A group of women from across Canada who know the pain and experience of abortion first hand, are speaking out at the UN this week. Melony, Lorraine, Evelyn, Maria and Denise, each with their own devasting story and negative impact abortion has had on their lives and bodies. They are participating in a workshop at the United Nations' 51st Conference on the Status of Women (CSW) in NY, on March 6th, 2007. This workshop entitled, "Breast Cancer & Reproductive HEALTH" is featuring Dr. Angela Lanfranchi, a Breast Cancer Surgeon and Joel Brind, PhD, co-founders of the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute. The priority theme for the 2007 CSW is The Elimination of all forms of discrimination and violence against women.

This team of women from Canada Silent No More an outreach to post abortive women across Canada believe that, "Induced abortion is the greatest crime against women and children in this generation", states Denise Mountenay Founder and President heading up the workshop. "Our mission is to expose the lies and rhetoric of the abortion advocates and providers and help, educate and empower women on the benefits of motherhood."

"Many studies prove that abortion damages women physically and emotionally yet is ignored by the government, media and our culture," says Mountenay. The team of women has experienced abortion and count themselves as expert witnesses to the physical, emotional and psychological pain and suffering that abortion causes. Lawsuits against abortion doctors will follow in a wave of accountability to doctors who have maimed and crippled women for years after.

CSW's plans for the conference are to make every effort to integrate into their deliberations the review topic of sustained change for women and girls. This requires that gender equality become part of the fabric of education and social norms. Both delegates and NGO officials are addressing gender-based discrimination even before birth.

Millie Lace (Arkansas), Licensed Professional Counselor and Director of the National Helpline for Abortion Recovery says that if CSW is truly pro-woman and truly wants to protect women, they should call upon governments to protect girls (and boys) from the moment of conception.

The team of leaders is sponsored by the Endeavor Forum, Inc., an NGO based in Australia. Women for Life International an umbrella organization co-founded by Molly White, from Texas and Denise Mountenay are confident that as more and more women share their pain of abortion that CSW should call upon governments to strengthen their laws and enforcement against sex selected abortion and sexual exploitation of women and girls. If action is taken today, then we can stop global movement of violence and discrimination against women and the girl child.
