Tampa,
FL (LifeNews.com) — Four women who were injured emotionally and
spiritually by their abortions and regret their decisions confronted
supporters of Barack Obama at a rally this week in Florida. The members
of the post-abortion group Operation Outcry stood on the sidewalk
holding signs that read “My Abortion Hurt Me."

They
were able to share their message of abortion's destructive effects
with over 6,000 people attending the rally.

“I
wanted the people to realize what their support of Obama means when
you think about the damage abortion does to the thousands of women
and men daily in our nation and the loss of our children," Rebecca
Porter told LifeNews.com.

Porter,
who heads the Florida efforts for the post-abortion organization,
told LifeNews.com she was surprised by the number of Obama backers
who were uninformed about the presidential candidate's pro-abortion
position.

"What
surprised me the most was that many people that spoke to us were pro-life
and didn't have a clue about Barack Obama’s liberal voting record,"
she said.

Porter
and her colleagues found men and women who both said their involvement
in abortions caused them significant regret as well.

"We
had several women and men comment that abortion had hurt them too
and we were able to give them a Declaration form and share about abortion
recovery ministries," she said.

The
declarations have been used by more than 2,200 women and men who are
part of the effort by the Justice Foundation, a Texas-based pro-life
law firm that has been trying to overturn Roe v. Wade.

"Thousands
saw us and many were surprised that we could be so bold as to make
such a statement about our abortions," Porter told LifeNews.com.
"We stood and looked people in the eye as we prayed for them
and our nation. We saw so much pain and heartache and many looked
away in shame.”
