quot;Candidates who
support legal abortion do no favors for women," said Janet Morana,
director of Solidarity with Women, an outreach of Priests for Life. "The
women we serve, who have had abortions, have been wounded by a variety of
people, such as those who pressured them to have the abortion. They have also
been hurt by the elected officials who have allowed abortion to continue.
"What harms the
child, harms the mother also," Morana explained. "Add to that the
fact that abortion is the most unregulated surgery in America, and you have a
formula for the massive exploitation of women. We see evidence of that every
day."
Priests for Life has
been instrumental over the years in exposing the exploitation of women in legal
abortion clinics. Failure to sterilize the instruments, impersonation of
doctors, and sexual exploitation, are among the abuses that have been
uncovered.
"As more of these
women come to terms with what happened to them, they want to see a change, and
they want to see a society that protects both mothers and their unborn
children. That translates into votes for pro-life candidates."
