God extends His mercy to post-abortive men and women too

Many post-abortive women (and men) mistakenly believe that they have committed the ultimate “unforgivable” sin by participating in the act of abortion, often carrying the burden of guilt, shame, and despair for several years.

Even after acknowledging the wrong they have done, and in some cases going to Confession, some women find it difficult to forgive themselves, or to accept that God has actually forgiven them for such an unspeakable sin.

The truth is that there is no sin that God does not forgive, except, as is written in Matthew 12:32, the sin against the Holy Spirit: “And anyone who says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but no one who speaks against the Holy Spirit will be forgiven either in this world or in the next.”
