Many women who come to us for aftercare report emotional side effects after having an abortion. Many who have had abortions feel regret or guilt, grief, an increased tendency for anger, rage, or violence. Some also struggle with loneliness and relationship issues following the loss of their baby. Others report feelings of depression, anxiety, and even thoughts of suicide.
