Abortion Haunts Decades Later

Women and men who choose abortion can experience decades of emotional trauma. Maria, eighty-four-years-old now, was coerced into an abortion fifty-seven years ago. The tears still flow when she recalls the story. Weeks after the botched abortion and alone, she gave birth to the tiny baby. Maria says she never forgets and thinks about the baby every day. An eighty-five-year-old African-American Baptist minister recalls the shame and emotional pain his abortion still inflicts, thirty years after the event. Many people daily struggle with the pain of a past abortion because they’ve never gotten the help they need. If you’re one of them, contact me through our website at life issues dot org. I can connect you with a free local counselor who will walk with you through the healing process.
