Project Rachel is here to reach out to those hurting emotionally and spiritually after involvement with abortion.
Without a doubt, abortion can be one of the most traumatic experiences in a person's life. Often with abortion, it seemed the only solution at the time. Feelings of grief, anxiety, guilt and anger are common, not only for the woman who undergoes an abortion but also for the man involved, relatives, friends and even medical personnel. The pain of loss is often buried initally, but may be manifested by relationship difficulties, depression, or other emotional or spiritual problems. It may even be intensified by a sense of alienation from God and the Church.
