Abortion & Mental Health Issues

There is no link between elective abortion and mental-health problems for adult women, according to a report presented to the American Psychological Association yesterday. The information came from a two-year review of published research. Some courts have issued opinions based on the belief that there is a significant connection. But he APA has endorsed these findings.

There are more than a million abortions each year in the US and nearly half are to women who have already had an abortion previously. This group, as well as teenagers who account for nearly a fifth of all US abortions, were left out the report.
