May, 1990, Bill C-43 was passed into legislation, this was the bill stating that abortion should be treated like any other medical procedure. ... Abortion goes against religious doctrine, it causes severe psychological effects in women who follow through with the procedure, and should be considered murder. ... The church stands by its beliefs against abortion. The most recent development of church position on abortion has been to condemn abortion on the grounds that what begins as human life [and not necessarily a full human being] is morally entitled to the right to life (Terkel 99). Once an abortion has taken place a life has ended, this could be why so many women suffer from the after effects of an abortion. Women can suffer from what has been diagnosed from what is called Post Abortion Syndrome (also know as PAS). Post Abortion Syndrome may cause women to have symptoms such as feelings of guilt, depression and anger: I went through, and still go through, severe mental problems - visualizing the procedure in my mind, hating my self, grieving and wanting to escape from the whole situation. The abortion precipitated years of drug and alcohol abuse, and eating disorder and eventually a serious clinical depression. ... One woman accounts an abortion as the worst decision of her life: I thought that by having an abortion my problems would be solved as, at least, I would be able to get a job not showing that I was pregnant.
