This is something I found that I had written for a presentation many years ago. Although it has gotten much better , I think a lot of post abortive people would still feel this is true. What do you think?
Living in Isolation
Most Women feel alone with no support systems after
the abortion experience.'
Reasons for lack of
Family Support Systems:
- Many times the woman does not reveal the
abortion to family members - The family may have pressured them to abort
- The family does not know what to say to the
woman or how to handle her pain.
Reasons for lack of Psychological
& Psychiatric Support Systems:
- There is denial of PAS within the psychiatric
community - Most mental health professionals are not
trained to recognize the symptoms manifested by those suffering. This
leaves those suffering feeling isolated, confused and crazy.
Reasons for lack of
Religious/Clergy Support Systems:
- Women/men are fearful to approach them for fear
of being condemned - Religious/clerics are not trained to deal with
PAS so they fear they will cause more harm than good - Some fear by offering help they are condoning
abortion
This
leaves most women and men suffering silently, feeling isolated with nowhere to
turn for help
