Government needs to legislate for right to abortion in Ireland

FINALLY the lie, that those who opt to terminate their pregnancies are more susceptible to mental illness, has been nailed.

“The best current evidence suggests that it makes no difference to a woman’s mental health whether she chooses to have an abortion or to continue with the pregnancy,” concluded the biggest worldwide study of the relationship between termination and mental wellbeing, the results of which were published on Friday.

Britain’s National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health (NCCMH) at the Royal College of Psychiatrists assessed 44 studies from 1990-2011 that examined data on hundreds of thousands of women at least 90 days after an abortion.
