Abortion is easy, over in five minutes. You’ll feel such a sense of relief. It’s not even a baby. No need to worry about mental affects.

 Those are some of the many lies Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers tell women who are considering abortion.

 But abortion is a big deal. It’s the intentional killing of an unborn baby and for good reason, women who have had abortions are at a higher risk of experiencing clinical depression. Search online for “abortion and depression” or any combination of mental health repercussions and read stories of women who have suffered the consequences of abortion. Here is one story:
