HIATUS NON-INTERRUPTUS
It's been quite some time since this blog and its sister blog, After Abortion, started a sabbatical. Both Emily and I needed to attend to personal issues beginning in April 2006, as we do these blogs as unpaid folk with regular dayjobs... and although we both thought we'd be back within a few months, unfortunately, our need to attend to personal issues continues. I don't know when Emily and/or I will be back daily or even regularly blogging, but to all our visitors and friends, please know that these blogs and the extensive help links and resources they have provided since February 2003 and March 2006, respectively, will remain available to all as long as there's an Internet and electricity to power up computers.
Feel free to browse around, especially the sidebars of both blogs, and if you don't find what you're looking for, try the sidebar's Google search button (not the one up top of the page, that one is pretty useless).
As I did last year, let me add that we would consider guest-blog posts, but these are also places we always recommend:
NOTE: I'll always respond to emails from anyone in serious, personal need, but to all others, I probably won't have time. If someone's being nasty and/or egregious in the comboxes, please email me and Emily to alert us. Along with Emily, I'll try to check comments for moderation/deletion purposes only, but getting email alerts will be speedier.
Many thanks to all our regulars and visitors for your patience and well wishes.

"After Abortion,...run by Emily Peterson and Annie Banno, two women who had abortions in the 1970s, ...tries to avoid the political tug-of-war that tends to come with this turf. They concentrate instead on discussing the troubling personal effects of abortion on the mothers." ~ Eric Scheske, Godspy contributing editor, in NC Register's "Signs of Life in the Blogosphere", 2/2006
"Godbloggers could, in the best of worlds, become the new apologists...[including] laymen with day jobs: Emily Peterson and Annie Banno, for instance, at the blog After Abortion..."~ Jonathan V. Last, The Weekly Standard online editor, in First Things's "God on the Internet", 12/2005

"I would now like to say a special word to women who have had an abortion...[many are] aware of the many factors which may have influenced your decision, and [do] not doubt that it was a painful and even shattering decision. The wound in your heart may not yet have healed. Certainly what happened was and remains terribly wrong. But do not give in to discouragement and do not lose hope. Try rather to understand what happened and face it honestly. If you have not already done so, give yourselves over with humility and trust to repentance. The Father of mercies is ready to give you his forgiveness and his peace...You will come to understand that nothing is definitively lost and you will also be able to ask forgiveness from your child..."
