This page is designed to be a resource for women who are considering abortion. We believe women should be fully informed before choosing abortion, and know that abortion providers and advocates often do not share the difficult aspects of abortion and the post-abortive process with women who are experiencing an unexpected pregnancy. The following are resources that share abortion facts and statistics, as well as the side of abortion that is not talked about – regret and pain that women experience when going through with the decision to have an abortion, the procedure itself, and the aftermath.
The following are video testimonies of women who experienced regret after an abortion, and/or were pressured to abort and chose life. We have also included a video of previous planned parenthood employees discussing the effects that their experience working for abortion providers and witnessing abortions had on them.
