Friends,

Although they don’t mention me or Priests for Life by name, Oprah and Hollywood starlets have launched a campaign urging women to celebrate their abortions in direct response to the Silent No More Awareness Campaign (a joint project of Priests for Life and Anglicans for Life).

As you surely know, the Silent No More Awareness Campaign – co-founded by Janet Morana (Priests for Life) and Georgette Forney (Anglicans for Life) – has recruited tens of thousands of women from across the country to share their experience of the terrible pain abortion has brought them.

Seeing how effective the Silent No More Campaign has been, Oprah and her pro-abortion friends in Hollywood are out to fool women into thinking that having an abortion is (a) something to celebrate and (b) a normal procedure, like having a tooth pulled or an appendix removed. Please don’t allow that lie to go unchallenged.  Join Priests for Life and the women of Silent No More and help tell women the TRUTH about the ravages of abortion.  You can help in two ways:

1. ELECTRONICALLY SIGN the “I Stand with the Women of Silent No More” statement.  Janet will let all the women who join her this January on the steps of the Supreme Court building and the following week in San Francisco know that you are there with them in spirit and PRAYING for their safety.
    
2. Make a DONATION for as much as you can to Priests for Life to help fund Silent No More’s important mission, especially two upcoming January events. (ProLifeDonation.org)

Please do this right now.  Before you go on to your next email.

The courageous women of Silent No More have stepped forward to give powerful personal testimony to just how much damage abortion did to them in hopes of helping women avoid making the same mistake they made.

We have got to warn women who are being lied to and told that abortion is a “solution” or “way out” of a difficult situation to STOP!!!  Killing a child is never a “solution” to anything.  And the guilt and grief a woman will suffer following her abortion will haunt her the rest of her life.

No pro-life campaign is better able or more effective in doing that than Silent No More.

This work is especially important right now because of the insidious “Shout Your Abortion” campaign which Hollywood starlets launched in response to the Silent No More Awareness Campaign.

Hollywood celebrities like Debra Messing are out there convincing women that having an abortion is no big deal and certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

In doing this these pro-abortion fanatics do a grave disservice to women.  There is, after all, a massive body of research that confirms the awful truth about the tragic consequences of abortion.  For example, women who have had abortions:

• Are 63% more likely to receive mental health care within 90 days of the abortion than within 90 days of delivering a live baby.
• Are more likely than other mothers to endanger the health of subsequent unborn children through substance abuse.
• Are almost two-thirds more likely to become clinically depressed.
• And in another survey, over 82 percent of the women who responded indicated they deeply regretted their abortion decisions.

And that doesn’t include the physical risks of abortion ... breast cancer, pelvic infection, infertility, ectopic pregnancy and even suicide!

From all that it’s abundantly clear: 

Beyond taking the life of a child, abortion harms the mother who, far too often, is also killed by the abortionist.

The simple truth of the matter is that, rather than wanting to celebrate their abortions, most women want to sweep it under the rug and forget it ever happened.

I see that dynamic close up every day. 

From its beginning over fifteen years ago, I’ve been privileged to serve as the Pastoral Director of Silent No More Awareness Campaign.  The Campaign was born out of a deep need in women – and men, too! – who have been wounded by abortion and then ignored by the culture, by Hollywood and by the fake news media.  

Abortion has wreaked havoc in the lives of millions.  But Oprah and Hollywood don’t want to talk about that.  Instead they want to keep women enslaved in the abortion web of lies and deceit.  Make no mistake:

There’s nothing to celebrate about the death of a child.

Celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Debra Messing are not the heroines of reproductive rights that they proclaim themselves to be.  To those who have had abortions, they are more like triggers who belong to the oppressive system that victimized them with their propaganda and lies.

Now I don’t for one minute expect Debra Messing or her Hollywood friends or Oprah Winfrey or Hillary Clinton or any of the elites to admit that.  If the truth got out, they’d no longer be able to control the “abortion is normal” narrative.  But the truth is getting out and they are panicking.  

