Although many proabortion leaders still maintain that abortion does not cause emotional harm to women, some pro-choicers have been forced to acknowledge that women sometimes do suffer after their abortions.
Pro-choice therapists Candace DePuy, PhD and Dana Dovitch, PhD, authors of The Healing Choice: Your Guide to Emotional Recovery After an Abortion said:
“The idea for this book arose out of our clinical relationships with female clients whose lives have been touched by abortion. As mental health professionals, we were concerned to find how few had discussed the life-changing decision they had made. When they began to share their stories, nearly all were surprised by the depth of emotion they still felt.”
Quoted in Kerri-Ann Kiniorski “The Aftermath of Abortion” The American Feminist vol. 5 no. 1, Spring 1998 6 – 7
