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.

Topics covered in this section

	Overview: Does having an abortion trigger later emotional or physical health problems?
	Breast cancer

	Infertility
	Miscarriage
	Post abortion syndrome (PAS)
