The Silent Scream is an ultrasound video of an abortion created by the pro-life activist Bernard Nathanson. The video is distributed by the Several Sources Foundation, a 501-(c)3 charity whose Mission Statement declares,
- Through God's Grace, we save babies lives and shelter their young mothers while providing education and ongoing compassionate support services. We further educate young people to make healthy life choices. We also shelter women who are homeless, sick and elderly and we help them to restore their dignity.
Several Sources Foundation cites the Finnish Study of Suicide Risk and Induced Abortion. The study found suicide rates more than five times higher than the mean annual rate per 100,000 and concluded an increased risk of suicide after an induced abortion, based on either harmful affects on mental health, or common risk factors (poverty).[1] However, multiple authorities, from the British Medical Journal to the American Psychiatric Association, strongly dispute these findings.[2]
