NOTE: CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTERS or Women’s HELP Centers are groups that are specifically against abortion for any reason, although they may advertise themselves in ways that do not make that clear. Rachel’s Vineyard, affiliated with Catholic Churches who oppose legal abortion, also sponsor support groups for women who have had abortions.

Although there is value in being able to talk to other women who have had abortions, the anti-abortion agenda of Rachel’s Vineyard or Crisis Pregnancy Centers may make it difficult to get the kind of help you need to heal, unless you take a political stand against abortion.
