The Relationship of Abortion to Well-Being. Do Race and Religion Make a Difference? Professional Psychology: Research and Practice 28,1 (February 1997): 23-31. Also: http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/pro/28/1/23/ Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) Keyword(s): Abortion; Adolescent Behavior; Childbearing; Education; Ethnic Differences; Health, Mental/Psychological; Income; Legislation; Racial Differences; Religion; Religious Influences; Well-Being Relationships of abortion and childbearing to well-being were examined for 1,189 Black and 3,147 White women. Education, income, and having a work role were positively and independently related to well-being for all women. Abortion did not have an independent relationship to well-being, regardless of race or religion, when well-being before becoming pregnant was controlled. These findings suggest professional psychologists should explore the origins of women's mental health problems in experiences predating their experience with abortion, and they can assist psychologists in working to ensure that mandated scripts from "informed consent" legislation do not misrepresent scientific findings.
