The post-abortion trauma describes a psycho-emotional syndrome resulting from prenatal killing, so called "abortion".

Origin of the term

The term post-abortion syndrome was first used in 1981 by Vincent Rue[wp] in a statement before the Congress of the United States[wp].[1][2] Rue is a life rights activist[wp] who was working for the pro-life organization[wp] Ramah-International at the time. In 1992, together with the psychologist Anne Speckhard[wp], he conceptualized "post-abortion syndrome" as a variant of Post-traumatic stress disorder[wp] (PTSD) that develops as a result of prenatal killing.[3][4] Speckhard had previously developed a description of the syndrome in her dissertation. For this purpose, she interviewed 30 women who were recruited because they considered an abortion one to 25 years ago to be "extremely stressful". The sample was atypical in its composition: 46% of the interviewed women had had abortions in the second trimester[wp], 4% in the third trimester[wp] and some of the women had had illegal abortions.[3]

According to Rue and Speckhard, the symptoms resemble those of war veterans. The affected women experience depression[wp], feelings of guilt[wp], mourning[wp], shame[wp] und anger. Furthermore, flashbacks[wp], denial[wp], and drug abuse[wp] occur, according to Rue and Speckhard.[3][4]

Evaluation

Due to the fact that feminism has enforced the "right" to the prenatal killing of human life in the social, political and scientific fields, a post-abortion syndrome is not desirable for ideological reasons and is consequently rejected accordingly.

For example WikiPrawda:

Quote: «The term post-abortion syndrome is used primarily in the political debate on abortion in the United States[wp]. Life rights activists[wp] and supporters of the religious right[wp] use the term to ascribe a number of negative reactions to abortions.[5][6][7][8][9] In the 1980s, anti-abortion activists[wp] in the United States increasingly claimed the existence of the PAS.»[10]

Originally, the term was developed in relation to women after an abortion. The effects of abortion on men were deliberately overlooked.[11] Only rarely is post-abortion trauma in men addressed and the sources are sparse.
