Summary	"Post-abortion stress syndrome ... sounds scientific, but don't be fooled - it's a made-up term," reports the Ms. Magazine. The story describes the alleged syndrome as "a bogus affliction invented by the religious right," and finds that it is "anti-choice dirty-play at its worst." The article reveals that millions of dollars are spent each year on alleviation and assistance of women who have had abortions, although "overwhelming scientific evidence shows that abortion does not hurt women - physically or mentally."
