Abortion and Mental Health
The best available scientific research is clear:
Having an abortion does not increase mental health risk.
Instead, distress may be about the situation and context...
Stigma
(people think having an abortion makes you selfish and evil; will people hate me?)
Decision Difficulty
(I didn't want to make this decision)
Legality
(the laws around abortion are confusing and scary; I feel like I'm going to get in trouble)
Access Barriers
(this was so expensive, I had to take time off work, someone had to watch my kids...)
Misinformation
(I've heard that abortions are unsafe and can cause lots of problems... am I okay?)
Paternalism
(it seems like the law wants to protect people from abortion, but instead it feels like I wasn't trusted in my decision)
