A Consensus That Needs A Good Overturning


Women may be at risk of mental health breakdowns if they have abortions, a
medical royal college has warned. The Royal College of Psychiatrists says
women should not be allowed to have an abortion until they are counselled on
the possible risk to their mental health.


This overturns the consensus that has stood for decades that the risk to
mental health of continuing with an unwanted pregnancy outweighs the risks
of living with the possible regrets of having an abortion.
