Possible links between abortions
and subsequent medical problems:
Sponsored link.
As with so many other religious, ethical, sexual, cultural, and medical
controversies, there exists two solitudes on the question of links between
abortion and subsequent medical and mental health.
Many social and religious conservatives and pro-lifers sincerely believe that strong links exist.
Many mental health professionals, medical experts, abortion providers,
pro-lifers and others sincerely believe that such links are minimal or non-existent.
Both groups claim to support their beliefs with the results of studies.
