I didn't check the references, but thought this might be useful here.
Dr. Laura

“. . . (In this seven-year Finnish study,) the mean annual suicide rate (for the general population) was 11.3 per 100,000. The suicide rate associated with birth was significantly lower (5.9) and the rates associated with miscarriage (18.1) and induced abortion (34.7) were significantly higher than in the population. . . . CONCLUSIONS: The increased risk of suicide after an induced abortion indicates either common risk factors for both or harmful effects of induced abortion on mental health.”

The above report was replicated in the following U.S. study:


“. . . (In a sample of over 173,000 California women who had abortions or live births,) those who aborted had a significantly higher age?adjusted risk of death . . . from suicide (2.54) (compared to women who delivered their babies) . . . CONCLUSIONS: Higher death rates associated with abortion persist over time and across socioeconomic boundaries. This may be explained by self?destructive tendencies, depression, and other unhealthy behavior aggravated by the abortion experience.”
