Seminar Date: May 6, 2009
Presented By: Mary Lee Ingram, LCSW
By the age of 45, one out of every three women in the US has had an abortion. Of those who have experienced abortion, up to 70% report that they are morally opposed to abortion. Many are people of faith. Some clients have or have had a loved one affected by this type of pregnancy loss. The stress is amplified when clients are unable to speak openly with family, friends, loved ones and medical/ mental health providers about this intense loss and their grief. During her workshop, Mary reviewed the impact of pregnancy loss through abortion and introduced Rachel’s Vineyard Retreats, a post abortion healing program for women and men who are suffering from the pain of abortion.
