This leads us to summon a question of understanding how the biological process of activated mourning is present after the decision was purposely made to terminate the pregnancy by removal of the fetus. Researchers have begun to develop and categorize this mourning into four stages that express symptoms like that of clinical depression. More research must be done for us to fully grasp the concept that this procedure has on the women that choose to terminate their pregnancy. In this time, we are engulfed in a pro-choice pro-life debate when we must regard our attention to the aspects this procedure has on the mental health of the women involved. One’s research would involve a series of interventions that would be developed and targeted towards women that have had abortion’s by choice, without any medical professional intervening in that decision.
