I ask because we also have statistics from Professor Aiken, and a graph showing the feelings of women post-abortion, which appear to confirm that women changed their minds or had some concerns afterwards. I emphasise the need for counselling and professional support for women who have a crisis pregnancy. A considerable percentage - 46% - of people who had an abortion had concerns afterwards, ranging from feelings of being alone to being isolated, feeling lost and sad, etc.
