39 Women Walk 250 Miles to Speak for Unborn Children
Thirty-nine young women recently completed a 21-day march for life. Some have been personally affected by abortion in some way while others simply have a burden for the issue and have taken personal responsibility.
Carisma is an abortion survivor standing in the gap for the Hispanic community and for the "voiceless who deserve the right to live out their God-given Destiny." Anna from Washington desires to see a purity revolution among her generation. Tennille is a post abortive woman, walking for the unborn and to bring hope to her generation that there is healing from the debilitating impact of abortion. LaSondra is walking on behalf of the African American community, where one out of two babies doesn't have a chance to make it out of the womb alive.
39 young women. 39 strong and courageous women from across the nation. Some post-abortive, some survivors of abortion, others stirred by this national calamity who have chosen to walk for life because of their passion for the issue. Together, these women represent the stand for life in the midst of a culture of death. Ref. Source 5
Finding Healing After Abortion Nearly Took My Life
I had been looking forward to my post-abortion healing retreat weekend for months. Years, in fact. The grief and crushing guilt after my abortion 23 years ago nearly cost me my life. My check for the nominal fee was cashed, and the Herculean logistics of childcare and shuttling my three sons to and from activities while mommy was away was complete. As a firm non-believer in GPS, I wrote out my driving directions using the markers from the kids" art table and set off on my 40-mile journey to closure.
Located atop a hill, surrounded by fields and trees, the retreat house was perfectly bucolic and remote. Including me, there were eight retreatants, seven staff members (including the lead facilitator, a nurse, and a certified counselor), and - although it was conducted as an interdenominational Christian retreat - a priest.

When Killing Your Child is Called "Pregnancy Management"
Dr. Mark I. Evans is known around the world for his work in genetics, prenatal screening and diagnosis, and the selective reduction of pregnancies. Of course, 'selective reduction" is code for the choosing and killing of one or more babies in a multiple pregnancy. You don't reduce children - you kill them. But Dr. Evans prefers to refer to this procedure as "pregnancy management.". Ref. Source 7

"No Uterus, No Opinion" - Can Men Have a Say on Abortion?
When arguing with supporters of legal abortion, the debate invariably turns, if the person promoting the pro-life perspective is a man, to the question of whether men should have any say on the topic of abortion. Oddly, the insistence that pro-life men not have an opinion on abortion is almost never applied to men who favor abortion - they"re always allowed to promote abortion despite the fact that they can't have an abortion either.

Doctor Told Me Four Times to Abort One of My Triplets
"Abort, abort," rang through my head the entire taxi ride home from the doctor's office. I was twenty weeks pregnant. How could I abort my perfectly healthy babies?
That was the fourth time during my triplet pregnancy that a doctor suggested I abort one or more babies. Every time it was said as if the doctor was talking about the weather. Didn't he understand what these babies meant to me? What babies mean to a lot of people? I saw their heartbeats. They were alive. Ref. Source 1
A Woman's Amazing Story: "I Survived A Back-Alley Abortion"
"I survived an abortion," the woman standing in front of me said, looking at my sign.
I am one of the summer interns for the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform, and for the last two weeks we have been travelling across the country on The New Abortion Caravan. Dozens of people have given us amazing testimonies, dozens have turned pro-life, but I had never heard this story before.
I was doing "Choice" Chain, a project where we stand with signs of aborted pre-born babies as well as pre-born babies in utero outside the Portage Mall in Winnipeg. When a woman in her mid-forties walked by, I asked her what she thought about abortion. She stopped, looked at my sign, looked up at me and said, "You don't want to hear what I have to say." Ref.
