But it happens. That was my point. You said:

That is incorrect. I read that as meaning "abortion in and of itself cannot cause any mental anguish".

It
can cause depression. It doesn't always, obviously. The fact that you've not touched on physiological causes of depression tells me that more research should probably be done on this subject before conclusive advice is given. The hormonal imbalance that happens while pregnant and between pregnancy and not being pregnant can cause depression. Again, speak to a professional, though. A psychiatrist would be able to elaborate more on this than I can.
