The study, published in Issues in Law & Medicine and led by the Elliot Institute's David Reardon, reassesses the data from a 2011 study that found no increased risk of mental disorders after a first-trimester abortion. That conclusion, the new study's authors write, was "inconsistent with similar studies that used longer time frames," so they chose to take a second look at the same data "over slightly longer time frames."

As a result, they found that a year after aborting, women exhibited a 50 percent higher likelihood of first-time psychiatric treatment and an 87 percent higher likelihood of personality and behavioral disorders.

"Our re-analysis revealed that the Danish data is consistent with the larger body of both record-based and survey-based studies when viewed over periods of observation of at least nine months," the authors write. "Longer periods of observation are necessary to capture both anniversary reactions and the exhaustion of coping mechanisms which may delay observation of post-abortion effects."

"The best research indicates that most women have strong enough suppression mechanisms that they can avoid thinking about their abortions for many months, or even years," Reardon said. "Negative effects are more likely to manifest after an exhaustion of these coping mechanisms. This will frequently coincide with the anniversary date of the abortion or the birth of a later child. When mental health effects do materialize, they can come in the form of prolonged or complicated grief, guilt, substance abuse, or may simply trigger or exacerbate preexisting mental health issues."

Abortion, which despite persistent media narratives is almost never sought for "medical" reasons, has long been known to carry significant risks on top of its intended lethality to preborn babies.
