b) This is not to say that mental anguish some women experience after an abortion is not real, just that it is not "caused" by the abortion. If you were both brought up in an environment that is opposed to abortion, or if you simply feel yourselves becoming depressed after doing it, you should both absolutely get counseling. Abortion is certainly not an easy decision, and sometimes it takes professional help to get through your emotions after difficult periods in your life.

Imagine a young Ustwo, about to get lucky in a girls dorm room. Shes fun, shes good looking, shes naked.
Just prior to 'the deed' she starts to sob, not cry, sob.
Turns out had an abortion 5 years ago she never got over and was still in 'mental anguish over'.
I'm sure that the PROCESS of an abortion doesn't cause mental anguish, but the knowledge you just flushed out a baby sure can.
Saying abortion itself causes it, is trying to cleave rabbits. I'm sure the physical act the doctor does in an abortion to the woman does not cause the depression. So what.
All I can say to the OP is that, while at 21 I did not think I was ready for children, and I didn't have children until I was 34, I do wish, in retrospect, I had them earlier. Having children is not the end of fun and life, and in fact we did more 'fun' things just the two of us the year after my son was born than in the last 3 years combined. It makes you appreciate your time together more.
But really, you are adults now, not children, you need to make an adult decision.
