Psychiatrist and abortionist Julius Fogel, who had performed over 20,000 abortions, said the following about abortion’s impact on women:
“I’ve had patients who had abortions a year or two ago, women who did the best thing at the time for themselves but it still bothers them. Many come in some are just mute, some hostile. Some burst out crying … There is no question in my mind that we are disturbing a life process. The trauma may sink into the unconscious and never surface in the woman’s lifetime … but a psychological price is paid. It may be alienation, it may be a pushing away from human warmth, perhaps a hardening of the maternal instinct. Something happens on the deeper levels of a woman’s consciousness when she destroys a pregnancy. I know that as a psychiatrist.”
