PROJECT RACHEL BALTIMORE
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort…with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.”
-2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Project Rachel Baltimore is the church's ministry which hosts healing weekend retreats and operates as a referral network of professional clergy, licensed counselors and volunteers, all trained to provide one-on-one spiritual and psychological support for those who are suffering from the trauma of abortion.
Abortion & Coercion
64% of abortions involve coercion
Various sources of pressure & manipulation
Women are often given inadequate
counseling about their abortion
Effects of Abortion
6-7 times higher suicide rates
65% increase in clinical depression
30 % increase in anxiety disorders

“The emotional and spiritual pain can become so severe that the women believe they deserve to suffer for what they have done and find many ways to punish
themselves”
Who are the women who choose abortion?
They are our daughters, partners,
wives, sisters,
relatives, friends and members of our parish
communities.
