"I would now like to say a special word to women who have had an abortion. The Church is aware of the many factors which may have influenced your
decision, and she does not doubt that in many cases it was a painful and even shattering decision. The wound in your heart may not yet have healed. …But
do not give in to discouragement and do not lose hope. …The Father of mercies is ready to give you his forgiveness and his peace in the Sacrament
of Reconciliation.”
