Are You Hurting After an Abortion Decision?

Is the pain not going away, months and even years after your abortion? Are you afraid to talk about it?
 
You are not alone!
 
One in three women inside the church has had an abortion. Many Christian women who have experienced abortion struggle with the false belief that God does not forgive this sin.

They also struggle with the false belief that they cannot talk about this with other Christians, and that no one will understand.
 
These beliefs are not true. There is hope.
 
Care Net Pregnancy Resource Centers is a Christian ministry that saves lives by ministering to women considering abortion. The Lord also heals hearts of women and men who have experienced abortion. We use the HEART Healing After Abortion Recovery Bible study to help women and men experience the Lord’s forgiveness.
 
What you can expect from HEART.
Many of Care Net PRCs’ HEART volunteers and staff members have experienced abortion earlier in their lives. They know what you are going through. You will begin by meeting one-on-one with a HEART volunteer. It’s a safe, confidential and non-judgmental place for you to share your feelings, fears and questions. Some women benefit from continued one-on-one meetings, and others are able to join our small group HEART Bible study.
 
HEART is a 10-week Bible study conducted in an individual counseling or small group setting. The facilitators and group members provide support and encouragement in a safe and confidential setting for your healing journey.

  • Anger, bitterness and resentment
