    S2E3: Abortion and Mental Health

    Grace had no idea that abortion had profoundly affected her family until she was an adult.  When searching for answers concerning her family history, she unearthed information that led to even more questions.  Our good God was ever present as she grappled with tragedy, giving her comfort in a time of deep pain.  This is Grace's story.
