Climate Anxiety Leads Woman to Abortion, Seeks Peace

A woman has written to an advice columnist saying she ended a pregnancy because of fears about the climate crisis. The 37-year-old is married with two children. She says she developed severe anxiety after their births. Her concern for the environment grew stronger because she believes her children will face greater climate impacts. She explains that her family now lives a very "green" life. However, her climate anxiety was a major factor in her recent decision to have an abortion. She is now struggling with this choice and asking how to come to terms with it. The columnist, Annalisa Barbieri, responds that counselling could help. Her primary advice is for the woman to slow down and allow herself time to grieve.
