Editor's Note
 

An interesting news article recently reported that researchers at the University of Montreal found that children whose mothers struggled with depression had physical changes in their brains. While the research was not related to abortion, other studies have found that abortion is not only linked to depression in mothers, it is also linked to poor maternal-child bonding, parenting problems and behavioral problems among subsequent children. The article below examines the research and discusses various ways children and their mothers are impacted by abortion.
 

We have been very excited about the release of the first Spanish translation of our books -- and pleased to see others are interested as well. You can still take advantage of our 25 percent off introductory sale on Duelo Prohibido (Forbidden Grief). And if you work with or know of organizations that are in need of Spanish language materials on abortion's impact on women, please help us spread the word and let them know that bulk discounts are available for this book. See below for a link to more information about the book and how to order it.
