Post Abortion Syndrome Symptoms

If any of the following questions resonate with you, you may be suffering from Post Abortion Syndrome:

• Do you avoid the subject of abortion?
• Do you feel shame, grief and guilt at the mention of the word abortion?
• Do you have lingering feelings of anger, resentment toward people that may have been involved in your abortion?
• Have you found that you avoid relationships or become co-dependent in them since the abortion?
• Do you feel unworthy of love?
• Are you overprotective of the children you have now?
• Do you use drugs and/or alcohol as a means of escape?
• Do you have an eating disorder or another self harm disorder?
• Do you have unrealistic fears?
• Do you feel a vague emptiness or a deep sense of loss?
• Do you experience periods of depression?

Counseling or support before you make a decision to have an abortion is very important. If family help and support are not available to you, talking with a spiritual or professional counselor before having an abortion can help you better understand your decision.

Remember, it is a woman’s right to be fully informed by her doctor prior to any procedure. A woman should be encouraged to ask questions.
