This is a topic that I've actually been kind of interested in. I'd like to see someone do a study on the breakdown of this in regards to how common that was for a woman that made that decision independently or one that was pressured into it. Every woman I have known that has had an abortion and has suffered depression as a result, or any regret, has been a woman that was pressured into it by family/partner/other outside influence. The women that made the decision alone have not had the same experience. Since this is purely anecdotal it's just something I feel like should be researched in some way.
