Examination of women's emotions and feeling that abortion was the right decision over five years adds to the scientific evidence that emotions about an abortion are associated with personal and social context, and are not a product of the abortion procedure itself.
Abstract
These results add to the scientific evidence that emotions about an abortion are associated with personal and social context, and are not a product of the abortion procedure itself. Findings challenge the rationale for policies regulating access to abortion that are premised on emotional harm claims.
