A.R.C. is the
California/Orange County Regional Office for the Silent No
More Awareness Campaign(SNMAC).
SNMAC is a national
effort to raise awareness about the physical, emotional and
spiritual pain women/men experience after abortion. Georgette
Forney and Janet Morana founded the National Silent No More
Awareness Campaign in an “effort to make the public aware of the
devastation abortion brings to women, men, and their
families."
The three main
goals of the Campaign are as follows:
1) Make the public
aware that abortion is harmful emotionally, physically and
spiritually to women and others
2) Reach out to women who are
hurting from an abortion, let them know help is available
3)
Invite women to join us in speaking the truth about abortion's
negative consequences.
To mark the 5th anniversary of the Campaign, a special full-page
"Signature Ad" has been created and placed in newspapers around the
country. The ad features the names/signatures of over 400 women who
are publicly saying they regret their abortion. You can see it
by clicking the link below.
Silent No More's effectiveness is being seen in an increase of
the number of people seeking help through abortion after-care
programs. And in October 2006, the American Psychological
Association withdrew an official statement denying a link between
abortion and psychological harm, while at the same time 15 of Great
Britain's leading obstetricians and psychiatrists penned an open
letter to the London Times acknowledging the psychological
consequences of abortions. Clearly, women deserve to know the truth
about abortion.
Since officially launching the Silent No More Awareness Campaign
in 2003, 2100 women and men have shared testimonies at 160
Gatherings that have occurred in 44 states and 5 countries with more
than 12,030 spectators having heard the truth about abortion's
negative after-affects. More than 3,800 people have registered
online to be silent no more.
We are honored to be a part
of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign and to organize
annual gatherings for women/men to share their testimonies. In
January of 2004, 2005 and 2006 we partnered with Renewed
Hope Ministry - www.renewedhopeministry.org (California/Riverside
County Regional Office) to hold events in Riverside and Orange
County. Pictures of our most recent event can be found on
the Renewed Hope Ministry website.
If you've had an abortion
and deeply regret it, or if you participated in an abortion with a
friend or family member, please consider joining us in January
2009. Participants can share their testimonies or just hold a
sign if they don’t wish to speak. If interested, please
contact us at 949-679-9276.
