As you say....the effects vary. But there is an intent by many who oppose abortion to generalize and politicize the issue bu using anecdotes and flawed data to suggest that abortions pose a direct threat to a woman's mental health. IMO, that was Ustwo's intent..but I could certainly be wrong.

It's not a threat often enough to justify making a rule either way. As such, it's an ineffective argument for either side. I couldn't argue it's common enough to justify turning people away because of potential emotional distress and a pro choicer couldn't justify accepting people because there's no potential for emotional distress.

As I said, the man should be part of the decision-making, but ultimately, a woman's reproductive choice is hers.

A man cannot be guaranteed a part of the decision making when he is only allowed to be included on the whim of the woman. Thus the thread.
