Help for others affected by abortion 

Family members such as grandparents or siblings of aborted children may also be impacted by abortion in many ways. Other relatives or friends may also struggle with feelings of grief or loss. While not much is known about this issue, there are some organizations offering support in these cases. Here is a list of some groups that may be able to help.

To read some encouraging words about finding healing after abortion, please visit our healing page. To find help for those being coerced into unwanted abortions visit the Center Against Forced Abortions, a project of the Justice Foundation.

Please note: The services offered by help/healing groups are confidential and, in many cases, free. Inclusion in this list should not be taken as an endorsement of any group's programs or philosophy.
