Access to abortion is the greatest symbol of women's freedom and autonomy! Or is it??
Anyone who has counselled women before (and or after) abortion or who live with the aftermath, knows that.... abortion hurts women (and their families and society).
But what about the 20 million women-to-be whose most basic freedom - freedom to exist - is brutally taken away every year?
Melissa Ohden is the voice of those whose lives are cut short.
In 1977, Melissa Ohden's mother underwent an abortion attempt during her fifth month of pregnancy. Mercifully, the abortion failed, and Melissa was born alive. After being adopted, she found out (during her teen years) the story of her birth and experienced first hand the incredible emotional pain that abortion can inflict. Now, after years of personal grief and questioning, she is telling the world her story - a story of survival, triumph and hope.
Come and hear Melissa speak in a city near you! Find comfort in her journey of healing and be inspired to take a stand against the greatest violence against women, babies and families in our society today - an event not to be missed!
Life Network Australia will be coordinating Melissa's tour of Australia in September. Her tour details will be on our website as soon as they are confirmed.
If you are interested in being involved in the planning/organisation of her visit to your city, please email sonja.couroupis@bigpond.com.
