Mother's Day is
the Hardest Day of the Year for Post-Abortive Women
SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota, May 13 /Christian Newswire/ -- Post-abortive women across the country are set to endure the hardest day of the year this weekend, Mother’s Day. "As a woman who has had an abortion, I know the agony women are feeling this weekend," said Karen Nelson, South Dakota state coordinator for Silent No More, a coalition of women who regret their abortion decisions. "This is the day when we remember that if we had not been coerced into abortions, we would be enjoying the company of a child. Instead of caring for our babies, we realize that we killed them. No amount of feel-good fund-raisers will remove our pain." This weekend, some powerful special interest groups will be celebrating the right to kill children through fund-raisers aimed at filling the pocketbooks of abortion providers. The majority of South Dakotans realize that this is an odd way to spend Mother’s Day. "The fact that abortion is being glamorized on Mother's Day should raise eyebrows," said Barb Frick, a member of Silent No More. "Why would Planned Parenthood connect the killing of unborn children with the celebration of motherhood, Mother's Day? Clearly, these outside groups are calloused and can't understand that South Dakotans believe motherhood is something to be valued and honored. We don't want Planned Parenthood’s harmful practices being pushed on our women and children."
