I can add little to the passionate plea of survivors of abortion procedures: they did not want to be killed in the womb; they wanted to be born; they want to live.

Accordingly, they spread the word that they are real people, they are not a “choice,” not a piece of tissue to be discarded in the trash.

The latest effort of the Abortion Survivors Network is to file a “friend of the court” briefing with the Supreme Court in the case of the Texas Fetal Heartbeat Law. Please read this message I received on the situation. And, visit their web site for inspiring stories and more information. https://abortionsurvivors.org/

Ground-breaking news! Abortion survivors file brief with SCOTUS

For the first time in nearly 49 years of legalized abortion, abortion
survivors have filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court with the help of the Justice Foundation, as they prepare to take up the Texas Heartbeat Bill on November 1st.

This amicus brief with Created Equal and the Justice Foundation
humanizes and highlights the importance of the Texas Heartbeat bill
as evidenced through our experiences of surviving abortion procedures
and through the long-term physical, emotional, and mental impact these
abortion attempts have on us.

Look for media coverage to break today about this historic amicus brief
You’ll be hearing more in the weeks ahead about groundbreaking
projects abortion survivors in our Network who have found healing,
been empowered with relationships and equipped with education and skill
development are involved in surrounding the Dobbs case that the Court
will hear opening arguments on December 1st.

The Abortion Survivors Network-we’re here in this
moment of time to be a part of long overdue justice and change in
the U.S. with the Supreme Court taking up these cases. We know that
eyes around the world are on our nation, and as we look with hope on
pre-born children’s humanity being acknowledged and protected, other
countries will follow suit.

As we close up a very busy Respect Life month for so many of our
organizations, sidewalk advocacy and prayer, we know that our work
must continue on. And here at The Abortion Survivors Network, our
work is at an fever pitch.

The more we speak out with our stories, the more we are in the
media, the more we submit testimonies on legislation and submit
briefs like this, the more survivors and families discover they aren’t
alone in experiencing a failed abortion and there is hope, help,
community, and a platform their voices can be heard from.
There has never been a more important time for all of us to
humanize the pre-born and abortion survivors, whose constitutional
rights to LIFE were initially denied when they were subjected to
abortion attempts.

Now is not a time to be complacent and wait for the Court’s decision.

We need to double down in our efforts to save and transform lives
everyday and serve those who have been hurt by abortion. Abortion survivors and families who have experienced failed abortions have been long under-served, and we’re grateful to have been called to fill this gap in the pro-life movement. It is our honor to serve alongside you. Thank you for all you’ve done to help us reach 403 abortion
survivors from 18 different countries.

As we celebrate connecting with this milestone number, we also
know we have much more to do. We have tens of thousands more to
reach and serve. And as as we reach and serve them, we change our
culture and make abortion unthinkable.

Please pray for the abortion survivors who recently joined our fall healing
and speakers training groups.

Pray, too, that the national education campaigns we’ve been involved
with, which you’ll be seeing soon, are effective in humanizing the unborn
Pray for the Supreme Court to be impacted by this historic amicus
brief and for them to see that abortion survivors deserved to be protected
by the law and therefore, all pre-born children should be.

Thank you for your generosity over the past year. Truth be told, we need your support now more than ever.Taking on the abortion industry and lobby, the very entities responsible for trying to end our lives, is an important but formidable cause.
We know you give sacrificially to so many, but if you feel called and able
to support these groundbreaking programs and impacts, we would be
deeply honored and grateful for your support.

Please know your gift of financial support, prayers, sharing our attached
amicus brief with others, are all appreciated.
Together for life,

Melissa and the team at The Abortion Survivors Network
