Doesn't this statement scream for psychological testing before the abortion?? If the woman is not stable enough for an abortion then she should not be a candidate for one. Exactly!!

"Was she disturbed before the abortion or only since it?"That would be interesting to know in this particular case. I'm not sure that the answer to this question matters in the instances of future abortions.
The providers, most likely, will have to screen for instability.
I wonder if this will have any repercussions in the US? The pro-aborts are always telling us the decision to abort is a stressful one, not an easy one, for most women. I wonder just how stressful they are willing to admit the decision is?

I think you're right. The question of psychological disturbance prior to an abortion probably doesn't matter in terms of assigning contribution or causation for a medical-legal case. However, if they screened (and some do) they could decide the legal risk was too high with someone who was predisposed to psychiatric problems before the abortion and then decide not to perform the abortion. That would raise an interesting scenario from a legal standpoint and from a "politically correct" viewpoint.

That looks pretty nice. Who sponsors Becky? I was looking for links to Right to Life, Priests for Life, etc.

I checked the credits.
It's an Oregon Right to Life production, and she's the girl who's decided to write the columns on the site tell her story etc..
