Dear editor,

Many women have abortions induced by harassment and threats from their partners. However, to have their babies is less harmful for their conscience and their daily lives.

According to the publication Public Health and the Semergen-06 consultation, the first cause of death in women aged between 30 and 34 is suicide caused by having had an abortion and this figure triples their rate of suicide.

At the same time, female sexual dysfunctions may increase 182 percent when compared with women who have never had an abortion, and they may also suffer abuse from their partners.

Moreover, women who have had abortions are at an increased risk of consuming drugs. While governments con women calling abortion progress, freedom and women's rights, they sordidly plan the execution of unborn babies.
