CAMPAIGN TO REACH OUT TO MOTHERS WHO REGRET ABORTION
WASHINGTON, January 10, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The 'Silent No More' lobby group is forming to raise awareness by placing at the forefront women who regret having had an abortion, and "to reach out to women suffering from their abortion experience."
"We are the voice that hasn't been heard," said Georgette Forney, Executive Director of NOEL, and a co-founder of Silent No More who had an abortion at age 16. "There is a lot of talk about rights and choice, but very little attention is given to women who have abortions. I regret my abortion and I know others who feel the same way. After 30 years it's time to listen to us -- the women who have experienced it."
"Many women can't acknowledge their pain because they are fearful they will be condemned or that their feelings will be dismissed, while others are convinced that they are the only ones hurting," says a press release from the group.
