Staten Island, NY – Leaders
of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, the world's
largest network of women and men harmed by abortion, today
praised South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds for signing into
law a measure requiring doctors to offer women the chance to
view ultrasound images of their unborn babies prior to
performing abortions.
"Two of the most
heartbreaking words I hear from post-abortive women are, 'If
only...,'" said Janet Morana, Co-Founder of SNMAC. "If only
they had known, if only they had understood, if only they
had seen. This law will give to women who want it the
opportunity to see what their children look like before it's
too late. Not only will it save babies' lives, it will
spare women years of torment."
"With this law, South Dakota
offers women visual information that speaks volumes about
the humanity of the child in the womb," added Georgette
Forney, another Co-Founder of SNMAC. "Basically, it gives
women the chance to see the truth, which is why the abortion
industry opposes laws of this type. More truth means fewer
abortions. I'm grateful that the Governor and South Dakota
legislature stood up for women and their children."
Since the launching of the
Silent No More Awareness Campaign in 2003, 2,326 women and
men have shared their testimonies publicly at 189 gatherings
in 44 states and six countries where more than 15,000
spectators have heard the truth about abortion’s negative
aftereffects. More than 4,100 people are registered to be
Silent No More. Raising awareness about the hurtful
aftermath of abortion and the help that is available to cope
with the pain are two of the Campaign’s goals.
The Silent No More Awareness
Campaign is a joint project of Anglicans for Life and
Priests for Life. For more information, please visit our
