Forgiven and Set Free, an inspired Bible study that can be used by individual women or by a group, effectively ministers God's healing grace to women who are suffering remorse and guilt after an abortion. This study was developed out of Linda's Cochrane's experience of being freed from the bondage of guilt and grief that followed her abortion. "As I read my Bible, Christ was faithful to touch my open wounds with the touch of his promises," she writes. "He promised to turn all my wailing into dancing and he has." Forgiven and Set Free guides suffering and hurting women to bring their emotional scars from abortion "out of the dark past and into his holy light," where true and lasting healing can take place. Appropriate Scriptures help women deal with issues such as: Relief And Denial, Anger, Forgiveness, Depression, Letting Go, and Acceptance.
After an abortion, the forgotten victim is the baby's father. According to the authors of this insightful Bible study, abortion inflicts pain on men as well as on women. These fathers are "silent, wounded warriors" who are suffering from fear, anxiety, anger, guilt, grief, and depression. Men who have lost a child to abortion often have an unexplainable need to defend their masculinity, causing confusion and strife in their relationships.
