Risk?
Some people seem to come through an abortion
unchanged. Others struggle for years with feelings of grief,
guilt, shame, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, or depression.
Still others have problems with nightmares, eating disor
ders, broken or abusive relationships, substance abuse, and
even suicide.
It is possible for any woman to unexpectedly have a bad
emotional reaction to an abortion. But researchers have
identified several factors that predict which women arc most
likely to suffer the most severe reactions.
The best-established risk factors include: feeling pres
sured to have an abortion; strong maternal tendencies; a
desired pregnancy; feelings of attachment to the unborn
child; a history of prior psychological illness or emotional
instability; lack of support from her parents or her male
partner; adolescence; prior beliefs that abortion is inimoni j
a history of prior abortion(s); or abortion in the secondot
third trimester.
A woman who has one or more oi these factors is Itt
to have strong negative reactions to an abortion.Tbebest
estimates indicate that at least four out of every fivewofflj
undergoing abortion Unlay fall into one or moreot thes
high-risk categories. How many of these women will a® j
ly have post-abortion emotional problems is still unkno*.
For a more complete list of known risk factors, plus s
breakdown of the percentages of women seeking aboraos
who fall within many of these categories, and citation^

Finding the Right Help... Is Just a Phone Cali
When looking for a post-abortion counselor or support group, keep in mind
that many of these groups have different philosophies and approaches.
Many are run by women who have had abortions themselves. Some are run
by licensed psychiatrists, psychologists, or social workers. Others are exten
sions of churches or crisis pregnancy centers.
Be sure to ask lots of questions in order to find a group or counselor with
whom you feel comfortable.
In some cases, especially if you have a history of psychological problems
or other trauma that may complicate your abortion problems, you may need
the help of a professional counselor.
Don’t expect that just any licensed counselor can help you. Indeed, many
professional counselors are unaware of or may even be politically hostile to
post-abortion issues. Many women have reported that their therapist’s insis
tence on looking at everything but their abortion made their problems worse.
If you want a professional counselor, make sure you find a therapist who
has experience and training specifically in the field of post-abortion counsel
ing. Your local post-abortion ministry or crisis pregnancy center can probably
refer you to one.
The following is a partial list of the many local and national organizations whic o e ^
