In a recent study conducted by the Family Research Council’s Center for Biblical Worldview and pollster George Barna, a surprising statistic came to light: one in six regular churchgoers in America admitted to having, paying for, or encouraging an abortion. This revelation may shock many, but it underscores the pressing need for guidance and support for individuals facing such difficult decisions.
The statistics from the survey are indeed eye-opening. However, we must remember that every person’s situation is unique, and they often face complex circumstances that lead them to make difficult choices. At Christian Counseling Associates, we approach this issue with empathy and understanding while providing life-affirming resources and assistance.
A Beacon of Hope
CCA is dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate challenging situations with compassion and faith-based guidance. We offer a wide range of services that can be invaluable to those facing unplanned pregnancies or struggling with the aftermath of an abortion.
One of the key services provided by Christian Counseling Associates is family counseling. Our trained counselors offer a safe and nonjudgmental space for individuals and couples to discuss their feelings, fears, and concerns. This support can be especially crucial for those contemplating abortion or dealing with its aftermath.
Furthermore, CCA offers parenting resources, recognizing that some individuals may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of parenthood. These resources can provide practical advice and emotional support to those considering parenting a life-affirming choice.
CCA serves as a bridge to pregnancy centers and adoption agencies, providing referrals and support for individuals who are considering alternatives to abortion. When an unplanned pregnancy occurs, CCA understands that many may wish to explore life-affirming options but may not know where to start. By connecting people with the appropriate resources, CCA empowers individuals with options that make parenting a sustainable choice.
Supporting Those with Regret
In the wake of the survey’s findings, it is essential to remember that some individuals may regret past decisions, including abortion. CCA also offers support for those experiencing regret and emotional distress related to abortion. Our trained counselors can help individuals process their feelings, find healing, and seek recovery from the trauma that can occur after the decision for an abortion has been made.
Recently, CCA had the opportunity to interview Millie Lace regarding her testimonial on trauma after an abortion and how she was able to recover. Please see the podcast below to hear this story of redemption and Millie’s life-affirming work with Concepts of Truth.
