What Do Former Abortion Clinic Workers and Survivors of Botched Abortions Have in Common?

In a world that decries fake news, abortion survivors and converted abortion clinic workers...have long been targeted by pro-abortion supporters and the liberal media.

What do former abortion clinic workers and abortion survivors have in common?
More than you would think.

Of course, we’ve all witnessed firsthand the truth about abortion. Add in the women who have had abortions and share the pain of their experience, and we are together a powerful triad that highlight the devastation of abortion. We’ve seen it, heard it, and have to live with it and the memories of it.

It’s that very role as testaments to the truth about and devastation of abortion, however, that leads to another thing we have in common: we’re frequently told that we’re liars. It’s happens like clockwork—Abby Johnson does an interview on Fox and the insults are hurled at her left and right. 
“Liar! Liar! She’s lying!” When Gianna Jessen and I testified before Congress two years ago, the LA Times called us “survivors.” Emphasis on the air quotes there. In reality, my list of the media and pro-abortion supporters who have thrown insults our way over the years could go on and on.
Just this morning, I was reading a Live Action article about fellow survivor, Josiah Presley. Although most of the comments were positive, claims of his story and all of our stories being fabricated permeated the comment section.
In a world that decries fake news, abortion survivors and converted abortion clinic workers, even women who live with abortion regret, have long been targeted by pro-abortion supporters and the liberal media. 

Social media has certainly heightened this phenomenon. It’s easy to type accusations and insults in the comfort of anonymity, while those that you are attacking courageously live their lives in front of the world.
Not surprisingly, I’m contacted by survivors regularly who say that they will never come forward publicly, because they see the comments and attacks that come upon those of us who share our stories in the public arena. I know former clinic workers and women affected by their abortions who are public with their stories receive that same feedback from others with similar experiences.
Our abortion culture seeks to silence the voices of those whose experiences stand in opposition to the predominant narrative. Your life experience doesn’t support abortion as safe, legal and rare? It doesn’t fit with a woman’s right to choose? You are a liar!
