Whether you are personally struggling with guilt, anger, shame, and confusion in the aftermath of an abortion or you are trying to help a loved one, parishioner, or client, POST-ABORTION TRAUMA is for you. Women and men openly share their experiences following abortion, hoping
that their stories will help you or someone you know through the anguish of a post-abortion experience. POST-ABORTION TRAUMA will help you understand the complexity of the abortion problem--its scope, the church's respones, and its sources. It will help you understand who is affected by abortion and how they are affected. It will describe the Conquerors Post-Abortion Support Network and outline its nine-step recovery program, used successfully with hundreds of women--and men--since its inception in 1985. You'll find our things like: *Why women have abortions; *How abortion affects women physically, emotionally, and spiritually; *What to do if you've had an abortion; and *How to help a friend. From the promise in Romans 8:37--In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us--New Life Family Services in Minneapolis drew the name for its nine-step post-abortion recovery program. Based on biblical principles, the Conquerors program offers hope to women and men suffering from the trauma of abortion
