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.
