Ninety-nine percent of women felt that getting an abortion was the right decision, according to a new study from the University of California San Francisco.
It’s a commonly held belief among anti-abortion advocates that women who choose to terminate a pregnancy are likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and regret. But a new study from researchers at the University of California San Francisco suggests this narrative may be flawed.
Immediately after their abortions, over 95 percent of women said they had made the right decision — a number that increased to 99 percent at the five-year mark. "Even if they had difficulty making the decision initially, or if they felt their community would not approve, our research shows that the overwhelming majority of women who obtain abortions continue to believe it was the right decision," Corinne Rocca, PhD, lead author of the study and associate professor at UCSF’s department of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences, said in a statement."This debunks the idea that most women suffer emotionally from having an abortion.
In the aftermath of the new study, advocates on both sides of the debate are weighing in on the results.
