In pre-counseling sessions and online, myths about what happens to a woman's mental well-being following an abortion are widespread and misleading, researchers say.
"There's so much misinformation, so many myths about abortion.

President Joe Biden warned against a streak of “semi-isolationism” in the US as he stressed the importance of alliances during a symbolic visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery on Sunday, honoring the thousands of Americans who died in World War I at a site former President Donald Trump skipped during a 2018 visit to Paris.
