Been There? Done That?  Having second thoughts about your abortion?

Abortion is not a "one-size fits all" solution to every unplanned pregnancy. Although all women who experience abortion do not experience problems afterwards, many women do.  Immediately following an abortion, a woman may feel a sense of relief that the crisis is over. In the years following the abortion, the sense of relief may be replaced by some of the following:
     •     Depression
     •     Sadness
     •     Eating disorders
     •     Anxiety
     •     Feelings of low self-esteem
     •     Desire to avoid pregnant women and/or babies
     •     Recurring nightmares or flashbacks to the abortion experience
     •     Various types of addictive behaviors
    
Many credible studies have been done and psychologists are now recognizing PAS (Post-abortion Stress) as a type of post-traumatic stress disorder. At Hope Women's Centers, we have trained counselors who can assist you in working through issues that you think may be related to a past abortion. Call today and make an appointment to talk to someone.

All of our services are confidential to the fullest extent allowable by law, and are offered at no charge. This decision is too important to let money get in the way. We do not profit from your unplanned pregnancy.
