:I'm not sure I agree with your interpretation of the sources. No reputable medical body views mental-health problems as a "risk" of abortion, so it is not really appropriate to talk in those terms. The view of reputable medical bodies is that abortion is, in general, no riskier from a mental-health perspective than carrying an unplanned pregnancy to term. The data are strongest for absence of risk with a single first-trimester abortion; they are much less definitive for multiple or later-term abortions (in part because these are quite rare), but in no case is there actual positive evidence that abortion increases the risk. I think it is worth being a little bit clearer in the language we use, to avoid contributing to the prevalence of false or misleading information about abortion on the Internet and elsewhere. ''''''
