How Does Abortion Affect Our Lives?

In this honest and hope-filled conversation, we unpack the hidden emotional, spiritual, and relational effects of abortion — whether it happened last week or decades ago. Through personal stories of shame, anger, isolation, depression, self-punishment, and striving, we explore how unresolved abortion experiences can shape our relationships, identity, parenting, and walk with God.

We also begin defining what abortion recovery really is, why it matters, and how healing becomes possible through truth, grace, and surrender to Jesus.
