Abortion Recovery Resources
Abortion has been a readily available part of our culture since it’s legalization in 1973. Since then approximately 55 million abortions have been recorded in our nation. Statistics estimate that close to 43% (1 out of 3) women of childbearing age have experienced an abortion. These are your sisters, mothers, wives and friends. These women carry an incredible burden of silence and heartache. Many struggle for years with repressed memories, guilt, shame and depression. Most women feel they are not allowed to talk about their abortion experience, especially in church.
The truth is many women who have had an abortion suffer from symptoms of post-abortion grief and trauma. Most often, neither the medical community nor the church understands abortion as a risk factor in a woman’s physical, spiritual or emotional health.
First please know that if you are post-abortive and have not gone through recovery, I know exactly what you are feeling. I have been through recovery and currently serve as a post-abortion recovery leader as founder/director of Wings of Hope. If at any time you need someone to talk to or guidance on where to go for help you can contact me, either by phone or email.
