Already had an abortion?

Struggling emotionally with your decision? There is evidence that abortion is associated with a decrease in emotional health. For some women these negative emotions may be very strong, and can appear within days or after many years. This psychological response is a form of post-traumatic stress disorder. Some of the symptoms are: 1


  • Eating disorders

  • Guilt

  • Suicidal thoughts

  • Sexual dysfunction

  • Relationship problems

  • Depression

  • Flashbacks of abortion

  • Alcohol and drug abuse
