"What Happens to Women Denied Abortions?" (Scientific study)

It is late and I am reposting, so in brief:

First long-term study of what happens when women are denied abortions. What happens mentally, emotionally, financially, etc. In brief: if women were allowed to have abortions, a year or so down the line, they were more likely to be employed, less likely to be in an abusive relationship, less likely to be on government assistance, and less likely to be living below the poverty line.

If they are not allowed to have them, and carry their babies to term, only 11% give them up for adoption.

Also:

We have found that there are no mental health consequences of abortion compared to carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term. There are other interesting findings: even later abortion is safer than childbirth...
