Post-traumatic
suffering is the untold story of abortion.
Although the very real and frighteningly
devastating phenomenon of post-abortion syndrome
has been reported by those who suffer, until
very recently nearly all medical and
psychological health care professionals, and the
academic groups that represent them, have
ignored the human suffering associated with the
practice of abortion. There are literally
millions of women and men who, alone and
abandoned, suffer some of the most serious
psychological and spiritual consequences of
contemporary society's disregard for the
sanctity of human life and the sacredness of
human sexuality.
