AFTER ABORTION

Post Abortion Trauma is the negative psychological & emotional side effect that sometimes occurs after an abortion. The majority of women will have some type of negative emotion attached to their decision to end a pregnancy. Many experience feelings like grief, regret and shame. Many more will experience unexplained anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. There are more than 40 negative symptoms that are common among post-abortive women (and even men).
