Abortion Hurts Men, Too
posted by: Mary Kochan
Evidence is accumulating that abortion's effect on the men involved is profound and complex. This website, Reclaiming Fatherhood, offers support to men who are dealing with the aftermath of an abortion and to those friends, family members, or counselors who may be trying to understand and help them.
Please see and share the moving rap video embedded in the front page of that website: a man wishing Happy Birthday -- "I think about it every year." -- to the child whose abortion he paid for, admitting his selfishness and that he committed a homicide.
From the Heavens to the womb and to the Heaven's again.
From the ending to the ending, never got to begin.
I love you whoever you would have been.
We cannot say it enough: Abortion kills babies and hurts women... and men.

From the website: "This web site is an outgrowth of a conference entitled “Reclaiming Fatherhood: A Multifaceted Examination of Men Dealing With Abortion”, held in San Francisco November 28-29, 2007. The conference was organized by the National Office of Post-Abortion Reconciliation and Healing and was co-sponsored by the Knights of Columbus and the Archdiocese of San Francisco. This conference is the first to ever explore the issue of men dealing with abortion."

Rachel's Vineyard Ministries is a Roman Catholic Post-abortion healing ministry that has been offering healing to men for many years. Kevin Burke recently co-authored a book "Redeeming a Father's Heart" that is available at www.rachelsvineyard.org - this website also has a men's section.

Mary - this is awesome - is this an "approved" site in that it is in union with the Church's teachings? (Does it advocate birth control in any way - stuff like that). I am just finishing a comprehensive respect life resource guide and would love to put this site on the brochure. Any help is much appreciated - thank you - God Bless, Kathleen
