Los Angeles Women Participate in International Campaign
Addressing the Reality of Abortion
Los Angeles – Breaking the silence that surrounds the personal experience of abortion (Roe v. Wade) women from the Greater Los Angeles area will tell their stories on January 19th, at 10 am, at Los Angeles City Hall, downtown Los Angeles. The Los Angeles event is one of many happening throughout America and in Washington D.C. in January as part of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, which is co-sponsored by Anglicans for Life and Priests for Life.
“The real experience of abortion is quite different than the rhetoric we’ve heard for 33 years,” said Georgette Forney, co founder of Silent No More Awareness Campaign. “Our voices have been locked in silence due to pain, shame, and fear of judgment. But now it’s time for us to be silent no more about the real problems we’ve dealt with after having abortions.”
Silent No More Awareness is a Campaign whereby Christians make the public aware of the devastation abortion brings to women and men. The Campaign seeks to expose and heal the secrecy surrounding the emotional and physical pain of abortion. Since officially launching the Campaign in January 2003, 3123 people have registered online, 110 Gatherings have occurred in 3 countries and 44 states with 1682 participants sharing their testimonies, and more than 5000 spectators have heard the message.
