Original sentence: A comparative analysis of the suicide rates among  postpartum and post-abortive women in Finland found a raw  statistical correlation between abortion and suicide.Data on the incidence of clinical depression, mental illness, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicide in association with abortion remain inconclusive.Elective abortion may reduce the occurrence of depression in cases of unwanted pregnancy, as compared to cases in which the pregnancy has been carried to completion, but it is also sometimes reported as an additional stressor.Other studies have suggested a link between the elective termination of an unwanted pregnancy and an improvement in reported mental well-being.The majority of evidence would seem to indicate that adverse emotional reactions to the procedure are most strongly influenced by pre-existing  psychological conditions and other negative factors
Edited sentence: A study conducted by Finland’s National Research and Development Center for Welfare and Health, that was published in the European Journal of Public Health, found significantly higher suicide rates and death rates, among women who had an abortion, versus women who had given birth.Abortion might mean a selection of women at higher risk for suicide because of reasons like depression.Although the correlation existed other factors were determined to have possibly inhibited some of the results.Another explanation for the higher suicide rate after an abortion could be low social class, low social support, and previous life events or that abortion is chosen by women who are at higher risk for suicide because of other reasons.Increased risk for a suicide after an induced abortion can, besides indicating common risk factors for both, result from a negative effect of induced abortion on mental wellbeing.Our data clearly shows, however, that women who have experienced an abortion have an increased risk of suicide, which should be taken into account in the prevention of such deaths.With our data, however, it was not possible to study the causality more carefully.“The relation between suicide, mental disorders, life events, social class, and social support is a complex one
