Abstract

Pravo na život je osnovno pravo svakoga. Uz pojam prava na život, često se veže pitanje pobačaja. Porastom broja pobačaja u svijetu, javlja se pitanje postojanja posljedica pobačaja za ženu te njenu okolinu. Kada žena doživi pobačaj kao gubitak vlastitog djeteta te to iskustvo postane toliki stresor da ona ne može svakodnevno funkcionirati, dolazi do pojave postabortivnog sindroma Pitanje postabortivnog sindroma je i dalje kontroverzno, obzirom da se sumnja u njegovo postojanje. Uz ženu koja učini pobačaj, pitamo se tko još može biti pogođen tim iskustvom. Program „Oprostom oslobođene“ namijenjen je ženama koje su izranjene pobačajem. Kroz program se žene upoznaju s velikom ljubavi Božjom i milosrđem. U ovom radu smo putem web ankete ispitali iskustvo žena koje su imale namjerno inducirani pobačaj, a koje su sudjelovale u Programu. Zanimalo nas je koji su bili njihovi razlozi za učinjeni pobačaj, kako su se odlučile uključiti u program te kako su ga doživjele. Žene čine pobačaj jer osjećaju strah i nesigurnost, nespremnost na brigu o još jednom djetetu, u okolini ne pronalaze podršku, a s ocem djeteta su ili u lošim odnosima ili su prekinuli vezu pa ne žele to dijete. Često najbliži ljudi iz njihove okoline žele da se dijete pobaci, a uz sve to ne postoji materijalna sigurnost. U program „Oprostom oslobođene“ uključuju se radi potrage za oprostom od Boga te zbog nemogućnosti da si same oproste. Pobačaj za njih predstavlja teret s kojim se više ne mogu nositi i zbog kojeg nemaju nutarnji mir te traže pomoć. Kroz program su doživjele podršku od žena i od voditeljice programa, osjećaju da su zadobile oprost i da su same sebi oprostile, povratio im se mir te osjećaju oslobođenje i olakšanje. Potrebna su daljnja istraživanja ove osjetljive teme.

Abstract (english)

Right to life is a fundamental right of everybody. Lately, the issue of abortion is linked closely to this right. With the number of abortion arising, there is a growing concern about the consequences of abortion for women who had done it and for her surroundings. When abortion is seen like killing your own child, that stresses you so much that you cannot function on a daily basis, post-abortion syndrome comes out to the surface. The syndrome is quite a controversial issue given the susspicion on its existence. Furthermore, we ask ourselves if there is someone else who is struck by the abortion other than a woman whose child had been aborted. There is a program that is called „Oprostom oslobođene“ (Liberated by forgiveness) that is designed for women who had experienced abortion and in which they are introduced to God's great love and mercy. In this paperwork, we conducted the web questionnaier to examine the experiences of abortion for those women who had had deliberately induced termination of their own pregnancy, and who participated it that program. We were interested in the reasons why they did abortion, why they decided to participate in the program and what do they say about program experience. Women said that they did the abortion out of fear and uncertainty, and because they were not ready for another baby, they did not have any support and there were either relationship problems with baby's father or the realtionship terminated while they were pregnant which, consequently, was the reason of not having the child. Often the people who are close to them don't want child to be born, and above all, there is financial uncertainty as another reason for the abortion. They enrolled for the program because they were looking for forgiveness from God and out of need for self-forgiveness of abortion. They saw abortion as a burden so hard to carry all by themselves which had caused them no inner peace. They had experienced supportive feedback from other women who participated, as well as they did from the program leader. Women felt that they had been forgiven and they also forgave themselves, they feel like they had regain inner peace and they feel liberated and healed. More research had to be conducted for this sensitive topic.
