New Jersey Tragedy Highlights the Obvious: Losing a
Baby You’ve Never Seen Is Devastating Say “Silent No More”
Leaders
January 7, 2009
Staten Island, NY – The case of a New Jersey hospital that
threw out the body of a possibly stillborn baby is a
heartbreaking story that calls to mind the anguish of
post-abortive women, say the leaders of the Silent No More
Awareness Campaign (SNMAC), the world’s largest network of
women and men harmed by abortion.
“This case illustrates what is obvious – the loss of a baby,
even a baby you’ve never seen, is devastating,” said Janet
Morana, co-founder of SNMAC. “The women and, yes, the men of
Silent No More have suffered this same loss, of having their
aborted children tossed out with the trash, only to have
their anguish minimized or denied by apologists for the
abortion industry. I pray not only that this little boy is
found, but also that his mother experience healing and
closure.”
“My heart goes out to the mother of this baby,” said
Georgette Forney, another co-founder of SNMAC. “Even if the
child was stillborn, he was a human being who should have
been treated with the respect and care that every single
person, born and unborn, deserves. I know the trauma and
heartache of wondering what happened to my baby's body;
officials should turn those landfills upside down until they
restore that child to his grieving mother.”

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.