And nothing will wipe the celebratory smiles off their faces faster than coming face to face with that truth, and really listening to the women they claim to represent.

That’s what the Silent No More Awareness Campaign is all about and why I’m counting on you to make a donation that will help Priests for Life promote this truly live-giving ministry. (ProLifeDonation.org)

The Silent No More Awareness Campaign has been incredibly effective, which is one reason why pro-abortion Hollywood launched its feeble attempt to promote abortion.  It’s all part of the abortion industry’s vile business.  In order to keep killing babies, that industry needs to lie to women and keep them in the dark about the emotional and physical pain of abortion. 

Silent No More exposes this dirty secret and brings their deadly work into the light.

Janet – along with Silent No More co-founder Georgette Forney – has recruited tens of thousands of women from all across the country to come forward and give public testimony of the terrible pain abortion has inflicted on them.

As the People of Life it’s terribly important we support the women of Silent No More fulfill their mission and help them carry out their many projects, which include:

• Nationwide public education projects that dispel the myth that abortion is a “solution” or something to “celebrate” but rather the truth that abortion is harmful emotionally, physically and spiritually to women, men and families.
   
• Events where women, man, and other family members wounded by abortion tell their stories in such a powerful way that it becomes unacceptable for anyone to recommend abortion as a “fix” for an unexpected pregnancy.
   
• Give those afflicted and tormented by abortion a platform from which to publish articles and give public testimony to the dangers of abortion.
   
• Put up billboards that warn women of the hidden horrors of abortion.
   
• Air commercials for TV and radio with the same message.

Silent No More has its own DVD which features full-length testimonies, commercials and video presentations.  

These voices of experience need to be heard so others can learn about the help that is available. The brave women and men of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign want people who think abortion is a good solution for someone facing an unplanned pregnancy to understand the real long-term consequences their friend or loved one is likely to face in the future.  Period.

Hollywood and the radical pro-abortion mob do not want that harsh reality getting out.  Which is why I’m asking you to work with Priests for Life and help fund two Silent No More events:

1. January 18, 2019 in Washington, D.C. in front of the U.S. Supreme Court Building. 
    
2. One week later – January 26 – at the Walk for Life in San Francisco.  Talk about going into the lion’s den!

At both events women will give their testimonies while holding up signs that read:

I Regret My Abortion

You’ve probably seen their signs.  And having worked closely with these women I know just how sincere they are.  They truly regret their abortions.  They grieve over the child they killed.  They continue to deal with the guilt that has haunted them for years.  And they have willingly come forward to share their tragic stories with other women.

Needless to say the abortion-biased fake news media ignores them.  But their stories must be told.  And today I’m inviting you to partner with Priests for Life to make sure that happens.      

Your donation today will help the women, men, and other family members of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign tell their stories.  And with the telling, both mothers and babies will be saved from the ravages of abortion. (ProLifeDonation.org)

So please help.  For every $20 you send, the Silent No More Awareness Campaign can print up and distribute TWO “I Regret My Abortion” signs.  And that’s just one cost Priests for Life wants to help underwrite. 

Hollywood’s “Shout Your Abortion” campaign is but one of the many snares the devil is putting out there to trap women into believing his abortion lie.  Help Priests for Life and the women and men of Silent No More to sound the alarm, warn others about this trap and save lives.

Thank you for your help with this.  And know that in appreciation for your quick and generous response, I will remember you at every Mass I offer; as will all the priests of Priests for Life.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Fr. Frank Pavone,
National Director of Priests for Life
Pastoral Director of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign

P.S. I also ask you to PRAY for the safety of all those who will be giving their testimonies this January.  As you witnessed during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the radical pro-abortion Left is unhinged.  They will use their mob tactics to threaten and intimidate these women.  I fear some may resort to physical violence against them.  So please keep Janet and all the women of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign in your prayers.
