IF YOU HAVE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT AN ABORTION…..
...or if you know someone who is thinking about one…..or who has had one…..or who you think MIGHT think about one in the future…..then there IS a website that can help…....
WELCOME
Thank you for visiting this Web site. I’m so glad you’re here. I especially welcome visitors who have personally experienced abortion—whether it was your own or the abortion of someone close to you. This Web site is close to my heart because I’ve been there.
When I became pregnant at 18, I had an abortion.
I was completely unprepared for the emotional fallout. I thought the abortion would erase the pregnancy. I thought I could move on with my life. I was wrong.
I experienced periods of intense anger followed by periods of profound sadness. When my feelings became too difficult to deal with, I reached out for help from a trained counselor.
With counseling and the help of supportive friends, I was able to enter into a healthy grieving process.
In addition to grieving the loss of my child, I slowly became aware of how my choice to abort had impacted my family. I was surprised and saddened that my parents, my sister, and even my living children struggled to deal with the loss of a family member through abortion.
Over the years I’ve heard many heartrending stories about abortion. Although each story is unique, a common thread moves through them all—abortion changes you. Yet there is no forum to help abortion participants—and the people who are closest to them—explore this tragic truth. Although abortion has touched many of us, we rarely share our personal experiences regarding it.
This is what led me to write a book that shares some of the stories I’ve heard. There was also a need for a safe space for people to tell their stories, explore the ways abortion has impacted them, and find resources. We created AbortionChangesYou.com to fill this need.
It is my hope that this Web site will assist you as you seek to make sense of your abortion or the abortion of someone close to you.
It’s a site for sharing, with a mission that appears to be unique - at least, I’ve never seen another just like this:
OUR MISSION
This confidential space is for those who are touched by abortion, whether the experience happened recently or years ago.
Abortion Changes You is a refuge for those who wish to tell their story and begin the process of healing.
Your Friends at AbortionChangesYou.com
