Silent No More

The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a United States-based anti-abortion campaign of two larger organizations, Priests for Life and Anglicans for Life. It was co-founded in 2003 by Janet Morana, Executive Director of Priests for Life, and Georgette Forney, President of Anglicans for Life.

For the 2012 book, see Silent No More (book).

Positions

The Silent No More Awareness Campaign has promoted a disproved[1][2][3][4][5][6] claim of abortion–breast cancer hypothesis, which posits a connection between abortion and breast cancer.[7]

Silent No More has joined with other groups in protesting any modifications to the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.[8]

Public notability

Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King Jr., frequently speaks on behalf of Silent No More. She has had two abortions. She has stated that, "I work in the civil rights movement of our century -- the right of every one of every race to live. [...] Abortion and racism are evil twins, born of the same lie."[9]
