I was wrong, and so was the Supreme Court
 
 “It’s
been 35 years since the landmark Supreme Court rulings that gave
mothers the right to end the lives of their unborn babies, and we know
so much more now,” said Linda Schlueter, President of the Trinity Legal
Center, which represents women in efforts to expose the truth about the
devastation of abortion.
“I was wrong, and so was the Supreme Court, said Joyce Zounis, who had seven abortions, beginning at age 15.
“It
is a sad day as America reflects on the tragic loss of 50 million lives
lost to abortion,” said Caron Strong, who heads the Women’s Council on
Abortion for the Trinity Legal Center “There is much untold grief and
heartache in the lives of the mothers, fathers, and siblings who have
lost these children to abortion. We will never know the wonderful
impact these precious lives may have had. May God forgive us,” said
Caron who lost four children to abortion.
Joyce
and Caron know well the pain and regret of abortion. Like many women
following an abortion, they plunged into a destructive cycle,
experiencing shame, fear, guilt, grief, nightmares, depression, and
desperation.
“I
grieve for my children lost to abortion, and I grieve for the lost
heritage of their children,” said Joyce, who is featured in a video, “I
Was Wrong
,” a compelling film portraying the tragic choice of abortion and the transformation beyond the devastation of abortion.
“It’s
time for change,” said Caron and Joyce. Both are looking to the day
when women and babies are protected from the harm of abortion. They
point to the price women pay when they choose abortion: grief, fear,
shame, physical and emotional problems, broken relationships and
marriages, and destructive behaviors.
The Trinity Legal Center also represents Sandra Cano, who was “Mary Doe” in Doe v. Bolton, the companion case to Roe v. Wade that
brought abortion on demand to America through the ninth month of
pregnancy. “I will never give up fighting for the rights of children,”
said Sandra. “Life is worth fighting for, and the joy from that special
life we save is worth it all,” said Sandra who never had and never
wanted an abortion and wants to see her case reversed.
Caron,
Joyce, and many other women who have experienced abortion are working
to change how America views abortion, even though it often causes them
to relive the pain of their own abortions. They share how abortion
devastated them in hopes of sparing other women from the pain and
regret of abortion and to offer hope to those hurting from abortion.
They believe it’s time for America to hear the voices of abortion.
