Helping Post-Abortive Men

Helping Post-Abortive Men: "A man may feel confused about his role as a father. He may even feel rage over his helplessness in protecting his children as a result of the lack of a father's rights. Vicki Thorne of Post-Abortion Reconciliation and Healing states, 'These fathers are in incredible pain. It doesn't matter what role they had in the abortion, they griee full time. The men who tried to prevent the abortion are rage-filled with a sense of impotence that they couldn't protect the child and they couldn't protect the woman.'"
