Silent No More

The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is an American-based anti-abortion campaign of two larger organizations, Priests for Life and Anglicans for Life. It was co-founded in 2003 by Janet Morana, Executive Director of Priests for Life, and Georgette Forney, President of Anglicans for Life. Morana and Forney stated that in starting the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, they were responding to a need for a pro-life ministry in which men and women who had had experiences of abortion could offer and gain support

The campaign hosts several Silent No More events, or gatherings. At these events or gatherings, large placards bearing the words, "I Regret My Abortion," "I Regret Lost Fatherhood" and "Women Do Regret Abortion" are carried by participants of said gatherings as individuals give various testimonies about their personal experience with abortion.

Each year, members of the organization gather at the steps of the Supreme Court of the United States for a candlelight vigil. Congressman Christopher Smith of New Jersey has called the campaign

"...a powerful new voice". He also said, "These brave wounded women are the new champions of life. They have refused to be silent any longer. They care too deeply about other women and their children and they want others to be spared the anguish they have endured. And to the millions of women who have aborted, they are uniquely equipped to convey the breathtaking love, healing, and reconciliation that God provides to those who ask."

The Silent No More Awareness Campaign has promoted a disproved claim of abortion–breast cancer hypothesis, which posits a connection between abortion and breast cancer.

Silent No More has joined with other groups in protesting any modifications to the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.

The campaign began November 11, 2002. As of July 2012 the Silent No More Awareness Campaign has held 1119 gatherings in 10 countries and 48 states with 5,554 women and men sharing their abortion testimonies.
