As she mentions the CDC says 400-500 people survive being aborted every year. Melissa was at a fundraiser in White Plains in 2019. She was saved in 1977 by a nurse who rushed her to the hospital neonatal unit. Ultimately Melissa was adopted. She has an MSW degree. Her story is compelling - especially about tracking down her biological relations (including her birth mother) who she now has a close relationship with. Not mentioned - the abortion attempt was a saline abortion. Astonishing she has no disabilities.
A great 20 minute interview with a wonderful and articulate advocate. Go here Melissaohden.com and also here abortionsurvivors.org for more.
Most of Pope Francis comments on the right to life from conception to natural death are suppressed by the media. But you already knew that. We loved his comment a couple of years ago that abortionists were "Nazis wearing white gloves."
“It is painful to note that under the pretext of guaranteeing presumed subjective rights, a growing number of legal systems in our world seem to be moving away from their inalienable duty to protect human life at every one of its phases,” the pope said, noting how the so-called “right” to abortion destroys unborn babies’ right to life.
**********************
The pope said society must respect the right to life for every human being, born and unborn.
“If we deprive the weakest among us of the right to life, how can we effectively guarantee respect for every other right?” he questioned.
Every person “is an end in himself or herself, and never simply a means to be valued only for his or her usefulness,” the pope said. “Persons are created to live together in families, communities and societies, where all are equal in dignity.”
Many times, Pope Francis has condemned abortion and urged Christians to protect every human life. In 2018, he caused outrage among abortion activists after comparing abortion to “hiring a hitman” to kill unborn babies. He frequently describes aborted babies as victims of a “throwaway culture” and encourages society to recognize their value.
