Emotional and Psychological Impact

Following abortion, many women experience initial relief.  The perceived crisis is over and life returns to normal.  For many women, however, the crisis is not over.  Months and even years later, significant problems develop. 

Women who have experienced abortion may develop the following symptoms:

• Guilt 
• Grief
• Anger
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Suicidal Thoughts
• Difficulty Bonding with Partner or Children
• Eating Disorders 

If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, our pregnancy center offers confidential, compassionate support groups designed to help women work through these feelings.  You are not alone.

If you wish to begin the healing process from a past abortion or abortions, post-abortion counseling is available, free of charge.  Individual or group counseling is available.  Deciding to seek help may be one of the toughest decisions you have to make, but it may be one of the best.

To talk to someone about issues from a past abortion, please call us.  All calls are confidential.

Spiritual Issues to Consider

People have different understandings of God.  Whatever your present beliefs may be, there is a spiritual side to abortion that deserves to be considered.  Having an abortion may affect more than your body and your mind, it may have an impact on your relationship with God.  What is God's desire for you in this situation?  How does God see your unborn child?  These are important questions to consider.
