Are there things we should not say or directly ask?
How should you proceed if you ask someone if they’ve had an abortion and they say no, but you think that they’re not being honest about that?
A reminder that some post-abortive women don’t regret abortion, at least not yet.
If they do disclose their abortion history, what sorts of things should we be doing, especially for those of us who aren’t trained counselors?
