Post-Abortion Healing A critical component in building a culture of life is helping to heal the wounds of our loved ones; helping them to find hope. Part of this involves simply telling the truth about the harm of abortion to mother and child, and offering resources for women suffering from abortion.  As one Silent No More speaker shared at the March for Life, “It seemed easy, it seemed harmless, and that’s what they tell you. But I’m here to tell you, 30 years later, I suffered with the pain and regret of abortion.” video You may have a friend or family member, whether you know it or not, who is in need of post-abortive healing. There are many wonderful ministries and resources available for both women and men who carry this burden. Or perhaps you know someone who is thinking of abortion and not aware of the emotional and physical harm it may bring. Below are a handful of very simple ideas for you to help get the word out about hope and healing.
