Claim #2 - "we have done those studies where we have taken a random, representative sample of women who have had abortions and followed them for several years. And very, very few of these women suffer depression. Furthermore, the ones who do have problems are likely to have not been emotionally stable before they chose to have the procedure."
abortion leaves mental legacy
The Oslo team found that, after 10 days, 47.5% of women who had miscarried suffered from some degree of mental distress compared with 30% of the abortion group.The proportion of women who had a miscarriage suffering distress decreased during the study period, to 22.5% at six months and to just 2.6% at two years and five years.
But among the abortion group 25.7% were still experiencing distress after six months, and 20% at five years.The researchers also said that women who had an abortion had to make an effort to avoid thinking about the event.
A spokeswoman for the Family Planning Association, said: "There is no evidence to suggest that abortion directly causes psychological trauma.
"Women can experience mixed feelings after an abortion such as relief or sadness.
"These are natural reactions and few women experience long-term problems."
This study was done in Oslo, Norway. miscarriages do cause more distress but for a shorter period, and those who have had abortions recover slower. Still the majority, by this study, after having an abortion are not suffering from increased distress.
