The name for our Conquerors group comes from the Bible verse Romans 8:37: “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” While the group is based on Biblical principles, we do not require anyone to be in a particular place in their spiritual journey. We also do not want this to be a barrier to attending our groups. Our program is designed to meet you wherever you are at.
I Thought Abortion Would Bring Relief
The 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, something you had no idea would occur at the time of your decision.
Many times right after the abortion, all we feel is relief. The crisis is over and we are moving on. However, eventually the emptiness and pain that abortion sometimes causes come to the surface along with feelings of guilt, grief, or anger.
Post Abortion Symptoms
Sometimes those who have experienced an abortion do not realize their symptoms are related to the past abortions. Many come to believe that the other stresses in their lives are the source of their pain, and these stresses may have masked the loss created by the abortions.
Your abortion may have been weeks ago or decades ago, but your abortion may still be affecting you.
