Nothing can prepare a woman for the conflicting feelings of relief and loss she will feel after an abortion. For some, the pain is clear and immediate. For others, it emerges over time. Abortion is a secret that women often keep from those closest to them; if that secret isn’t addressed, it can manifest in harmful ways. The following organization can help with compassionate counselors to walk the journey with you.
The National Hotline for Abortion Recovery is: 866-482-LIFE (866-482-5433)
