Men: Your Pain Is Real.
Men are not immune to the effects of their partner’s abortion. Men’s grief after abortion can be disenfranchised, overlooked by society. This hidden struggle can lead to isolation and emotional distress. Research on the impact of abortion on men reveals:
1 in 5 men will experience abortion by age 45 through a partner’s termination
71% of men said they experienced adverse effects after abortion loss
83% of men said they would have benefitted from talking to someone
82% of men and women said they didn’t know where to get help.
You matter. Hope and Strength after Abortion is here for you.
