I can only repond to a woman I knew who had one.
She needed the abortion, but she felt unclean about it, years after the fact. She constantly second-guessed herself

Here are some unbiased stories (not made up by some pro-life group) from women who have had abortions http://www.imnotsorry.net
Physically there may be some cramping but, it's not usually worse than your monthly period especially after surgical abortion. There may be some bleeding. I bled for about 2 days after my surgical abortion. I had it at about 15 weeks pregnant. Emotionally, I was fine. I knew it was the right choice. I didn't feel depressed. Infact, the depression I had experienced during the pregnancy lifted. Hormonally, I was a bit moody but, it was nothing that didn't even itself out.
There are different types of abortions and procedures. The most reliable place that I can easily link you to to find information is Planned Parenthood's website http://www.plannedparenthood.org Just search abortion. Don't bother with that priests for life site. It's a lot of propaganda and lies. It's absolutely ridiculous.
What would a bunch of celebate preists know about abortion or women anyways? It's better to get your answers from women and doctors.

depends on why you have it. if you have an abortion because you know and are mature enough to realize that you're not ready to have this baby then you wont really be effected. (I wasn't) I was 18 and going to be joining the military soon. I knew I was too young and too immature to have a kid. I don't think about it or regret it.
no depression, no regrets, no "what if" questions, no guilt, no pain (mental or physical) the operation was uncomfertable, but too bad... i was and am aware that an abortion was the best decision for the time.

The abortion in itself is not a comfortable procedure... and the rehabilitation (mental and physical) is not always easy, either. I've never had an abortion myself, but I know two women who have... one had pretty much no mental issues afterward, but her body couldn't cope, and the other had no physical issues afterward, but she was riddled with guilt. It all really depends upon the woman. When you go in for the abortion, they give you a bunch of info about what to expect, and they offer you time with a psychologist as well.

WELL when you have an abortion, you want the baby to go away soo much that u feel like you NEED to abort your baby. When really everything will be alright you will get through it. When you abort a baby you're killing you're own baby, from the moment it's concieved to its death it is a human and to me abortion is murder. 98% of the time women have abortions they feel very guilty,and depressed most of their live . The moral of the story is, yes the baby will go away, but the guilt won't.
P.s. If someone decides to have an abortion and then changes their mind, once the child gets older, it's hard to imagine what their life would be like without their child.
** If anyone reading this is considering abortion, please reconsider, for you're killing your own child, you can live through it!...It might be a little "rocky" on the way but you can live through it....
All of you considering abortions are in my prayers!!!
God Bless

I am pro-choice, but...You are in pain after the procedure. Crampy and bleeding. They give you pain medication for it. What bothered me the most is the guilt. I had no choice, I was very young and immature. I regret not being educated enough to protect myself during sex. It is a horrible feeling. Especially the feeling of loss. It is something that you never get over or forget.

My gf had to have an abortion years ago for health reasons. She was depressed and sad for a very long time.

well I hear that you can have depression and it may lead to the women never being able to have any kids in the future if they actualy want one.
