Space For Healing
Often, both women and men alike feel as though they were not prepared for the negative emotional side effects of abortion. Abortion is a medical procedure, therefore, it’s often only spoken of in a medical way. LifeClinic is different. We recognize the emotional health risks of abortion, and understand how they affect you as a person. Whether the abortion was days or years ago, we offer resources to those experiencing negative effects to support them in healing.
Is Abortion Affecting Your Life?
Immediately after the abortion procedure, people may feel relief that the crisis is over, but few walk away unaffected. The following symptoms are not comprehensive, but may point to how abortion can impact an individual:
- Grief
- Guilt
- Unexplained Anger of Rage
- Anxiety or Depression
- Substance Abuse
- Fertility Concerns
- Sexual Problems
- Difficulty Maintaining Relationships
- Flashbacks of the Abortion
- Missing Memories about the Abortion
- Nightmares or Sleep Disorders
- Suicidal Thoughts
Studies indicate that a significant number of individuals experience negative emotional and psychological effects after an abortion. While immediate relief is common, a wide range of emotional effects can occur anywhere from months to years following the procedure. If these feelings are not addressed, they can progress to anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, and more.

Symptoms may include prolonged heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever, or unusual discharge.
