Abortion, Psychiatry, and the Quality of Life
Abstract
Psychiatry should be more deeply concerned about the quality of life than any other medical discipline. The population explosion already threatens the quality of life on this planet. On the individual level, the forced arrival of an unwanted, unloved child because of archaic abortion laws creates grave consequences for the unwanted child, the unloving mother, the fragmented family, and ultimately for society itself. When contraception fails, preventive psychiatry requires that abortion be a matter between a woman and her physician.
