Check out NPR this morning. Abortion doesn't cause depression. The study covered more than 80 thousand women who had abortions and compared them to 280 thousand women who had babies. That is plenty big enough to catch any significant effect.

When someone says abortion causes depression you know they're not a trustworthy source of information about reproductive health. Maybe they mean well, but they're not getting good information and so can't pass it on. Keep it in mind.

The abstract of the full study is here:
I don't have access to the full study because I don't have access to the New England Journal of Medicine.
