I love Silent No More and have been involved from the beginning, but while it is good and a great way to get the message out, it is not for everyone. I have had some people call me hurt because they spoke out before they were ready or had told their families about their abortions. I always want people to know it is not something they HAVE to do to be healed. Being "Silent no More" is something to be discerned individually through good discernment and a director. Our healing comes from Jesus Christ who already paid the price..for us it is a gift freely given…

It took 20 years after having an abortion for Amy Martin, 45, of Flowood to speak out.
Today, she is one of two state regional coordinators for Silent No More Awareness, an international Christian campaign to inform the public on the possible devastation abortion can cause women and men.
Through gatherings across the country, women share their testimonies of hope and healing after an abortion. Silent No More will hold a gathering at noon Monday at the state Capitol where Martin and other women will share their stories of recovering physically, emotionally and spiritually after an abortion.
Martin's story began at age 16 when she became pregnant by her high school sweetheart, Mitch Martin, in Pelahatchie.
"Everybody thought that abortion was the right thing for us. They truly (believed) they were trying to save our futures," she says. "I really did not want to do it but I felt like, not really pressured so much that I had to do it but I really didn't think that I had an alternative."
