After-Abortion Support
After-Abortion Support
We recognize the decision to have an abortion is never easy. You may have made the decision without considering other options, you may have felt like it was your only choice. You may have been pressured by your boyfriend, parent, family member, friend, professor, or coach. Perhaps there were several people rallying around you, supporting you. Or you kept it a secret and made the decision by yourself. Regardless of the circumstances, it seemed like the right answer at the time. Yet, why is it hurting you more than you ever thought possible and causing emotions which scare you?
If you would like more information about our after-abortion resources, call us at Insight Women’s Center (785.842.6499) or fill out this form and we can be in contact with you.
If you are looking for help outside of Kansas, H3Helpline is a national after abortion helpline. They offer after abortion support and Help • Hope • Healing for the pain of abortion. Call H3Helpline (866-721-7881) and one of the Helpline Coaches will provide you with healing information. Spanish speaking Helpline Coaches are also available.

Always Confidential
Where can I find support after abortion?
It’s more common than you might think to be emotionally wounded from an abortion decision. You don’t have to suffer alone. Insight Women’s Center staff is here to help you. Studies have shown that having an abortion can cause significant psychological trauma, equivalent of dealing with PTSD (Post traumatic stress disorder).
Abortion Anonymous (AbAnon) is a great first step to find hope and healing.
The purpose of AbAnon is to provide awareness regarding the emotional harm caused by abortion, and to provide a path to healing for those affected. We offer free assistance to those in need of healing and recovery from the pain and emotional impact caused by abortion.
AbAnon serves women, but also assists men, friends and parents who may have participated in an abortion or pressured someone else into having an abortion.
AbAnon is a safe place
Our volunteers and staff have all been touched by or involved in an abortion in one way or another. We understand that abortion is a deeply sensitive and personal topic that affects every participant in profound and differing ways.
We simply offer compassion, and a path to recovery. Whether your involvement in an abortion was a month ago or forty years ago, we believe that no one can participate in an abortion and remain unaffected.
For more information or to register for an Abanon group, email joinus@abanon.org, or call Insight Women’s Center.
Forgiven and Set Free Weekend Retreats
The goal of our after-abortion retreat is to help women reclaim and restore their peace of mind and self-worth. Our team of facilitators have all been touched by or involved in an abortion one way or another. Most of us have attend a retreat ourselves, experiencing compassion and healing.

Additional Questions You Might Have
All of our services are free.
The services provided to you by our center are made possibly by individuals, businesses, and local churches who care about you and what you are going through. We are a faith-based organization & hope to empower you to confidently choose life for your baby, but we also recognize & respect that it’s your choice. We offer non-judgmental ongoing support for you for all three different options for your pregnancy.
You need to bring a photo ID. Having a full bladder is recommended if receiving a pregnancy test or limited ultrasound.
While we attempt to accommodate walk-ins, making an appointment is preferred. We cannot guarantee appointment availability for walk-ins. Please text 785-333-1376 or call 785-842-6499 to schedule.
Our tests are professional medical-grade quality, urine pregnancy tests administered by our licensed medical professionals.
Please allow anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes for your appointment. Our administrative assistant can give you a better idea of how much time your appointment will take depending on the services you request when scheduling.
You can bring your partner, a family member, or friend. First, we will talk with you privately. Then if you give us consent to have your support person in the room, your guest will be able to join you for certain portions of your appointment—including the ultrasound. However, due to our strict confidentiality policy, there will be times we need to speak to you privately. Also, we encourage you to make other arrangements for your children but understand sometimes that may not be possible. Children are welcome to stay with a responsible person in our waiting area.
Our medical services do not include testing for STD/STI’s. Our caring medical staff can educate you on the different types of STD/STI’s and how they can affect your pregnancy. Then provide a referral to a local medical facility that can provide testing for you.
We are committed to support women throughout their pregnancy decision journey. We are prepared to provide after-abortion support to women who feel they can benefit from this service.
We adhere to a strict privacy and confidentiality policy. Clients are protected from disclosure of information that violates their right to privacy except where required by law, required for public health reasons, required to avert a threat of harm to the client or a third person, or when other circumstances may reasonably warrant such use or disclosure without prior authorization (e.g., abuse reporting, suicide/homicide prevention, etc.)
