How Abortion Affects Men: One Father’s Story of Loss, Addiction, and Healing

Abortion is often framed as a women’s issue—but what about the men whose children are lost to abortion? In this episode, Sean Corcoran, CEO of Men for Life, shares his deeply personal story of losing his child to abortion and the devastating impact it had on his life.

After the abortion, Sean spiraled into addiction, eventually battling a seven-year methamphetamine addiction and hitting rock bottom. But through faith, recovery, and healing, he rebuilt his life and now works to empower men to defend the preborn.

In this conversation, we discuss: • How abortion affects men emotionally and psychologically • Why many men suffer in silence after abortion • The link between abortion trauma and addiction • Research on post-abortion stress in men • How men can find healing after abortion • Why men are essential to the pro-life movement • The mission of Men for Life

Sean’s story is one of loss, redemption, faith, and purpose—and a powerful reminder that abortion impacts far more people than our culture acknowledges. If you or someone you know has been affected by abortion, this conversation offers hope, healing, and a path forward.
