Actionable? Panel Discussion on Post-Abortion Mental Health Effects

This looks to be a useful discussion and a good networking opportunity for anybody interested in abortionists' legal liability for the emotional distress of women (and perhaps even men) impacted by abortion. Especially interesting is the reappearance of Dr. David Reardon who "wrote the book" on litigating mental anguish claims against abortion providers, and helped put on training conferences for attorneys in conjunction with Life Dynamics several years ago.

FRC To Host Panel Discussion On Post-Abortion Mental Health Effects

Washington, D.C. - Thursday, October 9, at 10:00 am, Family Research Council will host a panel discussion with leading researchers and clinicians on abortion history and associated mental health effects. Data from numerous studies will be discussed and analyzed to explore associations between abortion and mental health, and substance abuse disorders. Additionally, results from a national poll conducted through the Elliot Institute examining politics and post-abortion awareness will be presented. Join us to learn more about the body of research the American Psychological Association failed to assess in its recent report on abortion and mental health.
