Abstract
In 1966 a study of 120 children born to women denied abortion was reported as demonstrating that children issuing from such a circumstance would be handicapped socially and psychologically. Reexamination of the data advanced in light of differences in social class and proneness toward psychiatric consultation indicates that children issuing from a denied abortion turn out much as children in general.Keywords
