I was drifting through someone else’s blogroll and saw the “After Abortion” blog  listed– one I thought had ceased regular posting a while back. Well, Emily and Anne still post occasionally. On the current front page they have a long, long, helpful and important post on resources for parents of children with Down Syndrome – born and before birth. They also have a moving, sad, post on the search terms that bring people to their blog:

emptiness after abortion quotes
prayer after an abortion
does a saline abortion hurt
post abortion help chat groups
post abortion syndrome japan
chances of dying during an abortion
can you miscarry after having an abortion a year prior
when is it safe to conceive after an abortion
when to have baby again after abortion
post abortion medicines
bad things about abortion
how will my body heal after my abortion
post abortion healing poems

Within the last 24 hours, several someones typed these words, above, into Google and ended up here.
Well over 100 someones.
This year, this blog has had between 2,300 and 4,700 visitors a month, or 33,500 to date, most of them distinct, not “regulars” and not already pro-life. That’s about 3,700 per month, or 125 daily. This is higher than last year. I think it is due to the election and how this has brought the issue more to the front of our brains and hearts.
We wrote back in February 2008 about the similar Google searches which brought many of our readers here.
In September 2003, Emily wrote about the many similar searches that brought readers here.
We hope this blog can help all those who come here looking for some solace, some referrals to real help, and some sense of community. You really are not alone, especially here.

They are offering their blog as a place to remember aborted children on what would have been the day of their births.  If that interests you, please, go visit.
