Freedom through Healing
Statistically, women who have experienced an abortion are all around us. Yet, few of them ever speak about it. It’s their dark secret. The after effects of abortion can mess up a woman’s mind and her emotions for years after the event.
Nearly half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion.*
Twenty-two percent of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion.*
In a study of 100 post-abortive women, 46% of women agreed that the abortion provoked a major crisis in their lives which was frequently followed by an unstable marital or social relationship.**
Abortion is a trauma that causes women to give up on their dreams, passions and life pursuits. They see a trail of brokenness and emptiness that they left behind and lose hope. As a result they settle for less in life when they do not need to. God is in the healing and restoration business. By facing the issues that are holding them back and turning towards God, Liberate Ministries helps women re-awaken their dreams and passions that they may have laid down after their abortions.
