Washington, DC -- A new research study featuring numerous controls and a national data set finds a link between abortion and psychiatric disorders. The study directly contradicts the report the American Psychiatric Association released in August claiming abortion causes no mental health issues for women.

The research team found induced abortions result in increased risks for a myriad of mental health problems ranging from anxiety to depression to substance abuse disorders.

Ultimately, the authors write that abortion is directly "responsible for more than 10% of the population incidence of alcohol dependence, alcohol abuse, drug dependence, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and bipolar disorder" among all Americans.

Interesting how the group doing the research is nowhere near as respected as the American Psychiatric Association. I could see maybe someone who was raised strictly religious who had an abortion for the sole purpose of not upsetting parents or something.. I could see them developing anxiety over it (or over any secret that would be potentially disappointing to parents). But no way is it responsible for 10% of the population incidence of these things. That is just absurd. To believe that number you'd have to live in a cave.
