According to a study published in the "Post-Abortion Review," 36% of those women who have had abortions among those who were surveyed described themselves as self-destructive after their abortion.

Fully 20% reported having a subsequent nervous breakdown, with 10% requiring hospitalization for psychiatric care. Sixty-one percent of women surveyed said the abortion made their lives worse and only 31% felt "reconciled" with their abortion.

Only 6% of the women surveyed said the abortion improved their lives.
