I found this group, part of the APA (American Psychological Association) and clearly pro abortion.
These, I am sure, are some of the people stating abortion does no harm to women…

"The Association for Women in Psychology was convened during the 1969 meeting of the American Psychological Association because APA was not responding to the issues raised by the new women’s liberation movement. AWP members continued to speak out at APA meetings over the next few years about employment discrimination, sexual harassment, lack of research and theory on women, and
other issues we now collect under the term "sexism." Because of AWP’s efforts, an official group for the psychology of women (Division
35) was created in APA in 1973. In 1977, joint AWP
and Division 35 efforts resulted in the creation of a Women’s Program Office at APA headquarters. Two decades later, AWP continues to play an active role outside of APA, sponsoring
annual and occasional regional conferences on feminist psychology and publishing a newsletter. We make several awards
annually on topics relevant to feminist psychology."
They obviously are not concerned with the mental health of women suffering from abortion
Mental health
We support the stance of the American Psychological Association
which disputes causal links between abortion and mental health problems
such as depression and anxiety. Furthermore, the APA recognizes that keeping
abortion safe, legal, and accessible is a mental health issue and a child
welfare issue as well as a women’s health issue.
While we recognize that women may feel a variety of emotions
following an abortion, including otions, we oppose the creation of a mental
health disorder to describe these reactions. We feel that Post-Abortion
Syndrome and other myths have been used by anti-choice advocates solely to prsue
legislation banning abortion anot in the interests of women’s health.
