MYTH Abortion damages people psychologically or a psychological
traumatic experience
TRUTH There’s no such thing as Post-Abortion Trauma Syndrome
Abortion often occurs in the context of stressful, even
traumatic, circumstances: sexual coercion, domestic violence, economic and
educational disadvantage, overwhelming responsibilities. These situations
are highly correlated with depression and with anxiety disorders. The
scientific evidence from studies of large populations of women indicates
that having an abortion neither alleviates nor causes psychiatric
disorders.
