After Abortion: For those who need healing
Some people seem to think there are two types of people: those that decide no, and those that do. Life isn't that simple. Some do and regret. There is a myth that there is no emotional cost doing abortion, but for some women that is not the reality. For those people there is help from people who care, frequently people who have also suffered the same pain and wish to help.
Here are some places to get started:

Hope After Abortion:
It's normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss of a child by abortion. It can form a hole in one's heart, a hole so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the emptiness.
Since 1973, there have been more than 36 million abortions in the United States. While some women report relatively little trauma following abortion, for many, the experience is devastating, causing severe and long-lasting emotional, psychological and spiritual trauma.
Many links here for resources, help, support.
