The following is a subject that rarely comes up when a "pro-choice" rally, conversation, whatever takes place.
For anyone out there who has had an abortion or know someone who has:
Often times, women have difficulty accepting the abortion afterwards, in spite of positive reinforcement about "choice" and "rights". In addition to medical complications, there can also be mental, spiritual, or emotional ones. This doesn't get a lot of coverage in the media, and the women who experience these feelings think that they can't or shouldn't express them.
If this describes you or someone you know, you're not alone. A great place to explore your feelings is here:

This site is politically and religiously neutral, so there will not be judgement or backlash of you and your feelings. Just other women in the same boat looking for the same support that you are.
