172 | Suicide Rates After Abortion: What Are the Facts and What Can We Do About It?

I’m willing to bet that when you went in to have your abortion(s), you were not informed that you would be at an increased risk of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, and suicide. In reality, women who have abortions are at risk for adverse mental health reactions. Today, I want to talk to you about suicide rates after abortion. Before we continue, if you yourself are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please pause this episode and dial the National Suicide Hotline - 988. I am not a licensed mental health professional, so this episode should not be used in place of professional guidance or as medical advice. Your life matters, you are loved, and you belong here.   Join us for our 5 Day Bible Reading Challenge this week 10/21-10/25!
