What are the emotional risks of having an abortion?
A. Objective evidence and our own experience shows that women most commonly report a sense of relief after an abortion. Women’s Health offers post-abortion counseling at no charge, but few women request it. Women’s Health affirms women as competent ethical decision-makers, able to assess their situation, their readiness for parenting, their own well-being and that of their families. Women who have reached a carefully thought-out decision are less likely to experience doubt or regret later on.
