A project where women brag about aborting their unborn babies is gaining momentum
once again with publicity surrounding its new book, “Shout Your Abortion.”
The pro-abortion campaign of the same name took off three years ago with Seattle
woman Amelia Bonow. Since then, it has been promoted by celebrities like Oprah
Winfrey (https://www.lifenews.com/2018/08/20/oprah-winfrey-promotes-shout-your-
abortion-movement-where-women-brag-about-their-abortions/), Amy Brenneman
(https://www.lifenews.com/2018/11/16/actress-amy-brenneman-excited-to-host-party-
for-women-to-celebrate-their-abortions/) and Martha Plimpton

(https://www.lifenews.com/2015/10/23/actress-martha-plimpton-promotes-new-
campaign-of-women-bragging-about-their-abortions/), women’s magazines, and
national news outlets.
Bonow told the Seattle Times (https://www.seattletimes.com/life/how-shout-your-
abortion-grew-from-a-seattle-hashtag-into-a-book/) that their goal is “humanizing,
normalizing and de-stigmatizing” abortion. She said their new book has almost 100
stories of people from age 19 to 85 who have had abortions.
Sharing about aborting her own unborn baby, she wrote: “I’m telling you my story
plainly, proudly, flippantly even, because we have all been brainwashed to believe that
the absence of negative emotions around having an abortion is the mark of an
emotionally bankrupt person. It’s not. I have a good heart and my abortion made me
happy.”
After sharing her story in 2015, the campaign took off. According to the report:

Her friend, the Seattle writer Lindy West, read the piece and
added the hashtag — #ShoutYourAbortion — that was retweeted
over 150,000 times.
Stories started pouring in from all corners of the country. From
older women and younger, established professionals and students
just starting out. They came from victims of incest and rape,
people of different genders and political and religious
backgrounds. Some were trapped in abusive relationships, or
weren’t medically able to carry a wanted pregnancy.
The stories serve to combat anti-choice rhetoric that Bonow and
West believe keep people in secrecy, shame, poverty, toxic and
abusive relationships and devalue their ambitions.
… In the time since, Bonow has created a Seattle nonprofit,
traveled the country and over the last year, and with the help of
West and editor Emily Nokes, turned some of the essays into a
book that she called “a physical manifestation of a movement.”
The pro-abortion news site Rewire claimed (https://rewire.news/article/2018/11/30/why-

now-more-than-ever-we-need-shout-your-abortion/) the revived “Shout Your Abortion”
campaign is needed now more than ever as pro-life leaders work tirelessly to end
abortion or, as the site phrased it, “the legislative and judicial attacks on reproductive
rights” in America.
“The significance of the book—and books of its kind—cannot be overstated,” Rewire
claimed. “For Bonow and her colleagues, these pieces of our cultural history had to be
recorded in such an unapologetic way because the times we’re living through call for
nothing less.”
One abortionist even told Rewire that women experience the same “joy” in abortions
that they do in childbirth:
“Often when somebody has an abortion, it’s the same celebration,

it’s the same joy, it’s the same relief that is present when I’m
helping a woman have a baby,” said Dr. Yashica Robinson, who
maintains a private OB-GYN practice in Huntsville, Alabama,
while also providing abortion care at the Alabama Women’s
Center. “Being able to be there for women, allowing them to
exercise their right to choose, and then seeing their relief and
gratitude when they leave the clinic … it’s overwhelming.”
Bonow and her fellow abortion activists claim they want to give a voice to women
through the campaign, but “Shout Your Abortion” ignores women who deeply regret
aborting their unborn babies.
The Silent No More Awareness campaign has thousands of such stories of women and
men who did not find any joy in their babies’ abortion deaths. Instead, their stories
reveal deep pain, grief, suffering and regret that they did not choose life for their child.
Many were lied to and manipulated by the abortion industry, some even were pressured
into abortions, while others chose to abort their unborn babies thinking they knew what
was best. Later, these individuals painfully discovered that they made the biggest
mistake of their life by destroying the life of their own child.
Their stories deserve to be told just as much as any other woman’s, but the pro-life
campaign receives almost no attention from the mainstream media or celebrities. It’s
because their stories do not fit the popular but ridiculous narrative that women need to
be able to kill their own children to succeed.
