A majority of women regret their abortions and suffer feelings of sadness and guilt afterwards, according to a study published in the journal Cureus.

“Sixty percent reported they would have preferred to give birth if they had received more support from others or had more financial security,” researchers found.

Of the 226 women surveyed who had had abortions, 33% identified the abortion as wanted, 43% as accepted but inconsistent with their values and preferences, and 24% considered the abortion unwanted or coerced.

Only women who had considered the abortion wanted and consistent with their values associated positive emotions and gains in mental health after their decision to abort.

“All other groups attributed more negative emotions and mental health outcomes to their abortions,” researchers found.

The study undercut the results of a 2015 paper by the pro-abortion group Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health that claimed that 99% of women have no regrets about abortion.
