National Right to Lfie News Today – Melissa Ohden – 5/15/2013
Editor’s note. Melissa, the survivor of a “failed” saline abortion in 1977, speaks all over the world including at the last two National Right to Life Conventions and will again next month. She writes regularly for National Right to Life News Today.
I will forever distinctly remember when Dr. Kermit Gosnell was found guilty on three counts of first-degree murder and one count of involuntary manslaughter by a jury that included nine members who described themselves as “pro-choice.”
I was blinded by tears. I wanted so desperately to hear a guilty verdict, not just for the children who lost their lives in Gosnell’s “House of Horrors,” but for the children who lose their lives in every house of horror–abortion clinics–across our country, every day. My tears came from the hopeful anticipation that the outcome of this trial would send a message to the world about the sanctity of life and continue to further cultivate a change in our culture.
I am stricken by the reality that this is justice served only in this case.
Justice has yet to be delivered today for the 3,000 children who will lose their lives to abortion. Justice has yet to be delivered today for the children who survive failed abortions. (There are more of us than even pro-lifers realize. See http://nrlc.cc/13lfLA9.)
Will they face a similar fate to the children aborted alive at Gosnell’s clinic? Or will they be blessed enough to be provided medical care and a chance at living their life like I was?
They have taken the ghastly, soul-numbing acts of Gosnell and his untrained staff and tried to make it benefit themselves and their fight for abortion at any time, for any reason, no matter what the cost, to women and to children.
Try as the abortion industry might to say otherwise, the very existence of lives like mine proves their falsehoods to be just that. Over the past week, I have had contact with three more abortion survivors (#131, #132, and #133 as I lovingly call my fellow survivors for the sake of anonymity). Our lives, the abortion procedures that attempted to end them, are much more commonplace than even the pro-life community had known before.
God-willing, the truth about the prevalence of late-term abortions and abortion survivors will keep being poured out to the world, even when the mainstream media attempts to avoid it and the pro-abortion industry tries to distort it.
Although I am grateful that justice was served yesterday, justice needs to be served today, tomorrow, and in the days and weeks that come– not just in
