Hello, I came here looking for help and i believe that i didnt need to look here after all. Im 20 years old, i have 2 children and ive been pregnant 6 times. I thought that i was havinga crisis pregnancy just now, but i dont think that i am. I need to just stand up for myself in this situation. My kids are mine alone, even if they have fathers biologically. Im sad to say that Ive had an abortion before when i was 16, and YES PTSD/ Post Abortion Disorders do exist. I was one of those girls who lost it right after. I was Young and the Choice that i was into when i was 16 haunts me for the rest of my life. The father of the Dead Baby and my oldest living Boy is just as responisble as i was at the time. But Truth is that Im a single Mom with 2 kids, and I have my life together, its going well I LOVE MY BABIES. I just need to stop listening to all the hatred directed at me when Im trying to recover from Bad choices. I love My children that Ive Had and Miss the ones I haven't had the chance to Hold and sing to. I sang to a miscarried baby Months earlier, and IT BROKE MY HEART. That was Bad enough, Abortion is even worst , If you Believe Your Born and or UnBaby and You Deserve to Live a Life of Happyness, then Please dont have an abortion. It takes so much away from you As a woman, sister, Friend, Mother. If not now Later you will realise that.

Hello Nicole,
Thank you for sharing your own personal story with us, it takes a strong person to be vulnerable with people. It sounds to me like you are kind of back and forth on how you feel about this topic? I agree with you that the woman who is in this situation must ultimately make the choice for herself because she is the one who has to live with it. If you would like to talk more about your experience you can email us at info@abortionrecoverycentre.ca.

Hello,
Thank you for submitting your opinion about abortion. While it is true that many women suffer from guilt, depression, and suicide without having an abortion; the statistics we acquired are specifically about women who have gone through an abortion. If you would like to check our information about abortion and the link to breast cancer, you can go to http://www.abortionbreastcancer.com/start/ and http://www.jpands.org/vol10no4/brind.pdf.
For Post Abortion Syndrome you can check out our references
• Herman, J., Trauma and Recovery, (New York: Basic Books, 1992) 34.
• Rue et al., “Induced abortion and traumatic stress: A preliminary comparison of American and Russian women,” Medical Science Monitor 10(10): SR5-16, 2004.
• Or check out the website: http://www.afterabortion.info
In regards to adoption, we acknowledge that adoption is indeed a pregnancy loss and every pregnancy loss involves grief. We have worked with many women who have chosen adoption and have had the privilege to walk along side them as they work through the loss of their child. Adoption is not easy; in fact each of the pregnancy options comes with its own unique set of struggles.

Hey Tara,
Thank you for giving us your opinion on abortion. We are always open to the opinion of others; especially those such as yourself, who speak from experience. We are happy to hear that your abortion has not caused any of the symptoms others have relayed to us. At The Abortion Recovery Centre (ARC), we have seen hundreds of women come into our program experiencing the symptoms described in our article. This program is facilitated by women who have themselves experienced abortion and found it to be an event that caused them deep pain. While this program is accessed by women who feel the need to find healing for their abortion experience, we acknowledge that there are women who do not experience any negative response to their abortion decision. What we do see at ARC, are women who many years after their abortion, feel that it was a negative experience that they desire to find healing for. This program is not about judgment, but about supporting those who come to us for support. If you have any further comments or questions, you can always write back on this blog or email us at info@abortionrecovery.ca

Three years ago when I was 21 I made a life altering decision to have an abortion. At the time I did not regret it. But I am pregnant for the second time and I have decided to go through with this one. I am now 24 weeks pregnant and I am not regretting it at all.

Based on my decisions back than I thought there was no other way out, other than that to have an abortion. I had family that would have supported me no matter my decision. But the only thing that was holding me back was am I ready for this? The answer at the time was no.

I went to see my family physcian a month later and ended up with PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) Which had an affect on my pregnancy now. I do in someway regret terminating but it was a decision I had to make. It is my body and my life, and I am the one that will be affected bye it forever. It is sad that women must be the ones to face this, and sometimes alone. There are men out there that are scarred by this too I’m sure, but it is us women who have to go through with it.

My bf at the time was not supportive, the day I told him I was pregnant was the same day he “magically” disapearred. I saw him a couple years ago and didn’t have much to say him. But he tried to apologize up and down for what had happened and that he regrets it, but I am stronger now because of everything.

In away I regret having the abortion now that I look at it, but in away I don’t. I don’t know what that child would have turned out like but it wasn’t meant to be.

Again I made the decision for me. Yes there are health risks but it is up to the woman that is pregnant and what she wants to do in my opinion. If you have a spouse that is supportive in this his opinion does matter in a small percentage but again it’s the women that make the final decision….

Kudos for providing false information to women seeking help!
There is NO link between abortion and breast cancer, and “post-abortion syndrome” is a myth. YES, there are some women who feel guilt, remorse, etc, but I’m sure you’ve noticed that your 1/4th of women statistic would imply that 1/4th of women are all wallowing in pits of guilt and depression, borderline suicidal.

You know what makes women guilty, suicidal, depressed, grief-stricken, angry and the list goes on? Adoption. Giving their fully-formed, born baby up. While the pro-choice movement doesn’t make up ridiculous terms like “post-adoption syndrome” or demonize women who choose to put their babies up for adoption, there are MANY women out there who regret it.

There are efforts to make abortion part of normal conversation, and for many it already is. It’s people like you attaching a stigma to it, and fear baiting to push your anti-choice agenda that are holding us back.
