What is Post-Abortion Stress?

"After an abortion, some women may exhibit a form of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD).  PTSD is the result of having suffered an event so stressful and so traumatic that the person is taken beyond his/her ability to cope in a normal manner.  Victims of PTSD are unable to simply resume their lives where they left off before the traumatic event.  Instead, they experience a variety of reactions that do not go away merely with the passage of time."  www.inourmidst.com
