If you or someone you know has had an abortion....

I didn’t think I would feel this way…

It is typical to feel relief immediately after having an abortion. It is also typical for that relief to give way to regret, guilt, grief, depression and anxiety. An abortion experience can even interfere with regular daily life and require professional/medical attention. See “the facts” below.

Post abortive support: 919-781-5433, ask for a pregnancy loss consultation

The facts:

An unplanned pregnancy can present an overwhelming number of issues:

● Compared to women who gave birth, women who aborted were 65% more likely to be at risk of long-term clinical depression.(1)
● Teenagers who abort are 10 times more likely to attempt suicide than teens
who have not had an abortion.(2)
● Women who abort have a 6 times higher rate of suicide than those who carry to term.(3)
