With so much doubling down on abortion in the news, I keep thinking about all of the women who have had abortions, now listening to some dramatic descriptions of what is happening in some of those same clinics where they once walked in pregnant. The Sisters of Life provide support for women who are pregnant. They also help women who have had abortions and are experiencing sorrow for the loss of their child find healing. As Mother Agnes explained during Monday’s press conference in response to a question about what her message to women who have had abortions would be:

We understand your suffering. Your suffering is real. We have a program of hope and healing for women who have suffered after abortion and who wish to have an opportunity to actually meet other women and be able to share in a very confidential and private setting their sorrow.

It’s a journey, she said, to “finding joy and life again.”
