After Abortion

If you are one of the millions of women who have made the choice to have an abortion, you know that the memories associated with this experience can be difficult and even painful. Months and years may go by without any remeberence of the abortion experience. Then, one day, you find yourself wondering what your life would have been like had your child lived. Triggers like seeing children that are the same age that your child might have been, or the anniversary date of the abortion/birth date of the child, may leave you feeling anxious, scared, and fearful. For most women, the abortion is a closely held secret. Rarely do we talk about this pain with family or friends. Many feel fearful that they will will be judged if others find out about the abortion.
