Choose Life… “I just want the truth to be told: that abortion does hurt women. They tell you that it doesn’t, [that] it’s a simple procedure and that you can get on with your life. Well, you do momentarily, but you spend your whole life trying to forget it “.  (Leslie Brunolli, abortion survivor/participant in the Silent No More Awareness Campaign: The Southern Cross, Nov. 2009)
