Overview

Feeling compassion and offering support following an abortion is one of the few areas of common ground in the abortion debate. Unfortunately, people on either side of the issue too often believe that while they are understanding and compassionate, those on the "other side" are not.

The politics of abortion are getting in the way of post abortion healing. Those who are experiencing grief do not need rationalization or slogans. They need the reality of their emotional experience to be understood, accepted, and respected.

We believe that both sides want to be understanding and compassionate, but both sides are equally blind to the ways in which they are failing. As a result, women and men struggling with unresolved grief over an abortion may be caught in a trap – boxed in by the politics of abortion, afraid to share their grief.

Will their Pro-Life friends condemn and reject them? Will their Pro-Choice friends be able to acknowledge their pain as valid? The service providers linked or listed here, whether faith-based or secular, are ready and able to help you deal with the grief, with no judgment, no political agenda. You are not alone; you can get the help you need.
