What will end abortion?

I've said it before and I'm absolutely convinced that the most important element in ending abortion will be aborted women themselves. I'm even more convinced after listening to a CD by Jane Brennan, a regional director of Silent No More, who shared her story of conversion from radical feminist to repentant Catholic revert.

Jane Brennan's story, she says, is hard to tell and hard to hear. She was molested by her grandfather, another relative, and a stranger as a little girl. At a very young age she began trying to drown the hurt with alcohol. By the time she was in high school she was using alcohol, drugs, and sex to try to numb the pain. Twice she became pregnant and aborted her children believing those who told her "It's just a clump of cells."

She bought the lie of the feminist movement as well and became an activist with NOW, NARAL, and Planned Parenthood attracted by their message of "empowerment" and control over the body. And yet, she said, she never felt empowered, and her life was obviously spinning out of control.

The beginning of her conversion was reading the book, Who Stole Feminism by Christina Hoff-Sommers.

Jane's journey illustrates how damaged many women in the feminist camp really are. They need prayer and sacrifice to water the hard ground of their hearts and make it softer so the seeds of faith can take root and grow. Reading the conversion stories of post-aborted women offers a message of hope. It is not only the hope of forgiveness and healing, but the hope that their witness will spare other women from making the same mistake. Jane shares her story in a book called Motherhood Interrupted which includes the testimonies of sixteen post aborted women. It is a work of hope.

Jane also has a blog which is well worth a visit. She and other post-aborted women are the voices of millions of women damaged physically and emotionally by abortion who have found healing in Jesus Christ. I believe their voices will grow louder and louder until the world echoes with their message from east to west. Pray for the Lord to use their witness powerfully.

What impact do you think repentant post aborted women (and repentant fathers) will have on abortion in this country?

Another Woman Dead from LEGAL Abortion

The pro-aborts told us legalizing abortion would make it safe and rare. Well, it's legal, but it sure isn't rare and it's not safe either. Legal abortion kills babies almost all the time, kills women sometimes, and maims women physically and emotionally most of the time. I blogged recently about the little shop of horrors in Philadelphia. Here's another in New York.  Alexandra Nuñez made her choice and it killed her. Most abortionists kill and move on. The women are just collateral damage on the way to the bank. Because the abortion industry fights even minimal health regulations, most of the time the killers get away with it. And you won't find 60 Minutes or MSNBC probing the dirty underbelly of the abortion business or calling for laws to protect women from the unscrupulous. The only thing they're interested in protecting is the sacrament of abortion. It's the women and men hurt by abortion who are starting to speak out. If you know someone thinking about an abortion, speak up. Silence indicates consent. It can kill. Share the message of life and love. Women in challenging situations are not alone. There's caring and compassionate help available. Encourage women to choose an outcome both they and their babies can live with.

"Abortion is Murder." Star Trek Actor Gary Graham is Silent No More

Star Trek Actor Who Paid for Three Abortions Now Condemns Woman's "Right to Choose...to Kill Her Baby"
By Kathleen Gilbert
"A 'spiritual awakening' brought him to a 'tearful epiphany of what it meant for a man to be with a woman, what sex was really designed for by our Creator and … what abortion is.'"


The poisonous roots of abortion are sunk deep in lies. When people let the scales drop from their eyes they begin to see the truth. That's when evil is in big trouble. Pray in thanksgiving for Gary Graham's awakening and for those still mired in the big abortion lie. There are many signs that the lie is unraveling so follow Padre Pio's advice: Pray, hope, and don't worry. And work like your life (not only the lives of the babies) depends on it.
