Help
for others affected by abortion
Family members such as grandparents or siblings of aborted children may
also be impacted by abortion in many ways. Other relatives or friends
may also struggle with feelings of grief or loss. While not much is
known about this issue, there are some organizations offering support in
these cases. Here is a list of some groups that may be able to help.
To read some encouraging words about
finding healing after abortion, please visit our
healing page. To find help for those being coerced into unwanted
abortions visit the
Center Against Forced Abortions, a project of the
Justice Foundation.
Please note: The services offered by help/healing groups are
confidential and, in many cases, free. Inclusion in this list should not
be taken as an endorsement of any group's programs or philosophy.
