Post-abortion Mental Health Effects, Awareness, and Politics

Join Dr. Martha Shuping and other leading researchers and clinicians for a panel discussion about mental health risks associated with abortion. Data from numerous studies including the National Comorbidity Study, the most comprehensive national data on the prevalence of psychological disorders, will be analyzed to explore associations between abortion history and mental health, and substance abuse disorders. Additionally, results from a national poll conducted through the Elliot Institute examining politics and post-abortion awareness will also be presented. Learn more about the body of research the American Psychological Association failed to assess in its recent report on abortion and mental health.
