Staten Island, NY – Leaders of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign (SNMAC),
the world’s largest network of individuals harmed by abortion, responded today
to Planned Parenthood’s new Mother’s Day appeal and urged post-abortive women to
seek healing.
“Just when it seemed Planned Parenthood’s Mother’s Day fundraising letters
couldn’t get more hypocritical, this year they’ve brought in a children’s author
to say we should honor mothers by donating to the nation’s largest abortion
business,” said Janet Morana, co-founder of SNMAC. “Honoring mothers by giving
money to Planned Parenthood, though, is like honoring our troops by sending care
packages to al-Qaeda. It makes no sense and it’s highly offensive.”
“Planned Parenthood and the abortion lobby told us that terminating our
children’s lives would solve our problems, but that lie has turned Mother’s Day
into a time of anguish and regret for far too many,” said Georgette Forney,
another co-founder of SNMAC. “This Mother’s Day, the voices of Silent No More
want women to find healing and healing begins with the truth.”
“Acknowledging a mother’s pain and regret is a critical step in her restoration
from abortion,” said Fr. Frank Pavone, Pastoral Director of SNMAC. “The Silent
No More campaign understands this and connects post-abortive women with
resources that not only help them cope with their feelings of loss, but also to
become emotionally and spiritually whole again. I urge everyone who has been
impacted by abortion to visit
www.Iregretmyabortion.org to share their regret and begin the healing
process.
Since the launching of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign in 2003, 2,809
women and men have shared their testimonies publicly at over 348 gatherings in
44 states and seven countries where more than 43,000 spectators have heard the
truth about abortion’s negative aftereffects. More than 6,100 people are
registered to be Silent No More. Raising awareness about the hurtful aftermath
of abortion and the help that is available to cope with the pain are two of the
Campaign’s goals.
The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a joint project of Anglicans for Life
and Priests for Life. For more information, please visit our website:
