POST-ABORTION SYNDROME
(a.k.a. "PAS" or "PASS")
Many pro-life groups conclude that a large percentage of women who have undergone an abortion; experience serious depression, and massive feelings of guilt that last for years. This has been called "Post-traumatic abortion syndrome," "Post abortion syndrome," "Post-abortion stress syndrome," "PAS," and "PASS".
Many pro-choice advocates from secular groups agree that PAS exists, but believe that it is rare.
A major longitudinal study by the American Psychological Associated was unable to detect any evidence of PAS.
A representative of the APA has testified before a committee of the U.S. House of Representatives that PAS does exist, but is less common than post-partum depression after a birth. A commentary in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) points to PAS as a rare post-abortion phenomenon. PAS seems to happen primarily to women who, at the time that they had an abortion: Believed that the fetus was not a human being, and changed their beliefs later. Believed that the fetus was a human being, but proceeded with the abortion anyway. Felt heavily pressured, either by family, friends, or circumstances, into having an abortion that the didn't want. Did not received adequate counseling and information before the abortion.

I've heard of it and suppose it is plenty of bunk and am very comfortable it isn't viewed a truly syndrome. I think that this is a influence of the entire hatred in the direction of ladies and their offerings on this global. So many individuals hate ladies and are out to make ladies who have had abortions suppose unhealthy for it. As you'll see from the answerers already we now have 'oh I have that predicament due to the fact that I had and abortion and abortion is morally fallacious' Now, if that answerer did not purchase into the entire mysogynist crap available in the market and realised abortion isn't morally fallacious, I doubt she'd suppose unhealthy in any respect. I additionally think that it is some thing made up through professional-lifers, mysogynists and Christians to deter and scare ladies clear of having abortions. We all understand there may be plenty of that propaganda going round. Remember the entire 'abortion factors breast melanoma' lie? Actually, do exactly a google seek for any professional-existence or anti-abortion internet site. I can inform you that once a being pregnant is terminated horomone stages drop and there could also be temper swings however, none of it is a influence of put up abortion syndrome. It's ordinary to suppose a little bit off or down at this factor and that is while the ladies haters and anti-abortionists transfer in for the kill. That's after they unfold their hate and speak to out youngster killer. They hit ladies while they're down. This abuse factors this syndrome. This syndrome is a masks. They name it put up abortion syndrome to fake that the abortion brought on it rather of the blatant hatred unfold through mysogynists, professional-lifers and plenty of so referred to as Christians. Every ladies who has an abortion DOES NOT fall into this mess of self hatred. I had an abortion. I'm now not sorry. I understand I did the proper factor however, I do suppose sorry for the ladies who fall for the lies and the mysogynists who make this global any such horrible situation.
