How many survivors will it take for us to see the life behind the abortion?
Today's culture would have us believe that abortion is simply a choice, a right, a controversial argument, and a religious and political issue of pro-life vs. pro-choice. It has become easy to think of the unborn as disposable products of conception--medical waste. But all of that changes when that "product of conception" defies the odds and arrives into this world as a living, breathing human being.
In Abortion Survivors Break Their Silence, we hear the true stories of abortion survivors whose resilience and courage humanize this discussion of "choice" and life emerging from the womb. They are flesh and blood people who, against all odds, survived abortion attempts and have dramatic, touching stories of their own. These stories often begin in shame and secret, but emerge to become inspiring dramas of hope, love, and forgiveness.
This book includes
- Stories of ten abortion survivors
- A compassionate look into the pressures many women feel to abort
- Accounts of medical personnel who worked in the abortion industry

It's time to stop the whispering. It's time to speak up and speak out.
Our culture says that failed abortions don't happen and that survivors don't exist. It's time to shatter that myth. It's time to reveal the truth.
Abortion Survivors Break Their Silence tells the inspiring stories of those who have survived the procedure and lived to tell the tale. These survivors are breaking their silence because the world desperately needs to hear their stories. They are breaking their silence because they have hope--hope that others affected by abortion might break their silence as well.
Melissa Ohden, herself the survivor of a botched abortion, has gathered stories of others like her. She knows firsthand that the people in this book are more than simply a "choice." They are flesh and blood--living, breathing human beings who, against all odds, now have powerful stories to tell. Their stories often began in shame and secret but have since become heartwarming dramas of hope, love, and forgiveness.
The world deserves to know about the reality of failed abortions. This book will open your eyes and stir your heart. It will also leave you challenged, inspired, and maybe even outraged by what you never knew before.
