Is there data to support the idea that parents who wanted an abortion but didn't get one tend to be abusive?
If a couple of parents did not want their baby but for some reason they never got an abortion, do they tend to be more abusive towards that baby after it is born?
Is there Data to support that claim either way?
Please include sources.
Thank You!!

There was a 2006 study which showed that women in Romania who were denied an abortion resented the child and failed to provide the care and nurturing the child needed.

It kind of sounds like you're trying to convince someone to get an abortion. That's pretty sad, thinking women are abusive to their children.
Most abortions are not necessarily "unwanted" children, they're children people aren't ready for. In which case if they chose to have them, they'd love them all the same, but just wish they'd waited.
