Helping women….saving humanity

Women who know the ravages of abortion firsthand are speaking out in greater numbers in a growing campaign of awareness.

One of the leading pro-life women’s groups took their message to Capitol Hill today and told a legislative briefing room full of Congressional staff and interns that women deserve better than abortion. Feminists for Life of America also unveiled a new slate of speakers who will travel the country addressing college students.

Melissa Ohden, who survived a saline abortion 30 years ago at five months into the pregnancy, shared her story at the nation’s capitol.

Ohden was placed in a neonatal unit until she was adopted, but in a statement sent to LifeNews.com, she sees her near-death experience as a testimony to share with others.

“Instead of being angry or bitter about the circumstances that surrounded my arrival into this world, I have chosen to be grateful,” she said. “The time has come in my life when I believe I need to use my story to provide a voice for women and children and the obstacles that they face in the world we all live in.”

Who in the world could possibly oppose that? The same people who vigorously fight information and the truths about abortion wherever they emerge.
