Most blue states have laws allowing post-viability abortions to protect the woman’s mental health, but a newly released report suggests that such procedures are making things worse, not better.
Interestingly, the study found that women who gave birth in their first pregnancy had higher rates of mental health services before delivery than those who underwent abortions.
The Lozier Institute said the researchers were the first to use 17 years of anonymous Medicaid claims to track the first pregnancy outcomes, which allowed them to avoid self-reporting problems such as low participation, failure to follow up and recall bias. Planned Parenthood has disputed that having abortions leads to worsening mental health, citing a 2017 study by University of California San Francisco Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health researchers that found women who received versus being denied abortions“These findings do not support policies that restrict women’s access to abortion on the basis that abortion harms women’s mental health,” said the February 2017 paper in JAMA Psychiatry.
Blue states that allow abortion until viability, typically 22-24 weeks’ gestation, typically include a post-viability exception to protect the mental or physical health of the woman — an outlet that pro-life advocates say essentially permits elective abortion until birth.
