Yale Student's Art Project a Natural Extension of Abortion Mindset
Say "Silent No More" Leaders
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 18, 2008
Staten Island, NY – Leaders of the Silent No More Awareness
Campaign, the world's largest network of women and men harmed by abortion, today
decried a Yale student’s controversial performance art project scheduled to be
exhibited next week. The project purports to document the young woman being
artificially inseminated and then self-aborting her unborn children.
"I'm relieved that the student in question has admitted
that she didn't really become pregnant for this project and that no innocent
people had to die for her so-called art," said Georgette Forney, co-founder of SNMAC.
"While initially shocking, though, the project is really just a natural
extension of the abortion mindset's utilitarian view that unborn children are
expendable. After all, if embryonic human beings can be destroyed for the sake
of science, why can't they be killed in the name of art?"
"When people are treated like things, we all suffer," added
Janet Morana, another co-founder of SNMAC. "The lie that unborn children are
not children is a cancer that has resulted in the kind of calloused hearts and
minds that would conceive and approve of a project like this. It's not just
that the project is offensive, it diminishes human life."
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.
