Abortion is devastating for all parties involved. We most often think of the innocent child whose life is lost or the mother who suffers the weight of guilt and depression following an abortion. But there is an often-forgotten victim in abortion, the men. Join us as we unpack how abortions impact men as we hear stories from men who know exactly what that is like through firsthand experience. Learn how you can help abortion’s forgotten victim, or perhaps how you too can begin to heal the damage left by an abortion in your life on this week’s episode of Straight Talk on Life Issues.
