The study wasn’t a one-off question, either. Beginning one week after their abortions, researchers asked the women about their feelings twice yearly for five years. A week out, around 51 percent of women expressed mostly positive emotions about their abortion, 17 percent felt negatively, and 20 percent said they felt little at all about it.
An interesting note is that even with the percentage of negative emotions or apathy the week after an abortion, 95 percent of women surveyed said they made the right decision. Corinne Rocca, lead author of the study and a UCSF associate professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences, pointed out that this is a salient reminder that regret and conviction are not mutually exclusive. “You can feel the emotion of regret, yet feel you did what was right for you,” Rocca said.
The responses the women surveyed gave as the years went on further supported that early conviction. At the five-year mark, 99 percent of women felt they had made the right decision — with 84 percent expressing primarily positive emotions or none at all. By that five-year mark, only 6 percent had primarily negative feelings.
The study comes at a time when the rights of women and non-binary people are in danger of being legislated to the umpteenth degree. In December, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal to challengeand show fetal images to patients before abortions. Other recent legislation surrounding women’s rights and the rights of non-binary people include mandatory counseling and waiting periods before having an abortion — with the latter citing “regret” and lasting emotional damage as justifications.
This is just sad. Its what people do now, you don’t want something (ANYTHING) just get rid of it for your convenience. No responsibility for your actions. And no, having an abortion is not responsible. AT ALL. And I don’t mean in the case of the mothers life.
Relief because they are free from the responsibility of their actions. 99% of all abortions are done out of sheer convenience. That means - spread your legs, get pregnant, dont want it, kill it. Awesome 👍🏻.
