Woman who survived being aborted at EIGHT MONTHS after nurse heard cries from medical trashcan spent 17 years tracing birth mother
2017-10-12
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Melissa Ohden, 40, from Missouri, was born despite her mother’s 5-day saline infusion abortion in 1977 when she was eight months pregnant

  • Weighing 2Ib 14oz, she suffered jaundice, respiratory distress and seizures

  • Her 17-year search for answers about her past turned her world upside down

  • She found out she owes her life to the 'angel' nurse who saw her wriggle

  • But she would have been dead if another nurse - her grandmother - had had her way

  • Melissa had a tearful reunion with her birth mother and has now written a book

  • ‘It’s been a painful journey from shame and anger to forgiveness,’ she says

#4  I have pity on some mothers who have abortions. Often they are under a lot of pressure - from the father, their families, their friends, and others. (No pity for mother's who abort because the child would interfere with their career, or they don't want to look fat on their trip to Cancun. )

#3  Twitter will likely censor her story because it is "inflammatory"... God bless the Angel Nurse.
