New Poll Provides More Evidence that Abortion Hurts Women Say “Silent No
More” Leaders
Staten Island, NY – The
fact that more and more Americans know women who
have had hurtful abortion experiences is
reflected in a new Marist College poll say
leaders of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign
(SNMAC), the world’s largest network of
individuals harmed by abortion.
“When over half of the American public says that
abortion does a woman more harm than good, that
is the result of women opening up to loved ones
about their abortion traumas,” said Georgette
Forney, co-founder of SNMAC. “The public isn’t
getting that message from the mainstream media;
they’re getting it from ‘Silent No More’
post-abortive women.”
In the Marist Poll, 53 percent of respondents
said that abortion does a woman more harm than
good, while 26 percent said it improves a
woman’s life.
“Our message is resonating,” added Janet Morana,
also a co-founder of SNMAC. “The abortion
industry and its apologists can make all the
false claims they want about abortion having no
impact on women’s physical and emotional health.
Real life is telling a far different story.”
