Pro-choice groups don’t discuss “range of emotions” women experience after abortion, says writer

From pro-choice writer Sarah Erdreich:

“Groups like Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and NAF generally stick to messages about how common and safe abortion is, but they don’t offer a great deal of in-depth discussion about the range of emotions women may experience. Instead, they offer first-person stories, which overwhelmingly talk about abortion in positive terms. While studies have shown that this is how most women do indeed feel after their abortions, those women that have more ambivalent feelings following their abortions may not find much comfort or support in these messages.”
