DESCRIPTION These deeply personal stories demonstrate that healing is possible from the traumatic aftermath of abortion. Dr. Alveda C. King, Pastoral Associate, Gospel of Life; niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. From these true stories, discover how to find healing and peace after an abortion. Millie Lace, MSE, LPC Courageous Women Speak Out on Abortion Since Roe v. Wade in 1973, there have been more than 45 million abortions performed in the United States. Many post-abortive women suffer from some symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These women, emotionally battered by their symptoms, are often hesitant to talk openly about their ordeal. A new book, Real Abortion Stories: The Hurting and The Healing, contains the powerful first-person stories of fourteen women and one man. Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who tells her story in this book, says, These deeply personal stories demonstrate that healing is possible from the traumatic aftermath of abortion. According to the book s editor, Barbara Horak, many women are afraid to share their grief with friends who may be pro life because they fear being rejected and condemned for their decision.

A must read if you're considering abortion by K. Burns (Atlanta, GA)  4 Stars
March 17, 2009
I actually picked this book up because I felt bad about the $5 I spent on a Planned Parenthood book. I figured somehow in the book-cosmos, both purchases would balance one another out. I must be upfront, I am undeniably a life lover. So with that out of the way- if one is contemplating abortion- this would be worth the read. Its a short and easy read. Plenty of real-life scenarios with real-life regrets.

Could you be a little more one-sided? by R. Dinger  1 Stars
February 09, 2008
Fourteen women and one man does not a majority make. When you enter groups and communities of women who have had abortions, you discover that the majority of women are, by and large, perfectly fine with their decision and have no regrets. While there is no denying some women do experience emotional repercussions after an abortion, it is just as unfair to allow these women to speak for all as it would be for me to claim that every woman is just fine after an abortion.
Calling a book "REAL Abortion Stories" and giving it such a transparent agenda is laughable at best, and irresponsible at worst.

A Painful Truth, well presented by Mr. Eric N. Thompson (NM) 5 Stars
June 27, 2007
The painful truth is that personal choice now outweighs any idea we used to have concerning absolute truth or explicit right and wrong..This book shows quite clearly that, in an attempt to correct one problem, we really only create a whole new set of problems.and ....Choice without ALL the details including post abortion counseling and treatment are a recipe for disaster...and that we here in the US STILL have not addressed the "rights" of the unborn child....et
