Post-Abortion Syndrome is a form of post-traumatic stress disorder. The process of making an abortion choice, experiencing the procedure and living with the grief, pain and regret is certainly, at it's very core, traumatic. As with any trauma, individuals often try to "forget" the ordeal and deny or ignore any pain that may result. Many simply don't relate their distress to the abortion experience. Many times memories can resurface and the truth of this loss can no longer be denied.

If you feel like you would like to talk with someone contact Another Day Resource Center. We offer free confidential lay counseling and abortion recovery support services if you are experiencing any of the symptoms from the list.
