1986 March/April issue Part 3

Backfire

The National Organization for womens "silent no more" campaign to encourage women who have had abortions to speak out may be backfiring as women who feel they were exploited and traumatized told their stories. The goal of the campaign is to counter the effects of Dr. Bernard Nathonson's dramatic film The Silent Scream which shows the real time ultra sound of an unborn baby recoilong and
 struggeling as
it is being aborted. Lorijo Nerad, president of Women Exploited by Abortion, a group of women who have had abortions and are now fighting to stop legal abortion, says that her group "has not needed to launch a nationwide campaign to solicit letters from women. Our files are crammed with testimonies from women both phsically and psychologically affected by abortion." (Dale O'Leary, The Pilot)
