The author of the study has stated that he is a pro-choice atheist. His only interest in the subject was the lack of adequate data on the mental health consequences of procured abortion. It would seem that despite his allegiances his study has proved what those of us who have remained anti-abortion have always maintained: that the reasons being given to request abortion are not very well thought out, and that the pro-choice people have a very different agenda.

Isn't it time for a total review of this situation? The attitude towards the procuring of abortion as though it is a woman's right, regardless of the right of the unborn child, needs to be checked. Anti-abortion advocates need to raise their voices in protest over the misleading information that is being given to young women who find themselves pregnant. There are other choices and they are not being informed about those real choices that are available to them.
