Take a look inside the world’s largest post-abortion healing ministry
Abortion can be physically and emotionally devastating for women who undergo it, and traumatic for men and women involved in the decision. In 1993, clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, and licensed professional counselor Theresa Burke began Rachel’s Vineyard, the world’s largest post-abortion healing ministry.
Research shows post-abortion trauma is very real, and women aren’t alone
For decades, pro-lifers have contended that as the intentional killing of a defenseless, preborn human being, abortion is inherently traumatic. It follows that women undergoing an abortion would experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress (PTS) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the months and years following.

Retreats Rachel’s Vineyard is a safe place to renew, rebuild and redeem hearts broken by abortion. Retreats are held in over 375 locations.
