Nobody warned me of the psychological damage

I was involved in an illicit relationship and got pregnant. I went to Planned Parenthood but was told I was too far along. Then I made an appointment to go see a doctor for the abortion.

Were you given adequate information and counseling prior to the abortion(s)?

No, I don't believe so. Nobody warned me of the psychological damage that would be after the abortion.

How would you describe your abortion(s)?

The abortion was very frightening and very painful.

The abortion affected me because I spent months and years crying whenever I saw a baby.

Please describe what you have done to deal with your abortion(s), and whether it helped.

I called a priest for an appointment and went to see him. I told him about the abortion and all the pain and guilt.  I was able to find forgiveness and peace.

The abortion has changed my life because my attitude toward life, how precious life is. I hope to be able to help others with their problem and to help stop abortion.
