When Men Finally Speak: Breaking the Silence After Abortion

Abortion does not affect only one person. Its impact can quietly reach into relationships, marriages, families, and future generations, leaving men to carry grief they may not know how to name. In this episode of the LOVE LIFE Podcast, Jack and Sheila Harper sit down with Rob Stoddard for an honest conversation about his personal experience with abortion and the emotional aftermath that followed. Rob shares what it was like to carry his story in silence, how unresolved pain affected his life, and what began to change when he finally allowed God into the places he had kept hidden. Together, they discuss why men are so often overlooked in conversations about abortion, the importance of creating safe spaces for them to speak, and the freedom that comes through confession, forgiveness, and healing. This episode is a reminder that men have abortion stories too, their pain matters, and no one is beyond the reach of restoration.
