Abortion May Increase the Risk of Emotional Problems
Some women experience strong negative emotions after abortion. Sometimes
this occurs within days and sometimes it happens after many years. This
psychological response is known as Post-Abortion Stress (PAS). Several
factors that increase the risk of Post-Abortion Stress include: the woman's
age, the abortion circumstances, the stage of pregnancy at which the abortion
occurs, and the woman's religious beliefs.
