Abortion can affect women and men for months or years after the abortion has taken place. 

According to “Common Issues of Post-Abortive People” by Sydna Masse, the following is a list of things she has found in her years of working with post-abortive women and men:

• Guilt
• Anxiety
• Avoiding Children or Pregnant Women
• Feeling “Numb”
• Depression
• Thoughts of Suicide
• Anniversary Reminders
• Experiencing the Abortion Again
• Wanting to get Pregnant Again
• Fear of Infertility
• Unable to Bond with Present or Future Children
• Fear that Their Children will Die
• Eating Disorders
• Alcohol and Drug Use

No one should have to suffer through these difficult emotions alone.
