Abortion Produces Death

RECEIVED Mon., Dec. 22, 2003

Louis Black,
   Everything in this world produces more of its own kind. Abortion produces death. Approximately 1½ years ago I asked my ethics professor if women who had abortions commited more suicides than women who did not.
   The teacher got offended and said I would have to look that up myself. I did and found out that suicide rates for women who had abortions were not recorded in the mainstream except for in Finland.
   In Finland, the suicide rates corresponded with higher abortion rates. Apparently Finland was the only country to record this information. Well, the rates were higher (for suicides coupled with abortion). Whatever we produce reproduces. Death produces death. Abortion produces suicide and guilt-death of confidence. That's the truth no matter what philosophy or perspective.
