and even later sibilings of those killed. - Stan]
Built on over 100 interviews with women who have had abortions and includes contributions from physicians, psychiatrists, and researchers, "Complications: Abortion’s Impact on Women" is the kind of must-read book that is best consumed a chapter at a time. Compiled and analyzed by a Trifecta of authors–Dr. Angela Lanfranchi, Dr. Ian Gentles and Dr. Elizabeth-Ring Cassidy—this ten-years-in-the-making book is divided into four major sections: “The Big Picture”; “The Medical Impact”; “The Psychological and Social Impact”; and “Women’s Voices.”
The Introduction’s first paragraph summarizes what the next 21 chapters will document:
“For all three authors the driving force behind this book is the concern about the ill effects—largely unknown, and for the most part unpublicized—of induced abortion on women. After several years of intense research we are more than ever persuaded of the urgency of communication this information to medical professional, counselors, and to women who are contemplating having an abortion.”
The book brings new dimensions to the word “rigorous.” It’s built on more than 650 papers, books, and official documents that examine abortion world-wide.
“This book comes as an enormous relief to many of us who have been studying abortion for decades,“ explains Dr. Priscilla Coleman, PhD, professor at Bowling Green University. “Finally, there is a credible, evidence-based resource to inform medicine, psychology, and law. Moreover, the science is now available in a condensed and easily accessible form to women facing difficult pregnancies and coping with ill-effects of abortion.”
For those who read NRL News Today regularly, it will come as no surprise that a thorough vetting of the research on abortion’s after-shocks would run counter to the statements of institutions, public and private, who have failed at their job of looking out for the safety of women. That truth shows up again and again in [this book]. For example, one of Dr. Lanfranchi’ s chapters, “Biology and epidemiology confirm the abortion-breast cancer link,” is an exquisite explanation why there MUST be an increase in a woman’s risk of having breast cancer if she has an induced abortion. Equally well, she debunks the customary naysayers, including the National Cancer Institute.
The book extensively examines the evidence that abortion has considerable psychological implications for women, which pro-abortionists and their enablers adamantly deny. The authors write that they “provide solid documentation, from several counters that challenge the statement of the American Psychological Association that induced abortion has no adverse psychological effects upon women.”
"Complications: Abortion’s Impact on Women" ends by listening to women and their riveting accounts of their abortion experience. The stories of the 101 women have a common theme: regret and a resolve not to abort again. “These stories, as well as many more from other sources, expose the illusion that abortion is a free choice and a liberating experience for women.”
In interviews Elizabeth Ring-Cassidy, another of the authors, emphasized that the intended audience is much wider than the medical community. “This is for the educated lay person who is interested in the area but who just doesn’t have the time or the capacity for some reason to take on looking at all of this research themselves,” she said. “(So) we are putting it together for them.”

Praying for Iran At #10 on the 2018 World Watch List and with a Church of 800,000 strong (out of 80.9 million), the main threat for believers in Iran comes from the government. The regime sees Christians, especially converts from Islam, as a threat and frequently imprisons believers for reaching out to Muslims— “crimes against the national security.” Throughout September, we’ll be focusing on our persecuted family in Iran. Please join us in praying with these secret believers.
