Thank God the media are beginning to distance themselves a
smidgen from the more extreme elements of the pro-choice side!
I have been on Huffington Post recently and commenting on the
Wisconsin ultrasound requirement, and my I felt like I threw myself into the
lion’s den.
But when I mentioned abortion survivors like Melissa Ohden,
the replies were ‘oh pul-eeze’ and ‘anecdotal’ and I realized that pro-choicers
do not know that there are abortion survivors and that they, with their
supporters, are maybe beginning to become a significant group of game-changers.
Doubtless many pro-choicers do not want to know – but for those misguided but
compassionate people who have drank the Kool-Aid, it can open their eyes.
I explained in more detail to the ‘oh pul-eezes’ etc –
directing them to the website – and they had no more to say.
These survivors have a very powerful message. They were
present at their mother’s choice. In many cases, as in failed surgical
abortions, their mothers accepted the pregnancies eventually and a few have
become their children’s champions and supporters.
I wish there was a way to publicize them more in the
Media. They are living proof that there is a baby there.
