Post-abortive

Post-abortive refers to the physical and/or emotional trauma caused to a woman by having an abortion, and also to the father of the unborn child. It can also be called "post-abortion syndrome" (PAS), "post-abortal", or "post-traumatic stress disorder" (PTSD).

Pro-life advocacy, Bible reading, and church attendance are very effective in overcoming this trauma. Liberal denial does not help deal with the underlying emotional, psychological, and/or intellectual harm that results from abortion.

The United States, particularly the Democrat Party, has a relatively large number of people who are post-abortive. Entire communities or college campuses can be post-abortive and suffering from it, such as Washington, D.C.

Unfortunately, reactions by some post-abortive persons can be so unreasonable when discussing abortion that it becomes impossible to have a productive conversation about it.
