Do you think having an abortion can affect your emotions for the rest of your life?

After abortion, most people feel relieved; some feel a bit sad. Abortion clinics offer counselling. The reason many people choose abortion is because the pregnancy would cause emotional and other problems.

A person makes the decision to have an abortion because they feel that at that time in their life, it’s the right thing to do. At another time in their life, they may make a different decision.

Having to make tough decisions about your life can bring up both positive and negative feelings. It’s important and healthy to express your feelings, including the negative ones. You might find it helps to talk to a trusted friend, adult or health care provider about what’s going on.
