    Global Doctors for choice has produced a publication outlining the mental health impacts of forced continuation of pregnancy.

    https://globaldoctorsforchoice.org/...Pregnancy-and-Effects-on-Mental-Health-v2.pdf

    Fo4 those who advocate for increased restrictions surrounding abortion it would do well to look at the experience in other countries

    Let's keep in mind, despite whichever choice the woman makes, she will still be likely to suffer some of the mental health impacts of abortion, if she chooses to abort, or mental health impacts of continuing, if she continues.
    The fact that she chose it doesn't necessarily diminish the mental health impacts of that option.

    Mental health impact of an easy abortion is far less than those of a very dangerous birth, you are right, kaze.

    No need to go about clouding the issue, cowboy.

    (Clouding the issue is when you start bringing up a completely different argument, that may or may not be true, but has little to do with the particular argument being discussed)

    Her mental health does not impact the FACT that she has a right to choose.


    Many decisions in life for women AND men may produce mental health problems....do you propose we ban making decisions on everything?

    Clarifying your confusion is my duty. You tried to bring up a different argument, I corrected it, and I always will do so. A woman may never be forced to carry an infant to term against her wishes, which are not your business morally or legally or ethically.

    Anything that is forced is likely to create mental health issues.

    kazenatsu thinks she has some influence on this, but not at all.
