Biggs also testified that there is no evidence that abortion causes women to have mental health problems. She said a national study comparing women seeking abortions who were just under the cutoff date to obtain them with a group of women who were over the cutoff and were turned away from clinics found no difference in the rates of issues like depression and post-traumatic stress.
比格斯还证实，到目前为止，尚无证据表明堕胎会导致女性出现心理健康问题。她表示，一项全国性研究比较了在堕胎截止日期前成功堕胎的女性与过了截止日期被诊所拒之门外的女性，发现两者患上抑郁症和创伤后紧张症的比率没有差别。
