Abortion survivor to Congress: ‘If abortion is about women’s rights, then what were mine?’

(Save the Storks) “Instead of dying, after 18 hours of being burned in my mother’s womb, I was delivered alive in an abortion clinic in Los Angeles on April the 6th, 1977. My medical records state: “Born alive during saline abortion” at 6 am.”

Gianna Jessen survived a saline abortion 38 years ago. She is a living miracle and a pro life advocate. She asked a House Judiciary Committee a powerful question. “If abortion is about women’s rights, then what were mine?”

Listen to her powerful story here. Life matters.
