According to a team of Harvard psychiatrists who have studied 100 cases, "the vast majority of women do not experience mental anguish." Quite the contrary: they feel great relief when the abortion is over, and their mental health becomes and remains better. In fact, after surveying 75 of his colleagues in the U.S. and abroad, Psychiatrist Jerome Rummer concluded that the notion of post-abortion mental illness is probably myth: "Abortion, far from being a precipitator of psychiatric illness, is actually a defense against it in women susceptible to mental illness...
...second half of the 1960s the way a few years earlier we had covered the Doty Committee or the Inner Belt or the Cambridge City Council. It simply couldn't be done.

...trouble with this, the reason that we cannot fully accept it, is that Bergman's anguish is so much more intense than this final fillip of grace. The despair is so much deeper than the redemption. There are but a few fleeting glimpses from Agnes' diary; perhaps there ought to have been more, to serve both as balance and counterpoint. There should certainly have been more about the men in the film, who are shadows and ciphers. The single most shattering scene in the film becomes, for this reason, unnecessarily oblique. Preparing herself for bed one evening, Karin...
