-      * (Maria:) I have been thinking about whether TAA could try to bring some women and men from Silent No More to some activism...obviously not feasible at every Choice Chain or anything, but what about at the big activism days that are planned farther in advance--banner at Ryerson, HRP at U of T...? I think it could be especially powerful to have some of them with their signs and testimonies at GBC and Ryerson, there are so many post-abortive people there. https://www.endthekilling.ca/blog/2012/06/27/how-healed-help-hurting Is this something we could be intentional about? +      * Including SNMAC at outreach

 +"One of the truths I needed to face was how Sarah Elizabeth died. So I did some research, and I obtained an image of an aborted baby. It was looking upon this image that connected me back to the day of the abortion, to the memory, to the guilt, and to the shame that I had suppressed. While it was one of the most painful actions of my life, it was one of the most liberating. Some years earlier, I had seen a similar image, and that encounter actually led me into the prolife movement. Even though I had not yet processed my own grief, the image of the aborted baby moved me to action on behalf of the unborn, and ultimately into my own healing."

 +"Many years later, I saw a photograph of an aborted baby in a garbage can.  It was a human person, not the blob of tissue I'd pretended to myself was removed from my body.  For the first time, I faced what I'd done and I cried.  The general anesthetic had prevented me from seeing, feeling, touching or hearing anything related to my actual abortion.  It allowed me to lie to myself...Silent No More Awareness initiated my healing by giving me permission not to hide any longer, to tell the truth"
