[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I do not know a single woman who has had an abortion who had depression as a result.[/b]

I know quite a few women who have not had abortions who have had depression.

There are, no doubt, women within both of these categories who have had abortions and depression but given the numbers, its really difficult to say the abortion caused the depression.

More importantly, this is a trope of the anti-abortion movement.  But they have cooked the numbers and when objective people study it, they find no connection.[/quote]

How large is your sample size? Do you know 2 or 3 single women who have had abortions? 1000? Your anecdotal evidence is less than useless.[/quote]

Non-anecdotal evidence:

And, in case you want to argue that this only applies to sinful, morality-free Danes, here's more non-anecdotal evidence from the US:
