  • This is a final decision. Once you have started the procedure there is no turning back. Please contact us to find out more about abortion. You have to make an informed choice and you don't have to do it alone. 
  • Abortion is neither pain free nor 100% safe and it can have many possible consequences physically, emotionally and spiritually. 
  • PLEASE do not go for back street abortions as it may cost you your life or you may struggle with infertility later in life.

Possible after-effects of abortion

Because there is a heart/womb connection during pregnancy, mild to severe emotional responses can be expected, such as extreme guilt and remorse.

As abortion is unnatural, it causes an abrupt change to the female's hormones. This can lead to depression, painful breasts, abnormal bleeding. Multiple abortions are linked with possible breast cancer.
