Possible conflict of interest
Strider12 has cited her experience as a post-abortion counselor several times. "Post-abortion syndrome" is not a medical diagnosis, and counseling generally takes place in the context of pro-life activism. Given the powerfully agenda-driven nature of Strider12's editing, I raised my concern with her directly here:. Strider12 responded by suggesting that editors disagreeing with her were likely "paid employees of Planned Parenthood, NARAL, NAF, the APA, or other organizations that lobby for abortion and are insistent on denying the mental health effects of abortion."

One of Strider12's central arguments is that any study published on a subject in a peer-reviewed journal automatically deserves mention on Wikipedia (e.g. ). This approach bears an eerie resemblance to a current Missouri ballot initiative which would require doctors to describe "every psychological, emotional, demographic or situational risk that has been linked to abortion in any study published in a peer-reviewed journal" to a patient as part of the informed-consent process. The amendment's sponsor is David Reardon, whose article happens to be one of the two that Strider12 edits on Wikipedia.
