A study on the impact of abortion on men found that the majority of men who experience abortion loss also experience some kind of negative impact on their lives.
A national study commissioned by Support After Abortion, which focuses on after-abortion healing, found that the majority of men who experience abortion loss also experience some kind of negative impact on their liveshas primarily surrounded women and as a result of societal expectations, men might be less likely to express their true feelings about an unplanned pregnancy or abortion, but research shows they have strong emotions regarding that choice.
"I had no say in either decision," Mayo explained in the study."At that time few people were talking about abortion healing ... especially for men. The decades that followed, until I found healing in 2009, were mired and muddled by the fallout of lost fatherhood.
"Especially men, they wouldn't dare say they have feelings about it, because that might be interpreted as they don't support the choice of the woman or pro-choice beliefs in general," she said."I think not having a say gets confused with not having emotions."

Of the 71 percent of men who reported adverse changes in themselves after an abortion, 31 percent identified as pro-choice and 40 percent identified as pro-life."The narrative is that ‘it has nothing to do with me, but I feel this way,'" she said."There's lots of confusion and a lot to sort through on the male end of this."
"We have all these data points and every single one of them validates what I experienced," he said."I think it affects millions of men and I want to help." In the study, nearly half of men, or 45 percent, said they did not have a voice or choice
