Absolutley!: There is overwhelming evidence, mostly from the european literature, that elective abortion is associated with significant alterations of mood, including depression and anxiety. Please see the most recent and comprehensive meta-analysis by dr. Priscilla coleman in the british journal of psychiatry in 2011. The american college of ob/gyn's denies this association despite the overwhelming evidenc.
