Considering abortion? Understand YOUR ABORTION RIGHTS But I'm staunchly pro choice. Really know what 'abortion' means?

Is your heart hurting after having had an abortion? You're not alone.
If this is a decision from your past -- or even one you're considering today,
please know the following:

Women (and men!) consistently describe -- often through tears --
that memories of the consequences of that decision still haunt them
and cause heartache.
Read testimonies of women who have had abortions.
More voices of "women who mourn."
Post Abortion Syndrome is a reality.
If you're suffering from 3 or more of the following symptoms
and have had an abortion, you may be experiencing PAS:
*unresolved and persistent feelings of guilt
*anxiety that just won't go away
*psychological "numbing" that hampers healthy relationships
*reliving the abortion episode or having nightmares about it
*worsening of these symptoms around the anniversary date
(either of the abortion or of the due date of the aborted child)
*depression and/or thoughts of suicide
*development of eating disorders
*preoccupation with becoming pregnant again
*anxiety about childbearing or fertility issues
*alcohol and/or drug abuse
*difficulty bonding with future children or an interruption
of the bonding process with those you already have
*a brief psychotic episode a week or two after the abortion
Healing is possible. You can grieve this loss,
come to an understanding of God's love and forgiveness
and learn to forgive yourself, releasing you from the load
of guilt, numbing and anxiety.
