Reclaiming the Human Center of the Abortion Debate

SBA: Reclaiming the Human Center of the Abortion Debate--Check out our brand new web video “Reclaiming the Human Center of the Abortion Debate.”


As I’ve told you before, this is our 2013 theme here at the SBA List, and most especially today as we commemorate the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The footage you’ll see in the video is from the Congressional briefing we hosted last week where we explored how abortion affects children, mothers, and our communities. In the video, you’ll see inspirational testimonies from Abby Johnson, who recounted her experiences working for Planned Parenthood; Rebecca Kiessling who told her story how she was conceived in rape and targeted for abortion; Dr. Alveda King who examined how the abortion industry targets the African American community; Georgette Forney, who shared her testimony as a post-abortive woman who is “Silent No More;” and finally, Melissa Ohden who bravely talked about how she survived a failed abortion.

The Anguish Of Abortion: What They Won’t Tell You--Last week, graphic autopsy images were released of a woman dying from a legal abortion. Her mother insisted the photos be made public. The story broke my heart. As 18-year-old Marla Cardamone lay in her casket prior to viewing, the funeral director suggested to Marla’s mother, Deborah, they close the casket so people would not see Marla’s disfigured face. Deborah Caramone told him to leave the casket open. She hopes to expose the lies of the abortion industry and wants people to understand that abortions are not always ‘safe and legal’. In order to do this,she bravely chose to show her daughter’s bruised and swollen face, caused by abortion-related complications. Marla died at a Pennsylvania hospital, and Deborah Cardamone vowed her daughter would not be forgotten.
