I appreciate your talking about abortion, and want to recommend http://realchoice.blogspot.com for further information. She has a video up today that was aired in Britain, and it’s not easy to watch, but it might be something you may be able to share. Most of her posts are remembering women who died due to botched abortions, on the anniversary of their deaths.

Also, as far as the teen depression and suicide rate that you mentioned — you may be interested in the book by Dr. Meg Meeker entitled “Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters.” While she touches on a lot of subjects, at one point in the book, she calls teenage depression an “STD” because of the high prevalence of depression among sexually-active teens, and the low (or non-existence) level of depression among abstinent teens. She’s a pediatrician, and said that when she began her practice, she hardly ever saw a depressed patient, but in more recent years, she’s had a tremendous increase. Her colleagues have noted it as well.

In Christ,
Kathy
