Testimonies of Women Who Chose Abortion
You may feel confused and isolated.
You may not have anyone to talk to about your abortion.
You are NOT alone.
Unexpected feelings can be difficult to sort out.
It’s important to remember that feelings are neither right nor wrong but can be powerful and even overwhelming.
The abortion may have happened recently or years ago.
Talking with someone might help lessen the burden.
Post Abortion Counseling & Education (PACE) offers hope.
