Fear and uncertainty triggered by the global pandemic is also impacting pregnant women. The Japan Times has reported that a new study conducted by a health ministry study group revealed that 8% of pregnant women in Japan who aborted last year said their decision to abort was influenced by the pandemic.
The study group analyzed approximately 2,000 women who had an abortion in Japan between Oct. 15, 2020, and Nov. 14, 2020. According to the results, 152 of the women cited the pandemic as their reason for aborting. Many of these women chose abortion due to financial and economic concerns spurred by the pandemic.
Of the 152 women citing the pandemic as their reason for deciding to abort, the study revealed the following:
- 87 said they decided to abort because of their partner’s income decline or job loss
- 74 said they decided to abort because their own income dropped or unemployment
- 42 said they decided to abort because they were afraid of contracting the coronavirus during their pregnancy
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
