April is Abortion Recovery Awareness Month
April 2026
Dear Friends,
Mothers and fathers are not alone in suffering regret after abortion. Yet many of them feel alone precisely because they have bought the lie that abortion solves a problem and were not prepared for the many problems - including regret - that abortion causes. That is why various pro-life and healing ministries have designated the month of April as Abortion Recovery Awareness Month.
We want our society to understand the wounds abortion brings and that healing is available to those who seek it. The largest ministry in the world offering healing after abortion is Rachel’s Vineyard, a ministry of Priests for Life. This ministry offers weekend retreats as well as individual follow-up. Closely related to it is the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, a joint project of Priests for Life and Anglicans for Life. This ministry enables those who have experienced abortion to share their stories. I am privileged to serve as pastoral director of both of these worldwide ministries.
This month we focus in a particular way on spreading the word about abortion healing and forgiveness. Although we really can’t trust the numbers on abortion because, for the most part, they come from the abortion industry itself, we do know that mothers are still having abortions - or being forced into abortion - all over the country, even in states where babies are protected.
While we work on finally abolishing abortion, let’s also make sure that all of the people who make this terrible choice know that they are not alone and that help is available.
When you click this link, you will be letting me know you are committed to doing everything you can to help spread the word about healing after abortion, and you will find suggestions to help you do it. So many mothers and fathers are suffering in silence. Let’s help them find a way out of that prison.
Regards,
