What she fails to tell us is that the study was done by those actively involved in what they call 'reproductive issues'
After
personally suffering in silence for fifteen years, because no one would
acknowledge my feelings or validate the grief, depression, anxiety and a
host of other things I felt following my abortion, it was a welcomed
confirmation when I finally found a mental health professional who
confirmed what I knew as true. That is the correct approach. Not the
approach of trying to make me believe I was crazy for my feelings. That
is precisely what Brenda Major is doing by continuing to deny what
countless women feel following abortion.

BRONX, NY (Catholic Online) – I love Sunday
mornings. My usual routine has me getting up early, going to mass, and
then coming home to a cup of coffee, and the Sunday news while curled up
on the couch. It is my day to relax and take it slow.
So, when I came across another article by Brenda Major, Ph.D., in The Washington Post, "Mental Health is the new antiabortion battleground. But the science is all wrong",
trying to tell me, once again, that there is no such thing as post
abortion stress, I was perturbed. She again denies the truth and even
tries to argue that States seeking to pass informed consent legislation
are somehow misleading women.
