Healing after abortion is possible—for women, men, and the loved ones who carry its ripple effects.
Who this is for
Start with the person. Then build the response.
Women, men, and loved ones whose lives have been affected by abortion—whether they chose abortion, lost a child to abortion, or have carried grief, guilt, anger, shame, or unanswered questions for years.
What SaveOne actually is
A Bible-based path toward healing after abortion.
SaveOne is an international Christian ministry dedicated to helping women, men, and loved ones recover mentally, emotionally, and spiritually after an abortion experience. Its curriculum was written by founder Sheila Harper from her own experience of abortion and healing.
The faith foundation is stated openly from the beginning. The studies offer a safe, nonjudgmental place to work through pain, grief, guilt, shame, anger, forgiveness, and the thoughts that can remain long after an abortion.
Read the national SaveOne program descriptionFor men
A distinct study that recognizes the loss of fatherhood and helps men address guilt, shame, grief, sorrow, forgiveness, anger, and unresolved thoughts surrounding an abortion experience.
For loved ones
The Ripple Effect is for friends and family members carrying authentic grief or pain after abortion. It helps participants understand the experience and work through loss, stray emotions, and forgiveness.
How it works
A safe, confidential way to begin.
You can begin with a question. You do not need the right words, and you will never be asked to tell your whole story before you feel safe.
Reach out privately
Ask about the next available group, one-on-one, or online option. You do not have to tell your whole story to ask a question.
Choose the right study
SaveOne has separate Bible-based materials for women, men, and loved ones, with supported self-study also available.
Walk through it
A SaveOne leader guides the study in a safe, nonjudgmental setting focused on healing, forgiveness, and renewal.
You choose the pace. We keep the porchlight on.
