“I agreed to the abortion” “It was not my decision”
“It wasn’t my body” “I didn’t get a choice”

Men who suffer trauma after their child’s abortion are not often understood. They themselves don’t often make the connection between the past abortion and their current internal struggles.

Maybe YOU are one of these wounded warriors among us?

You experience a battle raging within you but your enemy is impossible to identify or overcome.

Many men are finally coming forward to talk about the pain they experienced due to an abortion decision in their past. You are not alone.

When a woman has an abortion, she will experience the profound effects for the rest of her life. But women are not the only ones who suffer from post-abortion stress. According to Psychiatrist Richard Epstein, “a man may feel deeply rejected by the destruction of the most important thing he can give to the woman he loves and, if so, he may undergo a profound depression.”
