Women who had therapeutic abortions were asked if they planned to bear or adopt children. Those who planned to have children exhibited more neurotic symptoms following abortion than did those who planned not to have children. While the extent of disturbances was not abnormal, it is suggested that the ambivalence of women who have abortions while still planning for children in the future is of clinical importance.
