As Dr. David Reardon of the Elliot Institute states, "if you are experiencing shame or guilt
because of childhood sexual abuse or abortion, and have a negative experience with a
particular group, you may believe that is what you deserve. It isn't. What you deserve is
respect, a nonjudgmental attitude, and effective assistance as you heal. If one person
or organization isn't right for you, another one will be."

issues is by joining a post-abortion support group. Look in your yellow pages under
"abortion alternatives" and call your local pregnancy care center and ask if they offer
free post-abortion support groups. If your town doesn't have a pregnancy care center,
