I had a look and to be fair there are articles and studies that say there is a link between abortion and poor mental health and there are some that say otherwise.
Take the first link u put up. It is very detailed and cites many studies. It basically says that its a mix bag of results
https://www.apa.org/pi/women/programs/ab...health.pdf
On one hand there is this statement
"Task Force on Mental Health and Abortion concludes that the most methodologically sound research indicates that among women who have a single, legal, first-trimester abortion of an unplanned pregnancy for nontherapeutic reasons, the relative risks of mental health problems are no greater than the risks among women who deliver an unplanned pregnancy"
On the other hand there was this statement
"In these analyses, women who had one or more abortions prior to age 21 had a significantly higher number of total psychiatric disorders by age 25 than women who had delivered or had never been pregnant by age 21. This study thus suggests that women who have one or more abortions at a young age (<21) are at greater relative risk for psychiatric disorder compared to women who deliver a child at a young age or women who do not get pregnant at a young age."
Then in this link u added...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6207970/
Like the other study the results are mixed
- "(a) There are no findings of mental health benefits associated with abortion.
- (b) The association between abortion and higher rates of anxiety, depression, substance use, traumatic symptoms, sleep disorders, and other negative outcomes is statistically significant in most analyses.
- © The minority of analyses that do not show statistically significant higher rates of negative outcomes do not contradict those that do"
So from these studies both sides design and release many propaganda posters... They both milk it

That line just reminds me of... "How Dare You"...
Anyway it is what it is. Abortion is alive and well in the west
Most U.S states allow it right up until birth and allow partial birth abortion
Someone suggested I had a look and learnt about abortion procedures.
I already knew this but I would make the same suggestion to everyone else, watch the videos at least.
