"There's so much misinformation, so many myths about abortion. Abortion will lead to substance abuse, depression, suicidal thoughts; abortion is bad for your health; every woman is going to regret it," said social psychologist Brenda Major, a distinguished professor emeritus in the department of psychological and brain sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
In reality, decades of research has shown "the vast majority of women feel they made the right choice, and they don't experience regret," said Major, who led a 2008 American Psychological Association task force exploring the science on abortion and mental health.
"Abortion does not cause depression, it does not cause suicide (or) suicidal ideation. It does not cause substance use. It does not cause anxiety disorders," said Steinberg, who has studied the mental health impact of abortion for years.
Yet this belief that abortion harms women's mental and physical health has been used to justify "waiting period laws, two-trip requirements (in which women have to come back twice) and telling women inaccurate information around medication abortion," Steinberg said.

None of this has any bearing on why those of us who truly care about unborn human life.
You've never said a word about all the fertilized embryos in IVF labs that will get thawed out and thrown in the trash once their owners have already had the child they want.
You've never said a word about all the "unborn human lives" that "die" from spontaneous abortion or miscarriage.
You've never expressed any concern about
born human life dying of COVID-19 or gun violence or lack of access to healthcare.
You just want to force your religious beliefs onto everyone else.
