Understanding the risks of
Abortion
The type of abortion procedure used in elective pregnancy termination is primarily determined by how far a woman is into pregnancy. During the first trimester, there is usually the option of having a medical abortion procedure or a surgical abortion procedure.
Before considering the various abortion procedures, it is recommended that you obtain a sonogram to determine if the pregnancy is viable (uterine, non-ectopic pregnancy) and for accurate pregnancy dating or gestation.
In 2023, OASIS reported that there were 30,856 abortions reported to have been performed on Georgia residents, both inside and outside of Georgia.*

Post Abortion Stress Syndrome
Post Abortion Stress Syndrome (PAS) affects everyone and is a form of post-traumatic stress disorder. The process of making an abortion choice, experiencing the procedure and living with the grief, pain and regret is certainly, at it’s very core, traumatic. As with any trauma, individuals often try to “forget” the ordeal and deny or ignore any pain that may result.
You don’t have to suffer in silence – there is HOPE AFTER ABORTION. For more information, contact us at stateoffice@grtl.org.
