What they didn't tell me about abortion

Many women face unplanned pregnancies in the U.S., nearly half of all pregnancies that occur each year are unplanned. An unplanned pregnancy may have left you wondering what to do. Maybe you didn’t think it was the right time for a child, maybe the potential father wouldn’t have been good dad-material, or maybe you did not feel financially ready for a child. Whatever circumstances made you decide on abortion now fall in the shadow of a haunting thought whether you made the right decision or not. Maybe now you regret the decision to have an abortion, but no one ever mentioned you may regret it… Let me offer you some encouragement.

You are not alone. Nearly 1 in 4 women have had an abortion. According to a recent study, over half of the nearly 1,000 participating women in a post-abortive study sought counseling because of their abortion. Many articles you may come across online state that the majority of women feel no shame or regret after their abortion, but that has been widely questioned and discredited by multiple sources. If you are feeling regret, your feelings matter and should be acknowledged. We want to offer you support and healing.

If you find yourself struggling with anger, depression, substance abuse, relationship problems, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, nightmares, or guilt, you may find comfort in our abortion recovery support group.  These can be common symptoms of post-abortion stress. We don’t promise immediate healing, but we can offer help from someone who has been there and has worked through the feelings you may be experiencing now.
​
You are valuable and no matter what decisions you made in the past, you deserve healing. We won’t have all the answers, but we can provide encouragement as you walk through this journey. All of our services are free and confidential, if you would like to talk to someone about healing the hurt from your abortion, we’re here for you. 

You matter, we CARE.
