Healing after abortion?

Now that abortion has been legally available for more than forty years, we have several generations of men and women who have experienced at least one or more abortions in their lives. It is time for those who make decisions about these things to address this issue and make sure that pastoral care for people after abortion is made widely available. I would like to see regular public liturgies of memorial and healing for those involved in abortion. As a step towards this, we could begin to gather ideas together about how this could be done. As far as I am aware, my own book “Not out of Mind” published in 1998, remains the only published work on this subject. I would be glad to hear from any other individuals or groups who have done similar work, so a more up-to-date work can be created.
