Healing

Earlier this week, I went to a spiritual healing service. In this service, the idea was to open yourself to God and to let the Spirit flow into you. Through this, God heals you of your struggles and pain. This brought to mind an important part of our movement that is sometimes over-looked.It is not uncommon for pro-abortion advocates to label us pro-lifers as solely interested in the life of the unborn child and disinterested in the health of the mother of this child. This, however, could not be much further from the truth. Being pro-life means to be interested in the health and well-being of all humans, especially the mother of an unborn child. To not be at the side of a woman considering an abortion would be to abandon a woman in her time of need and to forget one of the integral parts of being pro-life.Likewise, we care for women who have had abortions. I have personally heard several accounts of women suffering from physical and mental anguish after having an abortion. This pain knows no age, as it can occur in women as quickly as an hour afterward and last a lifetime. The risks for depression and other mental disorders are significantly higher in women who have had an abortion than in women who have not.It is our duty as pro-lifers to help these women. They are in need of intense healing and compassion, whether they are considering an abortion or have already had one. Please do all that you can to find resources in your area to help these women.For more information on post-abortion issues, please visit this site:http://www.afterabortion.org/reasmor.html
