Resumo

Available research concerning psychological effects of abortion is reviewed, and background and psychological data from patients attending a legalized abortion program in New York State are presented. Patients demographically reflected the community at large, and, consistent with the literature, experienced few psychological difficulties. Scientific and ethical implications are discussed.
