If abortion makes troubled women even more troubled, isn't that something valuable to know?

Certainly. My comment concerned only study methodology. Would this cohort of troubled women (the ones who seek abortions) be more, less, or as troubled if they carried to term? The study can't tell us.

I also get a little concerned about whether some of the approaches to "life issues" - such as abortion leads to cancer, or ASCs are more efficacious than ESCs, or this study - are really the way to go. I don't think there's adequate scientific evidence to support such arguments, and there is an underlying concession to pragmatism over principle.
