Abortion researcher confounded by study

The first line is laughable in its arrogant, obvious, misrepresentation of the fact that this researcher is a biased, idealogical conformist of the pro-abortion, academic oligarchy.....the very fact that he would be "confounded" is truly laughable, he being an academic who has access to all of the data.....

But the rest of the article is interesting......

Abortion researcher confounded by study

" In the emotionally charged debate over abortion, no one could accuse Professor David Fergusson of ideological bias. He is "pro-choice" personally, but he admits his latest research - which suggests a strong link between abortion and mental illness - is liable to be used and misused as ammunition by the pro-life brigade. Researchers found that at age 25, 42 per cent of women in the study group who had had an abortion also experienced major depression at some stage during the past four years. This was nearly double the rate of those who had never been pregnant and 35 per cent higher than those who had chosen to continue a pregnancy. "Those having an abortion had elevated rates of subsequent mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, suicidal behaviours and substance use disorders," said the researchers, whose study has been published in the Journal of Child Psychiatry and Psychology."
