Pro-choicers often argue that postabortion syndrome (PAS) is a myth, and that women are happy and relieved after their abortions. Contradicting this, however, is the extremely high number of women involved in postabortion ministries and outreaches. An author said the following in 1987. Since then, the number of women seeking postabortion help and joining postabortion support groups has increased exponentially:
“Little evidence can be found to support abortion as psychologically therapeutic, whereas much evidence shows it can be harmful. How else does one account for the rapid rise of an organization such as Women Exploited by Abortion (WEBA)? In the first 10 months of its existence, this organization grew from 2 members to 10,000 members who had previously had abortions, but now are strongly pro-life.”
