Women who have abortions are at a high risk of having breast cancer, becoming infertile and are most likely to commit suicide because of Post- Abortion Syndrome.

This is according to Doctors For Life (DFL). Monika Molatlhegi, a DFL spokesman, said women who abort are at risk, because of oestrogen. The hormone becomes more active during pregnancy and stimulates the growth of breast tissue.
