Abstract

The topic of abortion elicits strong affective responses from proponents and opponents. The consequences of abortion also continue to be debated with conclusions of the effects ranging from no effects to severe trauma. This paper reviews the studies conducted on emotional responses to abortions with special emphasis on demographic, social and psychological factors related to different emotional responses. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
