After Abortion - Now What?

Are you in need of healing from a prior abortion or prior abortions?  You are definitely not alone! 

Approximately 1 in 4 women have had an abortion, and 9 out of 10 of these women will suffer emotional effects from these abortions.  Can you identify any of the following symptoms in your life?

  • Sadness
  • Long-term grief reactions
  • Anger
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Guilt
  • Self-hatred
  • Depression
  • Distrust of men or doctors
  • Flashbacks
  • Fear of others finding out
  • Memory repression
  • Hurt
  • Hopelessness
  • Fear of God’s punishment
  • Having multiple sex partners
  • Nightmares
  • Low self-worth
  • Regret/Sorrow
  • Anniversary reactions
  • Hallucinations
  • Suicidal ideas
  • Increased alcohol and drug use
  • Difficulty keeping close relationships

Some women try to replace the baby by having another one right away; others have a difficult time being around babies, children or pregnant women

Some psychologists refer to these symptoms as PAS (Post Abortion Stress).  And time does not usually erase these symptoms.  But there is hope!  We have trained post-abortion leaders who can help, either in a small group setting with other post-abortive women, or one-on-one.  Our services are free, confidential, and offered by caring, compassionate people.
