NAF Member: How Nebraska’s Anti-choice Legislators “Protect” Women’s Health

July 8, 2010

With respect to physical health, the excellent safety record of abortion since Roe is well documented. With respect to mental health, the best predictor of a woman’s mental health status after an abortion, psychological experts have concluded, is her mental health before an abortion, and as suggested, there is no support for the existence of “post abortion syndrome.”
