Hurting?

You are not alone!

Below are some questions for you to consider. Abortion can be a life long struggle of painful memories for many women. For others, abortion is an occasional depressing thought, to be quickly buried.

These questions will help you get in touch with areas of your life that have been affected by abortion. It may surprise you to know that most women do not seek help until 10 to 15 years after the procedure. For some, it can be 20, 30, or even 60 years after. The point is abortion doesn't go away, but there are answers and hope.

When abortion is mentioned, does your body react physically? Do you avoid talking or reading about abortion?
Have you noticed yourself struggling to turn off feelings connected to your abortion(s)?
How is your relationship with the people that were involved in your abortion decision?
Do you feel ashamed or secretive about your abortion(s)? Has your self-esteem changed?
Are there times you're depressed, sick, or accident prone, such as the anniversary date of the abortion(s) or the expected time of the birth?
Do you suppress thoughts about what your baby's sex, name, physical features might be?
Do you feel angry when people talk about abortion?
Do you feel like you can not forgive yourself?
Do you feel like God could never forgive you?
Do you think God is or will punish you for the abortion(s)?
Is your abortion or abortions a deep dark secret that you fear telling anyone?
Did your use of drugs or alcohol increase after the abortion(s)?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, maybe for you, the abortion is "unfinished business." The truth is abortion can have a profound impact on your life. Regardless of how many abortions you have had, there is hope. God has the power to heal all our wounds. Through studying God's word you can be set free from the shame, anger, grief, depression, and guilt of abortion.

"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest."

Matt. 11:28
