Ena od pomembnih posledic končanja življenja nerojenega otroka je lahko porušeno zaupanje do ljudi in tveganje za ločitev.

Pri ženskah, ki so se odločile za končanje življenja nerojenega otroka obstaja izrazito velika verjetnost poznejših kratkotrajnih zvez in več ločitev

Razlogi za to so lahko nizko samospoštovanje, večja nezaupljivost do moških, spolna disfunkcija, zloraba substanc ter povečana stopnja za depresijo, anksioznost in izbruhe jeze.

Več revščine in enostarševstva po ponavljajočih splavih

Ženske, ki so umetno splavile več kot enkrat (kar je vsako leto skoraj polovica tistih, ki naredijo splav)  bolj verjetno postanejo matere samohranilke in potrebujejo javno pomoč.

30 – 50 % postabortivnih žensk poroča o doživljanju spolne disfunkcije

Omenjena disfunkcija se kaže v obliki promiskuitete, izgube užitka ob spolnih odnosih, večiji bolečini in odporu do spolnosti in/ali moških.
