I just lifted this off of Planned Parenthoods "Teenwire" site
"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. They want people
to believe that most women who choose abortion suffer severe and
long-lasting emotional trauma. This is not true. In fact, studies show
that most women, in the long-term, experience feelings of relief after
they have an abortion.
Anti-abortion groups have invented this
so-called "post-abortion syndrome" to further their efforts to make
abortion illegal. But neither the American Psychological Association
nor the American Psychiatric Association recognizes the existence of
so-called "post abortion syndrome." These medical professionals found
the anti-choice research flawed. For example, the authors of many "post
abortion syndrome" studies only interviewed women who claimed to have
emotional problems after an abortion procedure."
It is so completely irresponsible for them to make the statements above.
First of all, feeling relief "immediately" after means nothing...what exactly does immediate mean an hour, a day, a month, perhaps a year?
secondly, to say our feelings and experienced are "invented" by anti abortion groups is ridiculous.
Sadly, many teens will believe (and have believed) the junk they write and find out too late that Planned Parenthood has fed them bunch of lies.
