Providing Healthy Alternatives to Abortion
A simple internet search on, “psychological effects of abortion,” results in a wealth of information and studies. While it is true that some researchers and medical professionals claim little, if any, effect is experienced by a majority of women, others suggest quite the opposite (see, for instance, material available at the following website: http://www.afterabortion.info/psychol.html). Regardless of whether all women experience psychological problems or not, it is clear that many do. Ranging from depression, feelings of suicide, eating disorders, sexual dysfunction, and a host of other problems, abortion can change a woman’s life forever.
Why Guilt Is Often a Factor
No matter how the abortion issue is framed in our popular culture, every abortion involves a woman making an individual decision alone. And, given how human life begins, most find it hard not to believe that in having an abortion, they are denying another human being a chance at life. For this reason, many women can’t help but feeling guilty for having taken away the life of their child.
And, once they decide to start a family of their own, they will often be reminded of the decision they made as their own children begin to grow, learn to walk and talk, and experience life’s firsts in everything. Even if they don’t expect to feel remorse or depression, it is not uncommon for women to think of the child that could have been, of how old they would be now, and what they could have become had they been given a chance to live.
Adoption: A Blessing For Everyone Involved
Even though it may be difficult for a woman to undergo nine months of pregnancy and then place her child for adoption, adoption is an alternative to abortion that results in untold benefits for everyone involved. As adoption attorneys, we’ve seen adopted children flourish in loving homes where opportunity and a positive environment encourages them to succeed in life. We have also seen birth mothers complete their educations and go onto becoming productive members of society, often becoming mothers again, when the time was right.
Abortion will not change the fact that you were pregnant. None of us can change what has already happened. All we can do is to make the best possible choices for the future. For some women, knowing that they have provided well for their unborn child by making an adoption plan, allows them to go through life knowing they have done something incredibly unselfish in allowing a family unable to have a child the chance to experience parenthood. Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., and the adoptive parents they represent, see birth mothers as the Heroes they truly are.
