A new study, published today in Social Science & Medicine, signifies a milestone for abortion rights, reports Insider. The study, conducted between 2008 and 2016, analyzed 667 individuals' emotions regarding their decisions to have abortions. The research carried out a week after the procedure until five years later. After the three-year mark, 99% of the participants said having an abortion was the right decision.
ADVERTISEMENT Epidemiologist Corinne Rocca funded the study with grants from four different foundations and conducted the research as part of UCSF’s Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health. “I wanted to investigate if there was any evidence to the claims that abortion had negative long-lasting effects,” she said. The study included a mix of black, white, and Latina women, whose average age was 25, from 30 clinics around the U.S. 62% of the women were already raising children.
Every state has different laws restricting the types of abortion procedures. 45 states allow healthcare providers to refuse to provide abortion access. 27 states require a waiting period before an individual can have an abortion. Eight states are required to give out writings, on the"long-term mental health consequences," to those seeking an abortion.
