Post Abortive Women

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.
