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.
