MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 20, 2012 /Christian
Newswire/ -- Over 53 million children have lost their lives to abortion in
the United States since the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. Many know the sad
reality of these statistics, but most don't know the amazing reality that
sometimes children survive failed abortions and exist in our world today.
Melissa Ohden, a 34-year-old international pro-life speaker and advocate, wife
and mother, is one such survivor.
Melissa's powerful story of surviving a failed saline infusion abortion in 1977,
of overcoming the concerns regarding her ability to survive past infancy and go
on to lead a "normal" life, of being adopted into a loving family that supported
her in her search for her biological family and in her struggle to face the
reality of her life as an abortion survivor to ultimately become a voice for the
unborn, is featured in the newly released pro-life documentary, A Voice for
Life.
The film features pro-life leaders including Father Frank Pavone, Alveda King,
and Dr. John Willke.
With the 39th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision just a few days away,
pro-lifers from across the nation and from around the world have their focus set
on the upcoming March for Life, the lives that have been lost, and the lives
forever changed from abortion. Although mainstream media attention is often
sparse when it comes to coverage of the March for Life events and the Roe v.
Wade anniversary, Fox News has taken note. This Sunday, January 22nd, Fox News'
America's News HQ program will feature Melissa's life as an abortion survivor,
including an interview with her and clips of A Voice for Life.
America's News HQ airs from 12-2 PM EST, and the segment featuring Melissa is
currently set to air at 1:40 PM EST. We hope that you can tune into the program
to hear a perspective about abortion and life that is often not heard on
mainstream media -- the voice of a child who was aborted and lived.
