NEW YORK, July 17 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today, a report released by Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA), Federal Funded Pregnancy Resource Centers Mislead Teens About Abortion Risks, found that 87 percent of federally funded "pregnancy resource centers," commonly known as crisis pregnancy centers, provided false and misleading information about the physical and mental health effects of abortion and grossly exaggerated the medical risks of abortion.

Teen pregnancies and unplanned pregnancy among single young adults are epidemic in San Antonio and in Texas," said Dr. Janet Realini, president of Healthy Futures of Texas.

"Unplanned pregnancy is measured by women themselves -it is an unplanned pregnancy because the woman says it was unplanned," stated [Bill Albert]. "Half of all pregnancies in the United States are unplanned, and most of those are single women in their twenties." Statistics from the state health department demonstrate that 62 percent of pregnancies among 1829 year olds in Bexar County are unplanned.

In May 2006, the Constitutional Court threw out a blanket abortion ban, but limited abortions to cases of rape, health risks and fetal malformation.

A new study from New Zealand, published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, raises important questions about the effect of abortion on women's mental health. Researchers found those reporting an abortion prior to age 21 had rates of mental disorders from age 21 to 25 more than 11/2 times higher than the rates for women who did not become pregnant and those who became pregnant but did not abort. The relationship between problems persisted even when the researchers took into account the mental health of the women prior to the abortion. The researchers concluded, "Abortion in young women may be associated with increased risks of mental health problems. Although virtually ignored in the United States, the study has provoked political debate over ab...
