Researcher: Coverage of abortion-mental illness link

LifeSiteNews

Dr. Priscilla Coleman, a professor of Human Development and Family Studies at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, published a 2009 study in the Journal of Psychiatric Research finding a high incidence of mental health issues in post-abortive women. After the journal's editor-in-chief co-authored an editorial criticizing the study, the mainstream media reported that abortion's negative psychological impact had been "debunked."

Contraceptive pill Yasmin continues to stir debate

They voted 15-11 in favor. However, research carried out by the Washington Monthly and the British Medical Journal (BMJ) has since found that four of the panel members had links to Bayer, the pharmaceutical company that manufactures two of the best known drospirenone-containing pills, Yaz and Yasmin.
