Mental health[edit]
Main article: Abortion and mental health

Mental health
Abortion is statistically associated with higher rates of mental illness, both in general and relative to women who carry unplanned pregnancies to term. While there is also agreement that negative emotions are common after an abortion, and that abortion can contribute to pre-existing mental health issues, the primary dispute is over when, if ever, abortion is the sole cause of subsequent mental health issues. For example, the 2008 report by the American Psychological Association Task Force on Mental Health and Abortion concluded that while while some women "experience clinically significant disorders, including depression and anxiety" the most likely explanation for the higher rates of mental illness observed among women who abort are pre-existing risk factors, including prior mental health problems. Subsequent research, however, has revealed that the higher rates of mental health issues seen among women who have abortions cannot be fully explained by prior mental health issues, and that there is also a dose effect, with each abortion contributing to increased risk.

The APA report identified fourteen risk factors that predict greater risk of negative psychological outcomes after an abortion. These include: "terminating a pregnancy that is wanted or meaningful, perceived pressure from others to terminate a pregnancy, perceived opposition to the abortion from partners, family, and/or friends, lack of perceived social support from others, various personality traits (e.g., low self-esteem, a pessimistic outlook, low-perceived control over life), a history of mental health problems prior to the pregnancy, feelings of stigma, perceived need for secrecy, exposure to antiabortion picketing, use of avoidance and denial coping strategies, feelings of commitment to the pregnancy, ambivalence about the abortion decision, low perceived ability to cope with the abortion, history of prior abortion, late term abortion." Analysis of the studies identifying these risk factors reveals that the majority of women having abortions have one or more of these risk factors.

Negative emotions following an abortion can co-exist with positive feelings. Some proposed negative psychological effects of abortion have been referred to by anti-abortion advocates as a separate condition called "post-abortion syndrome", but this is not recognized by medical or psychological professionals in the United States.

The widely referenced Turnaway Study, which employed a non-random and non-representative sample of women, reported that there no relationship between most induced abortions and mental health problems compared to women who were refused a late term abortion. The Turnaway Study research team concluded that social stigma was a main factor predicting negative emotions and regret years later.
