The media silence over a study which found many abortions are coerced and unwanted

Three years ago, newspapers in the US and UK were full of headlines such as “Most women do not regret their abortions, study finds” (Guardian Jan 13 2020) and “The majority of women feel relief, not regret, after an abortion, study says” (CNN Jan 15 2020).

The lead author of the research cited, based on the ‘Turnaway’ study, where women were recruited at abortion clinics to participate, asserted that “All the claims that negative emotions will emerge over time, a myth that has persisted for decades without any evidence to substantiate these claims, it’s clear, it’s just not true.”
