Besides, my mother had one and said it was the worst day of her life. She doesnt go by a day without thinking about it and feeling like a bad person. She told me about a year ago that if they people at the clinic had told her she would be haunted the rest of her life that she would have made another choice.
Research shows that the vast majority of women who have an abortion do not regret their decision. The best predictor of whether they regret it is their mental health status
before the abortion. *
Furthermore, research shows that women who are harassed by protestors outside of clinics, and women who are encouraged to have an abortion they don't want are more likely to regret it.
