Without question, abortion can be one of the most traumatic experiences in a person's life. Research indicates that more than 40% of women of child-bearing age have experienced its pain. Many women hide the secret of abortion and suffer severe consequences.
These women are your sisters, mothers, wives and friends, and they carry an incredible burden while wearing a smile on their face. Many struggle for years with repressed memories, guilt, shame and depression. Most women feel they are not allowed to talk about their abortion experience because it was their 'choice.'
The fact is, many women who have had an abortion also experience symptoms of post-abortion trauma. They may not realize that these symptoms are directly related to their past abortion. Often the medical, professional counseling, and pastoral communities overlook abortion as a risk factor in a woman's physical and emotional health.
