Project Rachel Baltimore is the church's ministry which hosts healing weekend retreats and operates as a referral network of professional clergy, licensed counselors and volunteers, all trained to provide one-on-one spiritual and psychological support for those who are suffering from the trauma of abortion.

Abortion & Coercion

64% of abortions involve coercion

Various sources of pressure & manipulation

Women are often given inadequate

counseling about their abortion

Effects of Abortion

6-7 times higher suicide rates

65% increase in clinical depression

30 % increase in anxiety disorders

100% increase in sleep disorders

“The emotional and spiritual pain can become so severe that the women believe they deserve to suffer for what they have done and find many ways to punish

themselves”

Who are the women who choose abortion?

They are our daughters, partners,

wives, sisters,

relatives, friends and members of our parish

communities.
