Five-year suicidal ideation trajectories among women receiving or being denied an abortion
American Journal of Psychiatry Jul 14, 2018
Biggs MA, et al. - Recruiting 956 women from 30 U.S. abortion facilities, researchers assessed the effects of receiving compared with being denied an abortion on women’s experiences of suicidal ideation over 5 years. They compared women who received near-limit abortions with women who were denied an abortion and carried their pregnancies to term (turnaway-birth group). As per findings, similarly low levels of suicidal ideation was displayed by the two groups of women. Thereby suggesting that policies requiring to warn women regarding an increased risk of becoming suicidal if they choose abortion are not evidence-based.
