If abortion has affected your life, you might have suffered from chronic guilt, depression, anxiety, flashbacks or anger. Maybe you’ve had feelings of being isolated, abandoned or condemned. If so, the Post Abortion Support (PAS) group provides a confidential, loving and non-judgmental environment to help you find emotional and spiritual healing.

You are not alone. Post Abortion Stress affects many women with symptoms that can range from regrets about their decision, depression, sleep disturbances, nervous and other emotional disorders. Symptoms can begin immediately after the abortion or show themselves over years, even decades.

For more information about our Post-Abortion Support Group:

Call the Crisis Pregnancy Center at (760) 568-2200 or email barbara@choiceline.org.

It is free and we offer ongoing 7-week sessions.

For Help:

You can also call the CPC at (760) 568-2200 if you are feeling overwhelmed and would just like to talk to speak with a caring Client-Advocate who has a personal experience with abortion. All information is held in strict confidence.
