Are you still carrying the emotional scars of an abortion, perhaps carried out many years ago? Does guilt feel so threatening that you cannot even contemplate facing what lies behind it? This community exists to allow the healing power of God's forgiveness to enter your lives and remove that guilt. Its not a community for discussing the issues surrounding abortion, providing pre abortion counselling or passing judgement according to our beliefs. For the above reasons this is a private group where you apply to join. To participate in this group two criteria are necessary: 1) you have to have had an abortion 2) you must be in some sort of emotional pain as a result, possibly many years later. It would help speed the joining process if you would indicate the above in your application request. Many thanks.
This is simply a place where the reality of the aftermath of an abortion can safely be faced by anonymously sharing your experience and feelings in a compassionate environment. Here you are encouraged to deal with your loss and consider forgiveness as a means of healing.
For forgiveness to be needed you have to feel that the abortion, although it may have felt OK at the time, is in fact the source of much of the pain in your life and is severely troubling you. Indeed it is that pain which will have brought you here, so that the healing power of forgiveness can be brought to bear. It follows that this place can be of no support to those contemplating an abortion simply because forgiveness is not applicable until after the event. However if you really want to find out what the consequences of abortion have been for some women without judging them or their motives, you are welcome to view the resources and messages in order to share in the experience of those on whom abortion has had a negative impact but they have recovered or are working at recovering.
Maybe their experience, which is their truth, will give you a balance to the information you have received in trying to reach a decision. But remember their experience was very, very painful for them and they wish with all their hearts that you are saved from the same pain. 
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is
too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down
in mid-flight. After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns
if you get too much
so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really do have worth. And you learn
and you learn with every goodbye, you learn... After a While ~ © 1971 Veronica A. Shoffstall
