Abortion affects every life it touches,

and for many women and men--

it hurts long after the choice is made.

Millions of women have chosen abortion as a "solution" to an unplanned pregnancy.
A time of relief and denial is normal.
It is natural to try to forget negative experiences.
Long after the abortion is over, emotional, psychological, and spiritual struggles linger.
Symptoms may not appear for years after an abortion.
Many have tried to deny or ignore these feelings for a long time… and yet the feelings occur at the most inopportune times.

Researchers and health care professionals are now classifying these symptoms as Post-Abortion Stress.

  You are not alone.

 Feelings of

• sadness
• depression
• guilt
• unforgiveness of self or others

are typical for most post-abortive women and men.

Take the self-assessment to see if this fits you.
