Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Over the years of doing post abortion work I have seen the havoc of abortion on relationships. So often women abort in the quest to "save" a relationship because the father does not want a child. Trouble is, the abortion is often the very thing that destroys what they were trying to save.

Very few relationships survive abortion, and even fewer of those that do survive work through the healing process together to have a healthy relationship, however, those that are willing to work through it together often have solid wonderful relationships after.

Washington,
DC (LifeNews.com) — Abortion is seen by some women having them
as a way to salvage a relationship with a husband or boyfriend. But,
a new study finds women and men who are not properly counseled before
the abortion ultimately find themselves suffering from relationship
problems and post-traumatic stress disorder.

The
study makes it apparent that many women are having abortions under
the false assumption that it will aid their relationships.

It
indicates that better pre-abortion counseling would prevent some abortions
by helping women understand abortion is not a solution to relationship
problems — but actually causes more.

The
new paper, authored by researchers Catherine T. Coyle, Priscilla K.
Coleman, and Vincent M. Rue, is published in the online journal, Traumatology.
