Summary

Melissa Ohden is someone pro-choice activists would like to ignore. Ohden miraculously survived a saline abortion in 1977. And in a new, controversial ad, she and other abortion survivors ask, “Can you look me in the eye and tell me I shouldn’t exist?” In this latest episode of The Roys Report, Ohden shares her amazing story of survival. She also talks about the battle to change Americans’ hearts and minds about abortion, and the work she does with The Abortion Survivors Network and Faces of Choice.

0:00.0	More than 61 million abortions have been performed in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade.
0:07.7	Pro-choice activists would like you to believe that the masses killed by this procedure were somehow not persons.
0:14.0	Yet Melissa Oden is living proof that they are.
0:17.2	Welcome to the Roy's report, a podcast dedicated to reporting the truth and restoring the church i'm
0:23.4	julie roy's and today we have an incredible podcast planned joining me is melissa odin a survivor of a saline
0:29.8	abortion in 1977 melissa has an amazing story not just of her own survival but melissa runs an
0:37.1	organization called the Abortion Survivors
0:39.5	Network and knows hundreds of other people who have survived abortion. She'll be sharing her story
0:44.8	as well as their stories, and she'll be talking about a new organization called Faces of Choice,

1:00.7	that on. Apparently, the major networks don't want the American public to know that there are
1:06.3	abortion survivors. But I'm sure Melissa and our team are not giving up, so we'll be talking about that.
1:12.0	But before Melissa joins me, I want to just take a moment to thank the sponsors of this podcast,

1:28.3	at Markort of Barrington, Buick, GMC. As some of you may know, Markert of Barrington is owned by
1:34.2	Dan Markort, someone I got to know while I was reporting on Harvest Bible Chapel. Dan Markort is one of a few
1:40.9	courageous former elders at Harvest who took a stand for righteousness, and it's in part
1:45.6	because of his courage that wrongdoing at Harvest was brought to light. So you can imagine if that's the
1:51.0	kind of person Dan is, what kind of car dealership he and his brother Kurt Markort run. You can expect
1:57.2	honesty, integrity, and transparency. I bought my last car from Markort, and it was a great experience from start to finish.
