tehsunshine: Oh, here’s some!The American Psychological Association (2008) and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (2011) both found that there is no link between induced abortion and mental health issues, that a prior history of mental health problems is the greatest indicator of mental health problems after abortion, and that mental health outcomes from unplanned pregnancies are the same regardless of whether the pregnancy ends in birth or abortion. Additionally, the 2011 study found that anti-choice rhetoric and attitudes (such as yours) are a contributing factor in poor mental health in those who have had abortions.
