An analogy to the link between abortion and depression can be found in the novel, The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. In the story, Ying Ying St. Clair begins to disassociate on and off due to an abusive relationship. During one of her episodes of her zoning out, she accidentally drowns her baby while bathing it. She goes on to suffer long periods of depression afterwards.
