Family members such as grandparents or siblings of aborted children may also be impacted by abortion in many ways. While not much is known about this issue, there are some organizations offering support to those who have been effected by an abortion in the family. Here is a short list of some groups that may be able to help.
Men who have lost a child to abortion, or whose partner has been affected by abortion, please visit our men's page for support links.
