Hope and Healing After Abortion

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.

For those who are seeking healing after an abortion, here are some resources:

Entering Canaan: A Sacramental Journey to an Inheritance of Mercy - One-day and weekend retreats for those suffering from the effects of abortion, developed by the Sisters of Life and Theresa Bonopartis.  For more information call 718-881-8008 or you can call Theresa Bonopartis at 1-877-586-4621, or email her.
