Abortion Survivor, Melissa Ohden

What happened to her at the hands of an abortionist

​On the day of the 2019 March for Life, Melissa Ohden told worshippers at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, DC, how she was nearly killed in her mother’s womb at eight months gestation.  
 
In August 1977, an abortionist injected her mother’s uterus with saline solution. Melissa explained what normally happens is that the baby marinates in this toxic solution for 48 hours (for Melissa, it was five days).  Its skin is burned, becomes bright red and peels off its body. The baby’s lungs are incinerated and the heart eventually stops. 
 
Abortionists have abandoned this procedure; not as a humane or moral decision, but because some babies, as in Melissa’s case, live through it. But there are many methods to the abortionists’ madness. Without anesthesia, babies are dismembered, suctioned out of their mother’s wombs or die by having scissors jammed into their skulls. A baby’s anguish can be seen on screen, but its screams cannot be heard.    
 
Melissa weighed close to 3 pounds. Her weak cries and gasps for breath compelled a compassionate nurse to whisk her to neonatal intensive care where she was treated.  When she was two months old, loving adoptive parents took her home.
 
Eventually, Melissa learned about the circumstances surrounding her birth and how her maternal grandmother had coerced her mother into aborting her.  Melissa is now a wife, mother and pro-life advocate who founded the Abortion Survivors Network.  Her story is chronicled in her book, You Carried Me: A Daughter’s Memoir. 
 
Melissa and all pro-lifers will fight against the slaughter of innocents until these sinful acts against God and nature end. We know with every fiber of our being that abortion is an evil scourge that demeans, denigrates and debases us as a people and a nation. Eventually, we will triumph. We are praying to God, the Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints. 
 
President Trump also sides with the unborn. He promised to veto any bill that “weakens the protection of human life.” He said, “I will always defend the first right in our Declaration of Independence: the right to life.”
 
Senator Steve Daines (R., Mont.), who formed the first ever U.S. Senate Pro-Life Caucus said at the 2019 March for Life, “The science is clear. Life begins at conception…every life must be valued, and every life must be protected.”
 
The keynote speaker at the March, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro said, “We stand between America and the darkness.  And we will march until that darkness is banished forever and all of our children can stand together in the sunlight.”

    Trent Horn was our very first speaker to join us at our Annual Pro-Life Symposium here in Southern Maryland.  He is a Catholic apologist that frequently makes the case for the unborn and helps us to do the same.
