Many, if not most women are traumatized after having an abortion. But you will never hear about that because Pro-Abortion proponents don’t want you to know the heart-breaking, hidden side of abortion.
The following quotes are just a few testimonies from real women who had abortions and what they want other women to know.
It’s been 50 years, but I am still grieved. Only through the forgiveness of Jesus have I been able to live with what I did.
Nobody will ever understand what you will go through after it’s all done. Abortion doesn’t make a baby go away, it just makes a dead baby.”
I pray God forgives me and that someday I’ll see my baby in heaven. It’s been 26 years and I will never forget.”
I’m 51 and had my abortion when I was 18. I think about my baby every day.”
I am 70 years old; I had an abortion 30 years ago. I still regret my abortion every day of my life. I think about the baby that I aborted.…
I killed my baby, it has been 33 years, please don’t kill your baby it will change your life forever…”
I made the biggest mistake of my life and didn’t see it, until it was too late. I regret going through with the abortion. I’m lost, hurt, and the guilt is eating me alive.
We are told as women we have a choice but no one explains what we are choosing. I doubt many would choose to feel the way I have for 10 years so that is why I am SILENT NO MORE.
There is no safety net at Planned Parenthood to protect women who may be at risk for traumatization. They don’t care.
A textbook of the National Abortion Federation has identified many “negative reactions” (p.28-29) that some women have after abortion; some are trauma symptoms: nightmares about babies, insomnia, negative emotions of
guilt, anger, worthlessness, and shame, “blocking out the experience,” avoiding things that trigger memories about the abortion, “engaging in self-punishing behaviors such as substance abuse . . . and relationships with abusive partners,” suicidal thoughts, “relentless thoughts of
being a bad person,” and various self-destructive behaviors (Baker, Beresford, Halvorson-Boyd, & Garrity, 1999 pp.28-29).
Current Data on Side Effects of Abortion
In Rue et al. (2004), 30% of the American women reported nightmares associated with their abortion.
Intrusion symptoms reported after abortion include nightmares, flashbacks, and memories that “seemed to intrude despite trying to forget” (Dykes, Slade, & Haywood, 2010).
In a study comparing 331 Russian and 217 American women, 48% of the Russians and 65% of the Americans reported one or more intrusion symptoms
specifically related to a past abortion (Rue, Coleman, Rue, & Reardon, 2004).
There is a lot more data. You can read the article by Martha Shuping, M.D., M.A. at Counterpoint: Long-Lasting Distress after Abortion to access more studies.
Did You Know?
“Abortion is known as a main cause of maternal mortality, life-threatening complications such as hemorrhage, fever, and infection on the one hand, and psychological disorders such as regret, guilt, smoking, alcoholism, self-destructive behaviors, and even suicide on the other.” NIH (National Institutes of Health)
You probably haven’t heard about these studies and for obvious reasons. The abortion industry doesn’t want you to know! They want women to believe that pro-life groups want to take away their right to health care. They want women to believe that their pregnancy isn’t a baby. It’s a clump of cells. This is all propaganda. If they really sought the welfare of the woman as they purport to do, they would show her an ultrasound and make sure she had all the facts. But, well, they would lose a lot of money if they did that!
“Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20

“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.” 1 Timothy 4:1-2

I believe God put it in my heart to speak up about abortion. It doesn’t take courage. It burns so strongly that I can’t keep silent. It breaks my heart that women have been lied to and deceived about this. I thank God for the pregnancy support centers because at least there is a place she can turn to if she finds herself in an unplanned pregnancy. Thanks for your encouragement and support. Blessings, Eileen! 🙏

Your use of testimonies from the women who had their babies aborted are very effective red flags for anyone considering it. Their heartbreaking comments remind me of individuals convinced by unethical medical professionals they need to alter their anatomy and then cry for reversals. Thank you for being outspoken about this volatile subject. God bless you, Cindy.

Cindy, I used to volunteer at a
Pro-life clinic, and one of the ministries I was involved with there was a Bible study program for post-abortive women. What you have said here is all true. Once women found freedom in Christ from the shame they’d been carrying, their relationships were restored (they were able to handle conflict), they lost weight (no longer needed to eat their feelings away), they found peace (no longer running from the past), and all kinds of amazing, life-changing things that they didn’t even realize had been tied to their abortions. It takes a proper understanding of who God is, a willingness to agree with Him about what abortion is, and a strength to face things in that light. I saw so many women, who had been carrying the burden of abortion, some multiple abortions, forgiven and set free! God is so good and Jesus is always the answer! There was a program for post-abortive men too, which my husband was involved with. People don’t talk nearly as much about the effects on the guys, but it is just as real!

Thank you for sharing this information. I pray that those who read this post will also read your comment. I never stopped to consider how the man might feel or the possibility that he was pressured by his parents to abort the baby. It’s all so ugly! Blessings, ML!

Yes, often men are told it is the woman’s body, so her choice, but he feels it when she chooses to abort for years too, wishing he’d done more to save his baby. It’s so sad all around!

Everything you’ve said, Cindy, is valid and valuable. For those of your readers who have had an abortion and have struggled with the aftermath: I encourage you to get a wonderful Bible study called “Forgiven and Set Free,” authored by Linda Cochrane. It’s offered as a group study through our local Christian pregnancy center (I was on the board there) and at other centers around the country. This study has been life-changing for many women who have found the forgiveness, redemption, and renewal they need. May God continue to open the eyes of women who have been deceived into thinking that an unplanned pregnancy can be ended for convenience, without consequences. There are long-term ramifications–but God, in His great mercy, stands ready to offer His healing and blessings for anyone who calls on the name of His Son, Jesus. Thanks, Cindy, for sharing all of these insights.

Thank you, Cindy, for pointing out that the baby isn’t the only victim during an abortion. These women need the hope and forgiveness of Christ. He will use us to show them that if we are willing and available. And the comment about the effect of abortion on the men is also something we need to remember.

Before I researched this, I didn’t realize the huge amount of trauma being inflicted on the men and women who succumb to abortion. Thanks for commenting. Blessings, Patty!

Thank you, Cindy, for speaking out against the evil of abortion, and I love all four of those Scripture passages you included. My wife and I know a woman (now married for many years) who had an abortion at a young age. She said that she hadn’t been a believer at that time but had later asked the Lord for forgiveness–and received it. We told her that we had observed her love for kids–and not just her own; I said that her love was probably enhanced because of her experience and that the Lord was using her in their lives. She hadn’t thought about it that way before and was appreciative.
