Spiritual Consequences
When people make decisions that go against their core values (beliefs that they have held to for their entire lives), this can produce negative effects, especially long term. People have different understandings of God. Whatever your present beliefs may be, there is a spiritual side to abortion that deserves to be considered. Having an abortion may affect more than just your body and mind -- it may have an impact on your relationship with God. What is God's desire for you in this situation? How does God see your unborn child? These are important questions to consider.
Abortion and Breast Cancer
Medical experts are still researching and debating the linkage between abortion and breast cancer. However, here are some important facts:
1. Carrying a pregnancy to full term gives protection against breast cancer that cannot be gained if abortion is chosen.
2. Abortion causes a sudden drop in estrogen levels that may make breast cells more prone to cancer.
3. Most studies conducted so far show a significant linkage between abortion and breast cancer.
A 1994 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found: "Among women who had been pregnant at least once, the risk of breast cancer in those who had experienced an induced abortion was 50% higher than among other women."

Abortion is offered by some as a simple solution. Abortion clinics may not take medical information you would have to give for any other kind of surgery, and they may not tell you all of the risks. Yet, it is your body. You have a right to know all of the risks and consequences of an abortion. Otherwise, it isn’t a choice!
