The politics and science of a new pro-life argument: Do abortions endanger a woman's mental health? Next time on NOW.

Does abortion cause long-term emotional and psychological problems for women? On Friday, July 20, at 8:30 p.m. (check local listings), NOW introduces viewers to a new front in the effort to end abortions in the United States: claims of extreme negative effects on a woman's mental health. Once focusing primarily on the unborn child, anti-abortion advocates see new hope in an argument that focuses on the women who've made or are about to make a fateful decision. All sides of the debate have been listening and weighing in, including the Supreme Court.
