I think you have not taken into consideration the following facts:

1) women and even minor girls are NOT required to receive psychological counseling before they undergo an abortion

2) the abortion business is NOT, in most states, required to make sure the client is aware of abortion alternatives

3) it is not difficult, in some cases, to identify a link between symptoms of psychological trauma and, specifically, abortion. Thus could involve expert testimony by psychologists, psychiatrists or other counselors that the patient had recurring crises on specific dates, e.g. the anniversary of the abortion or the due-date of the baby had it been born. There might be a clinical record of suicide attempts. There might be a self-harming pattern related to recall-factors, e.g. panic attacks from experiencing menstrual flow, connected by the patient herself to the abortion bleeding.

Input by expert witnesses and clinical evidence would probably be crucial.

Again, this is not a tattoo removal or a facelift we’re talking about. This is the killing of one’s own child, and the clinical evidence for these kinds of sequelae is not lacking.

Sorry, but it’s still a legal non-starter. Courts would correctly hold it was simply a way to try to work an abortion ban into civil law.

I’m against abortion but this is not the way to fight it.
