Sažetak
Induced abortion is a topic that causes numerous disagreements in today’s society, and due to the ideological bias related to this phenomenon, it is difficult to obtain clear data on the effect of abortion on women’s mental health. In the first chapter of this article, we provide basic data on abortion together with the most important statistics. In the second chapter we present the bioethical aspects related to abortion, while in the third chapter we provide an overview of research that has addressed the psychological consequences of abortion on women and provide a summary of three cases from clinical practice. Although most research rejects the talk of post-abortion syndrome as a separate entity, research results and experiences from clinical and pastoral practice suggest the existence of long-term psychological problems in some women who have abortions. It is important to pay attention to these women in pastoral work and provide them with adequate care.
