One woman tells her abortion story:
She became pregnant in 1996.
“…. My husband had no moral concerns about abortion, and we went to the appointment together. I cried a lot, but every time I mentioned a baby, I was told by my husband, and counselor, that the reality was, there was no baby. I was told the children I had were more important.
When I saw the Drs who signed my forms they asked me if I was sure. I said no, but they said well as sure as you can be.
I did have an abortion. I was given a leaflet that said that most women are relieved afterwards, but you can expect a bit of depression.I am now in counselling, having suppressed the memory of the clinic. It now comes back to me as a trauma I can barely survive.”

According to Planned Parenthood:
“Despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary, anti-choice organizations continue to spread the false idea that it is common for abortion to have severe, emotionally negative effects. The fact is that anti-abortion groups have invented this so-called post-abortion syndrome to further their efforts to make abortion illegal and unsafe.”
