You Are Not Alone

Many women and men believe they are the only ones they know who have had an abortion experience. Few people talk about it because of their shame and embarrassment, causing questions like, "What if my friends no longer like me?" As a result, many women and men suffer in silence.

In reality, 1 in 4 women will have an abortion by age 45. While you are not alone, how you came to the decision to have an abortion is unique.

Did You Hope an Abortion Would Be a Quick Fix?

When asked immediately following their abortion, "How do you feel?" women will often say relieved. The crisis is over, and it's time to move on. But, over time, reality begins to sink in.

The emptiness and pain that abortion sometimes causes come to the surface. It never occurred to you at the time of your decision that you might have feelings of guilt, grief, or anger.

Abortion was supposed to be a quick fix, but as hard as you try, the memories won't stay buried. Few can walk away from an abortion experience without any after-effects.

Have You Felt Any of These Post-Abortion Symptoms?

Sometimes, people do not realize their symptoms are directly related to a past abortion(s). Many believe other stresses in their lives are the source of their pain. But these stresses have only masked the loss created by the abortion(s).

Whether the abortion was weeks or decades ago, it may still affect you. Do any of these symptoms seem familiar?

“Conquerors helped me to truly understand the relentless pursuit and tenderness of God after my abortion.”

“I know there are other women who are hurting because of abortion, and I want them to know they are not irredeemable or forgotten by God.”

“I spent twenty years of my life living in grief and unforgiveness, only realizing later how my pain, fear, and guilt were connected to this life-changing event called abortion. Embracing [God’s] forgiveness prevented it from continuing to destroy myself and my relationships.”

“I was a different person after the abortion. Heartbroken, feeling used and dirty, like no one would want me or love me, I felt alone even when I was with other people. In Conquerors, I found a safe place to come and be released from the crushing guilt.”

“I never thought twice about the long-term effects the abortions would have on me. I was told that when it was done, it would be over, and my life would go back to normal. Because of God’s work through the Conquerors program, I am now free from the guilt and shame of my past abortions."

“The Conquerors program gave me a safe place where I could finally face what I had done. It gave me permission to grieve the loss of my children.”
