Denial of access to abortion services |
|
|
Safe, legal abortion rarely has negative psychological effects. The
denial of access to abortion, however, can have serious
consequences for the woman and for the resultant child.
Several research studies have compared the effects on women and their
children of those granted abortion and those forced to continue with
their pregnancy. The evidence shows that the psychological and social
consequences of refused abortion are frequently more serious than the
consequences of abortion.
