Silent No More
According to the World Health Organization, every year in the world, there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day. In the USA alone, where nearly half of pregnancies are unintended and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion, there are over 3,000 abortions per day (World Health). Silent No More is an all Christian campaign that takes women and men that have gone through with an abortion and has them write the stories of how it affected them in the long run. In the campaign, there are currently 2,506 testimonies posted on the campaign website and 17,611 more, who are not ready to tell their stories, have ‘registered their regret’ (Silent No More). That’s not all though. Not only does abortion cause physical and mental harm to the men and women that have had their babies aborted, it is, in all aspects, murder. The fetus is a living, breathing organism and it has the right to live and should not be able to have it’s life taken away by someone else. …show more content…
Christians make the public aware of the devastation abortion brings to women and men. The campaign seeks to expose and heal the secrecy and silence surrounding the emotional and physical pain of abortion. The problem is, not many people know what the causes of abortion are. Silent No More is trying to raise awareness and end abortion. Millions of American women have aborted a child, and the pain, loss, and emotional need to justify what was done, both on the part of the mother and on the part of her loved ones, is strong and deep. The woman, man and baby all deserve better and Silent No More will work with willpower and determination to terminate
