Mental Health Outcomes Of Induced Abortion

EDM number 2547 in 2010-12, proposed by Julian Huppert on 14/12/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Medical ethics and Mental health.

That this House welcomes the recent publication of the systematic review of the mental health outcomes of induced abortion by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health; notes that the review concludes that the rates of mental health problems for women with an unwanted pregnancy were the same whether they had an abortion or gave birth; further notes that all women have the right to non-judgemental and evidence-based information on pregnancy choices; and believes that all organisations who offer advice, information or counselling to women with an unplanned pregnancy should base their information on current, evidence-based guidance produced by a professional clinical body such as the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health review, or the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists clinical guidance on The Care of Women Requesting Induced Abortion.

This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
