"Abortion depression link queried
There is no credible evidence that women who terminate an unwanted
first pregnancy are at a higher risk of depression, researchers say.
A recent US study had suggested having an abortion increased
significantly a woman's chance of suffering depression.
But the authors of a British Medical Journal work looking at 1,247
women say pre-existing mental health might be a better predictor of
depression risk."
If there was a correlation, maybe it's that a woman more prone to
depression is more likely to seek an abortion, i.e. causation going the
other way.
