La Viña de Raquel is an opportunity for post-abortive women and men to examine their abortion experience, identify the ways that the loss has impacted them in the past and present, and helps to acknowledge any unresolved feelings that many individuals struggle with after abortion. Because of the emotional numbness and secrecy that often surrounds an abortion experience, conflicting emotions both during and after the event may remain unresolved. These buried feelings can surface later and may be symptoms of post abortion trauma.

Married couples, mothers, fathers, grandparents and siblings of aborted children, as well as persons who have been involved in the abortion industry have come to Rachel's Vineyard in search of peace and inner healing. The weekend is a lot of work but yields a fruitful harvest for all who are willing to labor there.

Pro-choice advocates often say that pro-lifers only care about babies. But these retreats are just one way that we put our love, energy, time and money into caring for men and women that have been through an abortion experience.
