I survived an abortion.
What's a greater feat? I'm going to survive the cultural and media silence on it and thrive in the face of it.

[Melissa Ohden @melissaohden]

You're not allowed to have an opinion on:

- Taxes if you're wealthy
- Racism if you're white
- Sexism if you're male
-Abortion if you had one and regret it
-Abortion if you survived it

Did you find yourself a little angered or irritated by that list? Ask yourself why.

Intellectual diversity is the key to wisdom. What are you missing out on by not listening to other perspectives and sources?

[Melissa Ohden @melissaohden]

The abortion industry is trying to rewrite the narrative for abortion survivors.

We already have a name for what they're trying to do.

It's called gaslighting.

[Melissa Ohden @melissaohden]

No matter how many people tell you "it's not possible" or "it's too hard", remember this:

You only need one person to believe in you.

[Melissa Ohden @melissaohden]

"Roe v. Wade" was a movie about a woman's right to choose.

"Unplanned" was a movie about a woman's right to change her mind.

What do you think scared the industry more?

[Melissa Ohden @melissaohden]

Abortion is not healthcare.

Abortion is not a constitutional right.

Abortion is the intentional killing of an innocent human being.
