MEN & ABORTION

A Special HELP-ARTICLE written by Ken Freeman
Just for Men suffering from a past abortion involvement

Since long before 1972, abortion has been part of the human landscape. Abortion has always been seen as a major cause of emotional pain for the woman because of the "Choice" to kill her own offspring. Yet, throughout the past 30 years, there has been little said about the impact of abortion upon the male.

Men respond to abortion in different ways. To understand how a man reacts to the loss of his child, we must understand his life motivations. According to a brochure called "Men Hurt Too" men have five instinctive drives or motivations that make up their life: "the ability to procreate, provide, protect, perform, and [enjoy] pleasure."
