Any day now, the Supreme Court could overrule Roe v. Wade, and thus allow us to protect unborn children and their mothers from the harms of abortion. In our forthcoming book, Tearing Us Apart, we argue that among its many harms, abortion poses significant risks to women, including the risk of emotional and psychological damage.
Most pro-choice activists, however, reject the idea that women ever suffer after undergoing an abortion. If abortion supporters acknowledge post-abortion regret at all, they dismiss it as the result of the supposed stigma surrounding abortion, which they claim causes women to feel guilty when they would otherwise be relieved.
