295 | Why Abortion Is a Moral Injury—Not Just an Emotional Wound

What if the reason you’re still struggling after your abortion isn’t just emotional… but moral?

So many women assume what they’re dealing with is grief. Or regret. Or trauma.

And yes — those are real.

But there’s another layer that often goes unnamed.

It’s called moral injury.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about:

• What moral injury actually is

• Why it affects so many Christian women after abortion

• How it differs from “just” emotional pain

• And how to know if this is what you’re experiencing

If you’ve ever thought:

• Why can’t I just move on?

• Why do I feel like I betrayed myself… or God?

• Why does this feel deeper than sadness?

This episode will help you put language to what’s been sitting heavy on your heart.
