Sometimes This Blogging Thing Is Just Too Easy
"NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Among women with an unwanted pregnancy, those who carry the pregnancy to term are more likely to experience later depression than those who terminate the pregnancy with an abortion, new study findings suggest. "
The story.

I could have told you that. Being pregnant is tough emotionally and physically. Going thru labor is worse. It is all worth it though.
I also think the study might be skewed because with all the social pressure women that are likely to feel guilty at all about an abortion just won't get one.
....interesting that you would be so concerned with such a subject Barry!
.don't men have worries of their own?
....like having their fun with a gal and being sure SHE takes precaution?
:)
Men have worries...you are too right...like worrying about how to get her into bed with her hot blonde roommate and not cause too much of a stir....oh and the worst worry..how to keep her from talking whilst doing the deed....true....men have so many worries
Yes, depression occurs in both instances.
Depression also occurs in raising a child to adulthood - then if the kid screws up, usually the mother is blamed.
Nothing new there.
Women are also stronger emotionally than men.
Ok big guys, bring it on!
If my next door neighbor depresses me then can I shoot them?
DNA testing is the answer. When Roe vs Wade is overturned, every woman who can no longer have a legal, safe and rare abortion should have a DNA test on the baby. The woman will have the baby, go into depression. To protect the baby from being harmed by the depressed mother, the far right legislatures can give the baby to the father!
Problem solved. Men can be held accountable for their actions!
8:30 - I like the way you think.
If Roe v Wade goes, I think we will see a revolt to hunt down the fathers and do what has to be done....
.....raise it daddy, or get legal castration.
hey all of us have worries and need to learn that if we turn them over to great grandfather we will be better off by the way to the youn gentle man who said that his worrie was getting his girls young blonde roommate well then your an idiot that worry belongs to the immature man a real man would be worried about how they were going to take care of the woman that they got pregant
spriritrider,
I think that was the point they were trying to make.
9:04
Pro life is not just pro-birth. It is pro-diapers, pro-formula, pro-daddy care!
Women will revolt. Castration or NO SEX!
Men need to be responsible for their actions or face the consequences.
If the far right gets in control, they are going to pay to have all their kids diapers, formula, doctor visits, clothes.....until they are grown!
That's right, 9:04...if I were a mother to be, I'd sure want the father to raise our child only if he were faced with chemical castration...that's love. Adoption is ALWAYS an option. There are sooo many couples who'd love to have these precious children that their mothers(for whatever reason)cannot or do not want to take care of. Adoption over Abortion any day. The mother can get counseling and take medication if she gets that depressed, but at least the child will have a chance.
I agree, Lovelit. And, this new "study" is just another example of society's inability to just GET OVER its problems. Good grief....wonder how the pioneers managed???
So tired of hearing/reading about our wounded, whiny, be-syndromed, disordered, traumatized populace. Ugh...
10:22 - yeah - I'm tired of the traumatized, blah blah blah too......
...and how did the pioneers handle things?
....you got my daughter pregnant fella?
....bang bang - yer dead.
Rockin', Anon @ 12:04!! =D
I wonder what the majority opinion would be of those who were not terminated, but rather adopted out to parents who wanted them. Are there any rights attacted to the unborn child?
Adoption is not a simple answer to the question of unwanted pregnancy. There are financial concerns associated with pregnancy as well as phyiscal changes to the body. If you have never been pregnant you can not fully understand it. I think regardless of the circumstances it is a mistake to bring a child into this world that is not truly wanted and cherished.
Well, I'll say, for the record, that I think the unborn child SHOULD have rights. Beating heart, blood coursing....alive. PETA goes on and on about the horrors committed to animals, yet it's argued to be "ok" for a woman to make her "choice." DRIVES me CRAZY.
It's so much like the stupid legal system. The offender always has more "rights" than the victims.
I say that if you do the deed, be prepared for what just may happen....and if you're not ok w/chancing it? Keep your legs crossed.
8:27 - your last paragraph is a doozy - we can be sure to tell that one to our ten to twelve year old kids.
Stuff happens - then what?
Education is the answer and if mom and pop are too dumb, too religious, or stoned out to tell the kids, thank God for the public schools.
Comment4U, in the case of rape, women and girls have no choice. If Roe Vs Wade is overturned, must the victim give birth to an unwanted child?
In a society ruled by men, some think the girl or woman deserve punishment for having sex and getting pregnant; therefore, they don't deserve a choice. The man or boy is not the quilty party.
Adoption is not the answer to the problem. It would be nice to live in a world where all the unwanted babies had loving parents. That will never happen.
The solution is personal responsiblity and the use of birth control.
For the rape victims, a pill can be given to keep the egg from attaching.
Good points 7:12 - in the "good" old days, women had one child after another - often born at home with little or no pain killers.
Now, thank God those who know about it can get birth control.
If a parent knows for sure their daughter is having sex, it seems a whole lot more responsible to put them on the pill, than to have them go through one pregnancy after another.
And the parents of sons?.....what bout' that one?
Parents should teach their sons to keep their zippers zipped! Enough said!
Tell the sons, if they unzip, be responsible! If the boys use protections and the girls use protection, hopefully, the pill and the condoms will work!
Shared responsibilty, double protection!
No double standards!!
Totally agree about the zippers...
....for way too long, the girls have had to bear the consequences..
....you bet it is a shared responsibility!
..good post!
