My name is Dawn and I'd like to welcome you to Surviving Abortion.This group is NOT for pro-lifers who want to try and use their beliefs to influence others.I'm starting this group to help those thinking of abortion to become educated about thier decision.I have researched the different procedures(surgical and medical)and I can answer questions or give advice,when appropriate.Being informed about this life changing decision is very important.I can also relate to the aftermath that some women will encounter.As the owner/moderator of this group,I will screen EVERY e-mail before I post them,I will not allow the members of this group to be harrased at all!Also,I know that privacy is very important to many women in this position, you can get a free private e-mail address at http://www.passhugs.com. There is no reason to use your real name unless you want to.We will not judge,only support decisions.I have many different types of links that can be very resourceful posted here.We also have scheduled chat sessions and reminders on the calander.Being an abortion survivor myself,I have researched every aspect of this situation.All situations are different. I can pass along to others the advice women from groups like this one gave me.Those women helped me begin the healing process.This group is for those debating having an abortion as well as those who already have.This is a place to share the stories that you might not be able to talk to others about.I encourage all of you to try and be supportive of the others.Knowing that you've helped someone else get through such a trying time can make you feel better,kind of like something good is coming from something so bad.Again,welcome to Surviving Abortion.You can also privately email me at weaping1@yahoo.com .You are not alone.Tears and Hugs,Dawn
