Mothers Sharing Success Stories of Children They Refused to Abort to Give Hope, Encouragement in Light of NY Abortion Law
By Heather Clark on February 5, 2019
A number of mothers nationwide have shared their personal stories of refusing doctor recommendations to abort, giving others hope and encouragement in the midst of much talk about the abortion “rights” bill signed into law in New York on the 46th year of Roe v. Wade.
“This is a story worth telling. This is a life that I could have thrown away. This is the baby who I could have murdered,” writes Kristi Lee Bensinger Maurer, sharing a photo of her daughter, Emma, now 24.
Emma was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at 28 weeks gestation. Maurer gave her child a chance at life, and says that even “before she was born, I knew she was going to have a story to tell.”
“This young lady excelled in school earning honors and scholarships. This young lady has traveled internationally, played sports and the piano, has sung at Carnegie Hall, was in choirs and musicals and bands, and oh so much more,” Maurer joyed. “This beautiful young lady has chosen a life of service and missions.”
“This gorgeous human being, my beautiful daughter, wouldn’t be here today if I had chosen to abort her 24 years ago, when the diagnosis, that seemingly daunting life sentence, was cast upon her,” she shared. “Can you see what I would have thrown away?”

Abortion survivors to Democrats: We are people, and we have a right to live
Fox News 13 February 2019
Monday morning on “Fox & Friends,” a panel of three abortion survivors weighed in on the debate surrounding the legalization of late-term abortion in New Yorkand similar bills being put forward in Virginia and other states.
Melissa Ohden, founder of the Abortion Survivors Network, Josiah Presley, and Claire Culwell were each adopted and shared their stories of learning they had survived an attempted abortion.
The panel was asked about Virginia Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam’s comments suggesting that a mother and her abortionist will have a “discussion” about what to do with a child that survives an abortion attempt and is delivered alive.
“It’s really sad to hear that, but it’s not surprising to hear that when we live in a country that has arbitrary criteria for what defines personhood,” Presley said. “Abortion’s legal in the first trimester, the second trimester, I mean, the next step is why not the third trimester? Why not right after they’re born?”
