Washington, DC -- A leading psychology professor and a liberal pro-life group are concerned that the American Psychological Association will hide the risks of abortion when it released a new report in August.
Last year, the psychological group began a new review of abortion and emotional issues.

If the APA conducts an exhaustive and honest review of the data, it will find a New Zealand study  showing 40 percent of women who have abortions experienced significant depression -- a higher rate than women who carry their pregnancy to term.

Other studies have shown women who have abortions have higher levels of addictions to drugs or alcohol and higher suicide rates
