"Abortion... Absolutely Not"A Prolife Website Devoted to Educating Youth on Abortion and Prolife Issues, Helping Pregnant Women and Saving as Many Babies from Abortion as We Possibly Can! Since 1981 we have been operating 5 homes for pregnant women seeking an alternative to abortion. Over 15,000 preborn babies have been saved from abortion through our national hotline (1-800-NO-ABORT) and now our websites. Our experience counseling thousands of pregnant women has taught us that many women get abortions simply because they don't know where to go for housing assistance. We thererfore have developed a "Prolife Shelter Search Engine" which lists over 500 homes for pregnant woman by State.

Healing from Abortion"That abortion wasn't an accident. It wasn't just a difficult decision. It wasn't subject to a sort of situational ethic. It was wrong. I had made a choice to end a life, a choice whose ripple effect had hurt a lot of people over a long time. Having the bottom-line, blatant wrongness finally acknowledged, even so gently, I could accept the forgiveness that before had been as nebulous and foggy as the wrong that nobody would confirm."

Silent Retreat"When I became Catholic, there were teachings in the church that I didn't agree with, the biggest being abortion and Humanae Vitae.... I decided that I could hold my opinions as I wished, but I could not express them publicly or do anything in any way that would compromise the church's position for anyone else.... Out of grace, that agreement became a silent retreat, and here's what happened: for the first time, I had to listen and consider the position of the pro-life movement and the natural family planning folks -- after all, if you can't speak, you finally have to listen, if only out of boredom with your own litany."
