For over 16 years, women and men have been coming to Project Rachel, the post-abortion ministry of the Catholic Church, for help in healing their emotional and spiritual wounds. The priests and counselors in the Project Rachel network understand the pain and loss that follow abortion. They have led thousands of grieving women and men from despair to hope and peace.
The reference to the church was a general reference, not to any specific denomination....the Catholic church is far ahead of any other denomination in what it has and is doing in the pro-life movement. The other denominations, however, have been highly critical of anyone who ever aborted, excluding them from communion, from church activity, shunning them, etc. The church, meant to be the arms of God's love, has rather become self-appointed judge and jury, inflicting further guilt and shame on the post-abortives. This has driven many away from the church and God.
I thank you for bringing up the Project Rachel information as well. I have had the pleasure of being at one of the Project Rachel workshops, meeting Vicki Thorn and getting to know her a bit. Both she and Dr Alveda King (Silent No More) are blessings to the pro-life movement, as well as to the lives they touch personally!
