According to a study by LifeWay published in November of 2015, “Over 40% of women who have had an abortion say they were frequent churchgoers at the time they ended their pregnancies and about a half of them say they kept their abortions hidden from church members.” Research also indicates that more than 40% of child-bearing age women have experienced the pain of abortion – that’s 2 out of 5 women.
Without question, abortion can be one of the most traumatic experiences in a person’s life.
I never realized how much unresolved guilt and anger and shame I had buried down in my soul because of my past. Even after Jesus found me in my brokenness, I was still unaware of how to resolve the pain and anguish that took up residence in my soul.
