caption_attribution_description: English: Women from Silent No More Awareness, a pro-life activist and group for women who have had abortions
context_page_description: 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
context_section_description: Silent No More has attracted the attention of certain celebrities, including actress and former model Jennifer O'Neill, and singer Kelly Clinger, both of whom now serve as national spokespersons for the Campaign. O'Neill has appeared on the television show The View to share her story.
  Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King, frequently speaks on behalf of Silent No More. She has had two abortions. She has stated that, "I work in the civil rights movement of our century -- the right of every one of every race to live. [...] Abortion and racism are evil twins, born of the same lie."
  The National Catholic Black Congress has also mentioned Silent No More and its effects on their website.
  The Holy See's official newspaper, L'Osstervatore Romano, published an article by Frank Pavone, Pastoral Director of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, about the work of the Campaign, on May 4, 2011. This article appeared alongside coverage of Pope Benedict XVI's speech about the pain and healing that follow abortion. As the Vatican's official newspaper, it is read by many Catholic Church leaders and bishops around the world.
  On August 1, 2012, there was a Special Order on the floor of Congress headed by Representative Michele Bachmann, noting the 20th anniversary of Priests for Life, and she and others also mentioned the work of Janet Morana and Silent No More. Six total members of Congress spent 35 minutes speaking about the work of Priests for Life, referring to the Campaign. These six Representatives of Congress included Rep Chris Smith,  Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, Rep. Jean Schmidt, Rep. Louie Gohmert, and Rep. Tim Walberg. C-SPAN broadcast the Special Order live.
