If
you are seeking abortion recovery counseling, be sure to ask
lots of questions in order to find an agency with which you feel
comfortable. Some programs will offer one-on-one counseling,
other a group atmosphere and some a weekend format.
Make sure the services are confidential. While we
personally choose not to endorse any specific agency, we have made
every effort to verify their commitment to a loving and
non-judgemental approach to post-abortion recovery. We believe
that all unborn children return to Heaven, and will support agencies
and organizations that believe the same.
Feel free to contact us if you should have any
questions!

*AFFILIATE
ORGANIZATIONS*
Abortion Recovery InterNational (ARIN) is an
affiliate assocation dedicated to connecting like-minded
abortion recovery programs. ARIN partners provide post abortion
counseling, care, and assistance in locations around the world.
ARIN emerged recently due to the vast demand
for post abortion healing, which has developed since Roe was
decided. ARIN has recently established the first online directory
solely committed to listing abortion recovery programs within the
United States and abroad. Please visit: www.abortionrecovery.org
They
are in hopes that this vehicle will make abortion recovery efforts
more available to the wounded women, men and their families
following an abortion experience.
ARIN
is also committed to assisting in the design and development of new
post-abortion programs. We predict the rise of more stand-alone
recovery agencies, as well as the programs already existing in
pregnancy resource centers. ARIN anticipates abortion recovery
expansions to include, but not be limited to, licensed therapists
and mental health professionals, bereavement and grief counselors,
and of course churches.
In addition to uniting, and mentoring, post abortion
recovery programs, ARIN serves as a research and educational
resource that provides information on the aftermath of
abortions. They have an extensive listing of the resources and
products available to abortion recovery counselors. Check out

Since the
legalization of abortion in 1973, there have been approximately 50
million abortions performed in the United States. In the years since
abortion was legalized, a number of studies have reported both
positive and negative consequences of this procedure. While much has
been learned concerning the effects of abortion on the men and women
involved, there is still much more to be discovered. This website,
Abortion Research, has been
established for the sole purpose of collecting data concerning the
effects of elective abortion on men and women.
Four
populations are surveyed through this site. These populations
include:
- women
who have experienced abortion
- men
whose female partners have experienced abortion
- parents
whose adult or minor children have experienced abortion
("grandparents" on the sidebar)
- medical personnel who are currently working or who
have worked in a facility where abortion is
performed
