Woman Who Regrets Abortion Leads Protest of LeRoy Carhart

by Steven Ertelt | Germantown, MD | LifeNews.com | 8/5/11 1:50 PM

Kelly Stauffer, who underwent a late-term abortion at 14, will be a featured speaker today as pro-life protests continue outside the Maryland office of late-term abortion practitioner LeRoy Carhart.

Stauffer is a member of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, a mobilization of men and women who speak out about their abortion experience. In her testimony, she will describe her experience as a young, pregnant teenager whose parents turned to the late-term abortionist George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas, to end her five-month pregnancy.

Her ordeal lasted five days, and immediately after the abortion, she said during an earlier protest outside Carhart’s office, “I knew I had killed my own child.” A downward spiral followed, with countless visits to therapists and prescriptions for anti-depressants that did not help. Ten years after the abortion, she found a therapist who diagnosed the source of her pain and recommended she attend a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat to find healing.

Now 29, married and the mother of a toddler, Stauffer said her abortion experience “still hurts.”
