After-Abortion Care

No one wakes up and thinks, “Gee, I hope I have an abortion today.” It’s a personal choice that is never made easily. Women get abortions for a variety of reasons. Their circumstances may make them feel desperate, frightened, or pressured by someone else. Other women get abortions because they simply don’t want a child.

Whatever your reason, if you are struggling with a past abortion decision, your feelings are valid. You deserve to find healing and wholeness.

One study found that there are correlations between abortion and poor mental health. Here’s what the study found:

• Having an abortion is consistently associated with elevated rates of mental illness compared to women without a history of abortion.
• The abortion experience directly contributes to mental health problems for at least some women.
• There are risk factors, such as pre-existing mental illness, that identify women at greatest risk of mental health problems after an abortion.

Those women who struggle with their abortion decision may express the following difficulties:

• A sense of loss
• Grief
• Anxiety
• Guilt
• Depression
• Substance abuse
• Relationship difficulties

At Hope First, hope and healing are available if you’re struggling with a previous abortion decision.
