David Reardon : ウィキペディア英語版 | David Reardon David C. Reardon is the American director of the Elliot Institute and an advocate in favor of legislating strict barriers to abortion.〔 Reardon is the author of a number of articles and five books examining the controversial issue of mental health effects associated with abortion (''see abortion and mental health''). Reardon is a pro-life activist, and was described in the ''New York Times Magazine'' as the "Moses" of the "post-abortion movement".〔(Is There a Post-Abortion Syndrome? ), by Emily Bazelon. Published in the ''New York Times Magazine'' on January 21, 2007; accessed November 27, 2007.〕 ==Biography== A graduate of the University of Illinois department of electrical engineering,〔 Reardon began researching the effects of abortion in the mid-1980s. Reardon subsequently received a Ph.D in biomedical ethics from Pacific Western University (Hawaii),〔http://educationservices.us/faq.html〕 an unaccredited correspondence school offering no classroom instruction.〔(Politicized Science: How Anti-Abortion Myths Feed the Christian Right Agenda ), by Pam Chamberlain.

In the transcript, PBS senior correspondent Maria Hinojosa describes Reardon: "With a PhD from an unaccredited online institution, he's turned out dozens of studies that supposedly prove abortion is dangerous to women's mental health."〕 Reardon describes his position on abortion as both "pro-life" (believing a human fetus is deserving of protection) and "pro-woman" and "anti-abortion" (believing abortion hurts women).〔David C. Reardon. Making Abortion Rare: A Healing Strategy for a Divided Nation (1996) Acorn Books. See especially (Chapter Two ) where Reardon discusses the terms pro-life, pro-woman, anti-abortion, pro-choice and pro-abortion.〕 In a 2002 article in ''Ethics & Medicine'', Reardon argued that in order to be effective, pro-life efforts had to present "a moral vision that consistently demonstrates just as much concern for women as for their unborn children."〔 Full text in pdf (here )〕 Reardon appealed to the pro-life movement to support his "pro-woman/pro-life" strategy writing:
For the purpose of passing restrictive laws to protect women from unwanted and/or dangerous abortions, it does not matter if people have a pro-life view. The ambivalent majority of people who are willing to tolerate abortion in "some cases" are very likely to support informed consent legislation and abortion clinic regulations, for example, because these proposals are consistent with their desire to protect women. In some cases, it is not even necessary to convince people of abortion's dangers. It is sufficient to simply raise enough doubts about abortion that they will refuse to actively oppose the proposed anti-abortion initiative. In other words, if we can convince many of those who do not see abortion to be a "serious moral evil" that they should support anti-abortion policies that protect women and reduce abortion rates, that is a sufficiently good end to justify NRS efforts. Converting these people to a pro-life view, where they respect life rather than simply fear abortion, is a second step. The latter is another good goal, but it is not necessary to the accomplishment of other good goals, such as the passage of laws that protect women from dangerous abortions and thereby dramatically reduce abortion rates.〔 Reardon's findings conflict with the view of the American Psychological Association, as well as other scientists and researchers, that abortion carries no greater mental-health risk than carrying a fetus to term.〔(Research and Destroy )〕
