“The reasons women decide to abort are all mental health factors. These include poverty, lack of social supports, domestic violence, rape, incest, heavy ongoing responsibilities, lack of education, and preexisting mental illness.”
in 2017, team members surveyed 1,132 women who sought abortions at 30 clinics in 21 states. Some of them would go on to have abortions, but others were turned away because they’d missed the fetal gestational limit set by the clinics, which varied among the sites and states between 10 weeks and the second trimester.
Women who had less autonomous decision-making and who were forced to disclose their pregnancy decision also reported negative mental health symptoms, she said. The economic consequences that come from having an unwanted pregnancy also added to the stress experienced by women turned away from abortions.
The new babies, too, suffered negative impacts. The study used a Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire for children under 18 months, and found the Turnaway mothers were five times more likely to have a high score, indicating difficulties bonding. “We found carrying unwanted pregnancies to term resulted in poorer maternal bonding, feeling trapped with a baby.” “Two women in the study who gave birth who were denied an abortion died during delivery,” Biggs said.
Jones, the professional counselor in San Antonio County, said many clients came to her for help and advice when they found out they were pregnant.
