Finding (d) in Dr. McCarthy's presentation states "... women who were exposed to strongly negative attitudes towards abortion in general and to her personal experience, were likely to have worse outcomes". What could Dr. McCarthy extrapolate from that? In a country with a very restrictive abortion regime and very negative attitudes to women, for instance we criminalise women who have terminations, could he say whether the outcomes for women who go and obtain a termination are likely to be worse?
