Dr Gillian Penny, chairman of the guidelines development group of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said women did not usually suffer psychological problems unless they were already disturbed before the abortion.

This doctor is either in complete ideological denial, or she is flat out lying. It is well established that a large percentage of women who have abortions experience sadness, guilt, and sometimes severe mental anguish. They may imagine things like hearing the missing baby crying in the night. This is true more or less regardless of religious beliefs, or whether they have given the matter much thought beforehand. But the only places you will see such studies is in professional journals or pro-life newsletters, because the media have regularly suppressed all such information for ideological reasons.

In a way, it's surprising that the Guardian is giving any publicity at all to this lawsuit, even unfriendly publicity.

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.

Pray for GW and abortionist victims
