Here is an article I wrote after the last presidential debate that was published in The Federalist today.
As much as we have progressed over the years, (and we have), I always end up feeling we are still in many ways separating the mother from the baby. Hillary spoke to women in that debate, Trump spoke of the babies. How powerful would it be if he had spoken of the babies as well as the harm abortion has done to women, this way reaching out to that base that is suffering in silence and their families.
Anyway, just my two cents....
Hillary Needs To Meet More Women Who Have Had Late-Term Abortions
“Trump did great. He is going to appoint pro-life Supreme Court justices.” “Hillary spoke to women.” These were sentiments voiced on social media following the latest presidential debate’s exchange on abortion, but as I sat watching, I felt angry and frustrated. The soundbites were filled with the usual lies and certainly missed opportunities. Although Hillary Clinton may have been speaking to women, she certainly did not speak to all women.
I am a post-abortive woman. I minister to women suffering from a past abortion. Our small program serves about 200 new women every year who seek help from the devastation of a past abortion. Most have suffered in silence, alone, because they do not want anyone to know of their abortion. Many of the suffering sat on their couches during the debate waiting for a word spoken to them. Sadly, not one was heard.
