You've had an abortion.

Now that you are ready to move on with your life, your thoughts and emotions keep pulling you back.  Or maybe, you had an abortion several years ago and suddenly you can’t stop thinking about it.  It all feels so confusing.  You need someone to talk to, to help you make sense of it all.
