Julie Cook, national director of Abortion Grief Australia, who works with post-abortive men and women, told the following story of a case of suicide after abortion:
“A woman called recently crying hysterically. It would have been her wedding day, she was inconsolable. Her fiance had taken his life a few weeks before. She had been pregnant and thought it was too soon to add a baby to their relationship, so went for an abortion and didn’t say a word.
When he found out he was overcome with grief and took his life. It’s not uncommon. This is something we must recognise and discuss more openly as a society.”
