“It's important for folks to know that abortion does not cause mental health problems. What's harmful are the stigma surrounding abortion, the lack of knowledge about it, and the lack of access.”
- Debra Mollen, PhD, a professor of counseling psychology at Texas Woman's University
 
Recent news has reignited important conversations about women’s mental health and healthcare access. Professional bodies in our fields have made their positions very clear. The American Psychiatric Association has firmly reiterated the position it has held for decades, “that abortion is a medical procedure for which physicians should respect the patient’s right to freedom of choice” and that it “opposes all constitutional amendments, legislation, and regulations curtailing family planning and abortion services to any segment of the population.” An article by the American Psychological Association presents facts about abortion and mental health, looking at the scientific research over the past 50 years.

The latest issue of EJPA includes an invited paper on AI and machine learning in psychological assessment, that expresses strong opinions, but it is also meant to serve as a starting point to open up a discussion of its role in assessment.
