The APA review of research found that women who have a single, legal, first trimester abortion are at no greater risk than women who have an unwanted baby for mental health problems. This conclusion is based on a thorough review of scientific studies conducted over the past 25 years. Some studies have suggested a link between abortion and negative mental health outcomes, but these effects are generally small and do not appear to be any greater than those associated with childbirth. Therefore, women should not be discouraged from seeking abortion services on the basis of fears about their mental health.
